I am trying to fetch value of the password field and display it in current form for one of the update pages
{{ Form::label('Password')}}
{{ Form::password('password',array('class' => 'form-control') }}
Laravel blade's password field syntax does not allow parameter for input like it does for text fields for example,
{{ Form::label('Email or Username')}}
{{ Form::text('email',$useremaildata,array('class' => 'form-control')) }}
Now I found one solution of using placeholders like that but it is not the rite way of doing it. Sharing just incase.
{{ Form::label('Password')}}
{{ Form::password('password',array('class' => 'form-control','placeholder' => $userpassworddata)) }}
Any help will be great.
The simple answer is that you don't do this. Password fields should rarely be pre-filled and so because it's not a common occurrence Laravel doesn't support it.
However, if you really want to do this you can use Form::input()
:
Form::input('password', 'name', 'value')
I think there are valid use cases for this. In my case, I am storing the password for another system, and when the user edits, I want to load the prior value from the database and fill it, so it doesn't get cleared when the user saves.
Here's a custom HTML macro that allows you to set a default value in the password field.
In start/global.php
do:
/**
* Custom macro for a masked password field with a default value
*/
HTML::macro('passwordWithDefault', function($name, $defaultValue = "", $optionsArray) {
return Form::input('password', $name, $defaultValue, $optionsArray);
});
Then in your HTML or template, you can use it like so:
HTML::passwordWithDefault('pwdField', Input::old('pwdField', $pwd_value),['class' => 'form-control'])
