Laravel 8.x Dynamically Add More Input Fields using Handlebars Js

Hello Artisan

In this tutorial i will discuss about dynamically add multiple input fields and submit to database with jquery and laravel. We can see addremove multiple input fields dynamically with jquery laravel from scratch so that we can understand easily.

You can use jQuery only to do laravel add more fields example in your application. But in this example i will use handlebars js as well as jQuery to create laravel dynamic form fields validation example.

I also validate form and then save it into database. Sometimes we need it in our application like social list field or task list etc. That situation we can create this add dynamically more then one fields with laravel jQuery and handlebars js. 

Simply in this example tutorial i will use a Task model to save form data that contains two filed. one is task_name and other is cost. Then we save it into database. See the preview of this tutorial.

database/migrations/create_task_table

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateTasksTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('tasks', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('task_name');
            $table->integer('cost');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schem

As we have to save add more input field data in our database to we need to setup our Task model.

app/Task.php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Task extends Model
{
    protected $guarded = [];

}

Step 3: Create Routes

In this is step we need to add two route for add more fields example. so open your routes/web.php file and add following route. As this is a example tutorial so i won't use any controller. I simply do it from web.php file.

routes/web.php

use App\Task;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
})->name('task');

Route::post('/',function(Request $request) {
    
    $request->validate([
       'task_name' => 'required',
       'cost' => 'required'
    ]);
    
    $count = count($request->task_name);

    for ($i=0; $i < $count; $i++) { 
	  $task = new Task();
	  $task->task_name = $request->task_name[$i];
	  $task->cost = $request->cost[$i];
	  $task->save();
    }

    return redirect()->back();
});

Step 4: Create Blade File

Now we need to show our add more field form in our welcome blade file. In this step we have to create just welcome.blade.php blade file.

So let's just create following file and put bellow code.

resources/views/welcome.blade.php
