How to update API resource Laravel?

enter image description hereI have used built in resource method on my routes for a particular controller to generate standard CRUD routes, but I can't figure out how to update a resource. I'm trying to create an API, so I am using App\Http\Resources, not just models. Here is the code in my controller attempting to update, but it does not work:

public function update(Request $request, Sample $sample)
{
    $sample = Sample::where('id', $request->id)->update($request->all());   
}

I'm using postman to check my routes, and I'm attempting a put request with raw updated JSON to app.dev/api/samples/1 but after putting a get request to same url I can see that values have not changed. How can I make this update work?

EDIT: Here is my api.php routes file

Route::resource('samples', 'SampleController');

in your header in postman try to input like this, i use x-www-form-urlencoded:

Key                  Value                            Description
Accept          application/json
Content-Type    application/x-www-form-urlencoded

in your body in postman try use x-www-form-urlencoded:

key         value
name        update
content     new content

You need to define column as fillable in the model so that they can be updated later. All you need to do is to add following line in Sample Model.

protected $fillable = [ 'name', 'content'];

If this still don't work, feel free to ask.

If this is a standard Laravel resource route/controller and your endpoint is api/samples/1 then your PATCH/PUT update method should look something like this:

public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
    $sample = Sample::find($id);
    $sample->update($request->all());
}

If your body is JSON then you will probably need:

$sample->update($request->json()->all());

You can write this. Hopefully this will solve your problem,

public function update(Request $request, Sample $sample)
{
    $sample = $sample->update($request->all());   
}
