Step 1: Install Laravel & Connect Database

Now, you have to connect the laravel app to the database, hence open the .env configuration file and add the database credentials as suggested below.

Next, run below command.



php artisan breeze:install


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

npm install && npm run dev 
php artisan migrate


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 3: Create Blog Modal Migration and Controller

Run below command to create model, migration and controller

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Add boolean status and give false or 1 default value.

create_blogs_table.php



public function up()
{
    Schema::create('blogs', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('title');
        $table->text('content');
        $table->boolean('status')->default(false);
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

app/Models/Blog.php



<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Blog extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = [
        'title',
        'content',
        'status' 
    ];
}


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

web.php



Route::resource('blogs', BlogController::class);


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 4: Add Boolean value BlogController

1.Add boolean value store using 'status' => $request->status == 'on' ? 1 : 0

2.To use this method we need to use checkbox in blade file.

app/Http/Controllers/BlogController.php



<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Blog;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class BlogController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $blogs = Blog::all();

        return view('blogs.index', compact('blogs'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('blogs.create');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'content' => 'required'
        ]);

        $blog = Blog::create([
            'title' => $request->title,
            'content' => $request->content,
            'status' => $request->status == 'on' ? 1 : 0
        ]);


        return redirect()->route('blogs.index');
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show(Blog $blog)
    {
        return view('blogs.show', compact('blog'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(Blog $blog)
    {
        return view('blogs.edit', compact('blog'));
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, Blog $blog)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'content' => 'required'
        ]);

        $blog->update([
            'title' => $request->title,
            'content' => $request->content,
            'status' => $request->status == 'on' ? 1 : 0
        ]);

        return redirect()->route('blogs.index');
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy(Blog $blog)
    {
        $blog->delete();

        return redirect()->route('blogs.index');
    }
}

Step 5: Create Blade View File

Add input type checkbox to store boolean.

Use boolean value in laravel 9 with validation

1.Add boolean value with validation using 'status' => 'required|boolean:0,1,true,false'

2.To use this method we need to use radio input in blade file.
app/Http/Controllers/BlogController.php



<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Blog;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class BlogController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.

        return view('blogs.index', compact('blogs'));
    }
