To create a dropdown in Laravel, you can use the Form facade provided by Laravel Collective. Here's an example of how you can create a dropdown in a Laravel blade template:

1. Install Laravel Collective HTML package by running the following command:

1

composer require "laravelcollective/html":"^6.0"

1. Add the HTML and FORM facades to the config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    // Other service providers...
    CollectiveHtmlHtmlServiceProvider::class,
  ],

'aliases' => [
    // Other aliases...
    'Form' => CollectiveHtmlFormFacade::class,
    'Html' => CollectiveHtmlHtmlFacade::class,
  ],

1. Create a form in your blade template:

1

{!! Form::select('dropdown_name', $options, null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}

In this example:

• dropdown_name is the name attribute of the dropdown
• $options is an array of key-value pairs where the key is the option value and the value is the option label
• null is the selected option (you can pass a default value here)
• ['class' => 'form-control'] is an array of HTML attributes for the dropdown

1. Don't forget to submit the form to store the selected value in your database.

That's it! You have successfully created a dropdown in Laravel using Laravel Collective.
