Define the selected option with the old input in Laravel / Blade
Instead of using Input class you can also use old() helper to make this even shorter.
<option {{ old('name') == $key ? "selected" : "" }} value="{{ $value }}">
The solution is to compare Input::old()
with the $key
variable using Blade Directives - If Statements.
@if (Input::old('title') == $key)
<option value="{{ $key }}" selected>{{ $val }}</option>
@else
<option value="{{ $key }}">{{ $val }}</option>
@endif
Also, you can use the ?
operator to avoid having to use @if @else @endif
syntax. Change:
@if (Input::old('title') == $key)
<option value="{{ $key }}" selected>{{ $val }}</option>
@else
<option value="{{ $key }}">{{ $val }}</option>
@endif
Simply to:
<option value="{{ $key }}" {{ (Input::old("title") == $key ? "selected":"") }}>{{ $val }}</option>
