编辑帖子时获取选择选项

Question

I'm trying to show the selected category in the edit form But it is not showing,

My view :

   <select name="category_id" id="category_id" class="form-control{{ $errors->has('category_id') ? ' is-invalid' : '' }}">

                    {{--<option value="">Choose Category</option>--}}

                    @foreach($cat as $category)
                        <option value="{{$category->id}}">{{$category->name}}</option>

                    @endforeach
                </select>

the edit method in my PostController :

 public function edit($id)
    {
        $post = Post::findOrFail($id);
        $cat = Category::all();

        return view('admin.posts.edit',['post'=>$post,'cat'=>$cat]);
    }

I tried to put an if statement like this :

  @foreach($cat as $category)
                        <option value="{{ $category->id }}" {{$category->id == App\Category::class ? 'selected="selected"' : '' }}>{{ $category->name }}</option>

                    @endforeach

It is showing a category However it's not the selected category for the post.

HELP

Answer 1

$category->id == App\Category::class

You're comparing the id of the category with the name of the class here.

What you want to do is probably this:

$category->id == $post->category_id
