How to transfer data to a view?

[Vasiliy-Makogon]

Hey. At the first step there is a form with a select list, you need to transfer data from the database to this list. In the standard action, we will do this:

    public function create(Request $request)
    {
        return view('backend.docflow.document.create')
            ->withDocumentTypes(DocflowHelper::documentTypeTreeToSelectArray(DocumentType::getLevel()))
            ->withDocumentStatuses(DocumentStatus::all()->where('active', '=', '1')->sortBy('id'))
            ->withUsers(User::all()->sortBy('last_name, first_name'));
    }

How to do it for a step?

Because each step is injected into the view of the step, so just add the method to return the data in the step class.

For example:

The getOptions method is custom, can be changed at will.

app/Steps/User/NameStep.php

<?php

...

class NameStep extends Step
{
    ...

    public function getOptions()
    {
        return [
            'Taylor',
            'Lucas',
        ];
    }
}

resources/views/steps/user/name.blade.php

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="name">Select name</label>
    <select id="name" name="name" class="form-control{{ $errors->has('name') ? ' is-invalid' : '' }}">
        <option value="">Select...</option>
        @foreach ($step->getOptions() as $option)
            <option value="{{ $option }}" @if (old('name') ?? $step->data('name') === $option) @endif>{{ $option }}</option>
        @endforeach
    </select>

    @if ($errors->has('name'))
        <span class="invalid-feedback">{{ $errors->first('name') }}</span>
    @endif
</div>

Use your data for example:

app/Steps/Docflow/FirstStep.php

<?php

...

class FirstStep extends Step
{
    ...

    public function getDocumentTypes()
    {
        return DocflowHelper::documentTypeTreeToSelectArray(DocumentType::getLevel());
    }

    public function getDocumentStatuses()
    {
        return DocumentStatus::all()->where('active', '=', '1')->sortBy('id');
    }

    public function getUsers()
    {
        return User::all()->sortBy('last_name, first_name');
    }
}

resources/views/steps/docflow/first.blade.php

{{ $step->getDocumentTypes() }}

{{ $step->getDocumentStatuses() }}

{{ $step->getUsers() }}

Happy coding 😄 !

Great, thank you!
