Define default values for Laravel form fields

Question

To pre-populate form field, we can add \'value\' to form field in create.blade.php:

{{ Form::text(\'title\', \'Some default title\') }}

Is ther

Answer 1

Yes, let's consider the following example:

View:

{{ Form::text('title', $title) }}

Controller:

$title = 'Some default title';
if($article) {
    $title = $article->title;
}
return View::make('user.login')->with('title', $title)

Then you will have a text-input with either Some default title or the title from $article, if $article isn't equal to false
