checkbox - How to handle unchecked checkboxes in Laravel?

Question

I have an edit form with several checkboxes in Laravel. When I check the boxes and update the record, it works correctly, but if I uncheck the box it doesn't return any value so the record doesn't update and the value remains true in the database.

How can I handle unchecked checkboxes in Laravel?

Answer 1

Place a hidden textbox with a 0 value before the checkbox so a 0 value is sent into the POST array.

{{Form::hidden('value',0)}}
{{Form::checkbox('value')}}
