Laravel 7 assigning foreignID using request->route('id)? - mysql

Question

I'm trying to submit a form to a store function. The problem is, the foreignKey (degree_id) keeps being set to ?(null) even though I set it to the id in the route.
Form:
{!! Form::open(['url' => 'degrees/{{ $Degree->id }}', 'method' => 'POST']) !!}
<div class="form-group">
{{Form::label('title', 'Title')}}
<br>
{{Form::text('title', '', ['class' => 'form-control', 'placeholder' => 'Title'])}}
</div>
#error('title')
<small class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</small>
#enderror
Route:
Route::post('degrees/{degree}', 'ModuleController#store');
Store function:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'title' => 'required',
'desc' => 'required',
'long_desc' => 'required',
'hours' => 'required',
'credits'=> 'required',
]);
$module = new Module;
$module->title = $request->input('title');
$module->desc = $request->input('desc');
$module->long_desc = $request->input('long_desc');
$module->hours = $request->input('hours');
$module->credits = $request->input('credits');
$module->degree_id = $request->route('id');
$module->save();
return redirect('/home/modules');
}
I've since set the degree_id to nullable, so I can create my module and have it display alright, but for future functionality I'd like it to be set to the degree_id. Any idea whats not working here? I do have model-relationships set up, but I can't see how that'd impact it. Maybe something in the route itself?

Answer 1

You can't use Blade Mustache inside a php element, use this instead:
{!! Form::open(['url' => 'degrees/' . $Degree->id , 'method' => 'POST']) !!}

Answer 2

Your route parameter is not named id, you declared it in your route definition as the name degree ('degrees/{degree}').
$request->route('degree');

Answer 3

Change route from
Route::post('degrees/{degree}', 'ModuleController#store');
TO
Route::post('degrees/{id}', 'ModuleController#store');
