In 3.6 version of backpack I can change an attribute value before storing it. I have this code
If ($request->description == "") {
$request->description="User has not entered any description";
}
$redirect_location = parent::storeCrud($request);
What can I do to get the same in V4? I'm reading this guide but I can't make it to work. This is what I'm trying in V4
public function store(PedidoRequest $request)
{
Log::debug('testing...');
If ($request->description == "") {
$request->description="User has not entered any description";
}
$redirect_location = $this->traitStore();
return $redirect_location;
}

The Request object in Laravel, Illuminate\Http\Request
, doesn't have the ability to set the inputs via the properties like that, no __set
method ($request->description = '...'
does not set an input named description
). You would have to merge the inputs into the request or use the array syntax to do that:
$request->merge(['description' => '...']);
// or
$request['description'] = '...';
But since backpack seems to have abstracted things apparently you aren't controlling anything in your controller methods you could try this:
$this->crud->request->request->add(['description'=> '...']);
Potentially:
$this->request->merge(['description' => '...']);
That would be assuming some trait the Controller uses is using the Fields
trait.
