Laravel - using onclick to submit form from checkbox

Question

I have a simple task list project under Laravel.

When I click a checkbox it does not show a checked condition. (The second item is in the true condition in the database and thus shows checked. I cannot uncheck this item) I have searched for an answer to why on the net but cannot find a solution or reason.

Code:

home.blade.php (in views folder) -

@extends('layouts.main')

@section('content')

<h1>Tasks</h1>

<ul>
@foreach ($items as $item)
    <li>
        {{ Form::open() }}
            <input type="checkbox" onClick="this.form.submit()" {{     $item->done ? 'checked' : '' }}>

            <input type="hidden" name="id" value="{{ $item->id }}">

            {{ $item->name }}
        {{ Form::close() }}
    </li>   
@endforeach
</ul>

@stop

HomeController.php (inControllers folder) -

<?php

class HomeController extends BaseController {

public function getIndex() {
    $items = Auth::user()->items;

    return View::make('home', array(
        'items' => $items
    ));
}

public function postIndex() {
    $id = Input::get('id');
    $user_id = Auth::user()->id;

    $item = Item::findOrFail($id);

    if($item->owner_id == $userId) {
        $item->mark();
    }

    return Redirect::route('home');
}
}

Item.php (in models folder) -

<?php

class Item extends Eloquent {
public function mark() {
    $this->$done = $this->done ? false : true;

    $this->save();
}
}

routes.php -

<?php

Route::get('/', array('as' => 'home', 'uses' => 'HomeController@getIndex'))->before('auth');
Route::post('/', array('uses' => 'HomeController@postIndex'))->before('csrf');

Route::get('/login', array('as' => 'login', 'uses' => 'AuthController@getLogin'))->before('guest');  
Route::post('login', array('uses' => 'AuthController@postLogin'))->before('csrf');

im still not sure what your problem is ... can you explain it in a different way — lagbox

I don't know a ton about laravel, but your checkbox doesn't have a name or id attribute so I don't understand how you are accessing the value of that checkbox from your controller. It looks like you are getting the value of that hidden field below it though. — Jacob

in your code, you never update the model's done value. i assume, you want to change it with the post method. so you'd need to take the value from the checkbox name (e.g. Input::get('box-ID'))

you could also create a checkbox using the form class:

// public function checkbox($name, $value = 1, $checked = null, $options = array())
{{ Form::checkbox('name', 'value', true, ['onClick' => 'alert(123)']) }}

You should modify your form like this. It works me I hope will work for you also.

{{ Form::open(['route' => ['items.update', $items->id], 'class' => 'form-inline', 'method' => 'put']) }}

Thanks
