Creating an edit modal in Laravel 5

$(document).ready(function() {
  /**
   * for showing edit item popup
   */

  $(document).on('click', "#edit-item", function() {
    $(this).addClass('edit-item-trigger-clicked'); //useful for identifying which trigger was clicked and consequently grab data from the correct row and not the wrong one.

    var options = {
      'backdrop': 'static'
    };
    $('#edit-modal').modal(options)
  })

  // on modal show
  $('#edit-modal').on('show.bs.modal', function() {
    var el = $(".edit-item-trigger-clicked"); // See how its usefull right here? 
    var row = el.closest(".data-row");

    // get the data
    var id = el.data('item-id');
    var name = row.children(".name").text();
    var description = row.children(".description").text();

    // fill the data in the input fields
    $("#modal-input-id").val(id);
    $("#modal-input-name").val(name);
    $("#modal-input-description").val(description);

  })

  // on modal hide
  $('#edit-modal').on('hide.bs.modal', function() {
    $('.edit-item-trigger-clicked').removeClass('edit-item-trigger-clicked')
    $("#edit-form").trigger("reset");
  })
})
