I'm trying to populate a form with my logged in user so I can edit some profile information.
I currently have this code (only trying to display the email first, will populate the form later once this works):
I made an editprofile.blade.php template with:
@extends('masterpage')
@section('content')
<h1> Edit Profile </h1>
{{ Form::model($user) }}
<div class="form-group">
{{ Form::label('email', 'E-mail') }}
{{ Form::Text('email', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
</div>
{{ Form::close() }}
@stop
In myProfileController.php I have:
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Auth;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Html\FormFacade;
use Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade;
class ProfileController extends Controller {
public function show() {
$user = Auth::user();
return view('pages.editprofile')->withUser($user);
}
}
In my route I added:
Route::get('/profile/edit', 'ProfileController@show');
But when I try to load the page I get this:
I have two questions:
1: Why isn't there a form showing up with the data? As you can see the email is being loaded into the form but it displays it as text.
2. Once the data is loaded into a succesful form and the user has edited some of the data, how would I make update function to save the edited data?
