Form model binding

#1

What seems to be the problem:
This is my very first livewire form and I have an issue using model binding. I have a one-to-many polymorphic relation on this model. I am editing a piece of content that can be either an article, a poll, an activity, …
I pass the content model to livewire, collect the extra data in livewire, and expect the fields to populate using the model binding syntax but the fields stay blank.

Steps to Reproduce:

Are you using the latest version of Livewire:
version 2.2

Do you have any screenshots or code examples:

This is what I currently have for the form to work

public function mount($action, $content)
{
	$this->current_user = auth()->user();
	$this->content = $content;
	if ($action == 'edit')
	{
		$this->title = $this->content->contentable->title;
		$this->lead = $this->content->contentable->lead;
		$this->body = $this->content->contentable->body;
	}
}

{!! Form::text('title', null, array('placeholder' => 'Title','class' => 'form-control', 'maxlength' => 255, 'wire:model.lazy' => 'title')) !!}

If I change the mount function to the code below, it does not work

public function mount($action, $content)
{
	$this->current_user = auth()->user();
	$this->content = $content->contentable;

How to fix this?

Have you declared those public fields? (title, lead, body)
Actually this code bit can be replaced with $this->fill($this->content->contentable);

And minor thing - you do not need to store current user to public field.It is always available through the Auth.

Yes the field have been declared public

public $title, $lead, $body;

The fill function worked. Thanks for that

However I am unable to access the Auth facade in my store function.

public function store()
{
    dd(Auth::id());

It returns null

This is very strange, because inside the Livewire action calls Laravel is initialized in a same way as in the mount() function. Auth should be available.

#5

I am able to access the Auth facade in the mount function but nowhere else…
Would it help if was to attach all the code in the livewire file?

#6

Fixed it.
I have an admin guard. so

Auth::guard('admin')->user()

fixed it.

Many thanks
