Answer 1

/**
 * Retrieve an old input item.
 *
 * @param  string  $key
 * @param  mixed   $default
 * @return mixed
 */
 function old($key = null, $default = null)
 {
     return app('request')->old($key, $default);
 }

old() function has 2 params. First one is from session, second one is default.

So you can use like:

<input id="nom" type="text" class="form-control" name="nom" value="{{ old('nom', $actif->nom) }}" required autofocus>
