To update dynamic input fields in Laravel, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a form in your blade view that includes the dynamic input fields. You can use JavaScript to add or remove input fields dynamically as needed.
  2. Set up a route and controller method to handle the form submission. This method should accept the form data and update the corresponding model in the database.
  3. In the controller method, you can use the update() method on the model to update the data. You can use the request() helper function to retrieve the input data from the form.
  4. Once the data has been updated in the database, you can redirect the user back to the form or to a different page as needed.


Here is a basic example of how you can update dynamic input fields in Laravel:

  1. Blade view:
1
2
3
4
5
6
<form action="{{ route('update.fields') }}" method="POST">
    @csrf
    <input type="text" name="name[]">
    <button type="button" id="add-field">Add field</button>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>


  1. JavaScript to add input fields dynamically:
1
2
3
$('#add-field').click(function() {
    $('form').append('<input type="text" name="name[]">');
});


  1. Controller method:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
public function updateFields(Request $request) {
    foreach($request->name as $name) {
        // Update or create a model with the input data
        ModelName::updateOrCreate(['name' => $name]);
    }
    
    return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'Fields updated successfully');
}


  1. Route:
1
Route::post('/update-fields', 'ControllerName@updateFields')->name('update.fields');


This is just a basic example and you can customize it to fit your specific requirements.
