How to Insert Multiple Rows from Form in Laravel 8

In web application development, especially when using frameworks like Laravel, one common requirement is to save multiple rows of data from a form into a database. For instance, you might have a table displaying products where users can add comments. Once the user submits the form, you want each product-comment pair to be saved in the database as a new row. In this guide, we'll walk through the steps to accomplish this in Laravel 8.

Understanding the Problem

Suppose you have a form where products are displayed from the database, but the users can only enter comments for each product. After entering comments, the goal is to save each product-comment pair to the database upon clicking the save button. However, if the existing approach results in errors like "Method Not Allowed" or fails to insert data, it indicates a need for a structured solution.

Solution Steps

We will break down the solution into simple, actionable steps to ensure we can effectively implement it. Follow these steps to make your form submit multiple rows of data smoothly.

1. Define Your HTML Form Correctly

First, let's get your HTML form structured correctly to ensure that the necessary data is sent on submission. The key is to arrange the products and comments in such a way that Laravel can interpret them properly. Modify your HTML form like this:

2. Update Your Route

Ensure that your route for handling the form submission is correctly defined in your web.php file:

3. Handling Data in the Controller

Now, in the ProdComController, you'll handle the data submission. Use the following code snippet inside the submitData method of your controller:

4. Debugging if Necessary

If you encounter any issues during the data insertion process, you can use the following code to inspect the request. This helps you understand what data is being passed to your backend:

This will dump and die the entire request data, allowing you to see the format of the data being sent. If the output doesn't match what you expect, you may need to revisit the earlier steps to ensure everything is set up correctly.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you will have a functional form that allows users to submit multiple rows of product-comment pairs effectively. The key elements include properly structuring your HTML form, ensuring the route is defined correctly, and handling the data correctly in the controller.
