Handling multiple forms on a single page

Question

I have a page with a select option

<div class="col-md-7">
    <select class="selection" name="selection">
        <option value="ab">Form One</option>
        <option value="ad">Form Two</option>
        <option value="nq">Form Three</option>
    </select>
</div>

<div id="content"></div>

For my JQuery, I just listen for the change

$(".selection").on("change", function(e){
    if($(this).val() == "ad"){
        $("#content").append(data);
    }
});

Now where this blade template lives (resources/views/customer), I have created a forms folder. In this folder are form1.blade.php and two more templates for the other forms.

How would I go about added the form template into the div with the id content?

Or is there a better way of handling multiple forms for a single page?

Answer 1

Suppose, you have two forms like this:

View :

<form action="/url" method="post">
    <input name="some_field" value="1">
    <button type="submit" name="form1">Submit 1</button>
</form>
<form action="/url" method="post">
    <input name="some_field" value="1">
    <button type="submit" name="form2">Submit 2</button>
</form>

Now in Controller :

if ($request->has('form1')) {
    //handle form1
}

if ($request->has('form2')) {
    //handle form2
}

Answer 2

Assign values to submit and check to see if $request->has() the value. Then use logic inside the controller.
