Passing id from view using modal-dialog to controler

I'm using the bootstrap modal to create and update users. I manage to get the create function working but not the update. My controller works as such that if no $user->id variable is passed it will create a new user else if there is an $user->id it will update that instead. However I cant figure how to pass the $user->id to the controller as I'm using a modal dialog. Can someone help me with this? My code can be seen as below.

manage.blade.php

<button class="btn btn-sm btn-warning" type="button"
      data-toggle="modal" data-target="#form">Edit&nbsp;<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-edit"></i></button>

<button type="button" class="btn btn-info btn-md" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#form">Register New User</button>

<!-- Modal -->
<div id="form" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
    <div class="modal-dialog">

        <!-- Modal content-->
        <div class="modal-content">
           <div class="modal-header">
              <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
              <h4 class="modal-title">User Information</h4>

...

controller.php

class ManageAccountsController extends Controller
{
    public $userRepository;

    public function __construct(UserRepository $userRepository)
    {
        $this->userRepository = $userRepository;
    }

    public function index() 
    {
        $users = User::orderBy('name')->get();
        $roles = Role::all();

        return view('manage_accounts', compact('users', 'roles'));
    }

     public function store(StoreUserRequest $request)
    {
      // validation already handled using this: http://ift.tt/16ovaIn
        $this->userRepository->upsert($request);

        Session::flash('flash_message', 'User successfully added!');

        return redirect()->back();

    }

    public function update(StoreUserRequest $request, $id)
    {
        // validation already handled using this: http://ift.tt/16ovaIn
        $this->userRepository->upsert($request, $id);

        Session::flash('flash_message', 'User successfully updated!');

        return redirect()->back();

    }
}

class UserRepository {

    public function upsert($data, $id = null)
    {

            // You will also need something like this
            if(isset($data['id']))
            {
                $user = $this->user->find($data['id']);
            }
            else {
                $user = new User;
            }

            $user->name     = $data['name'];
            $user->email    = $data['email'];
            $user->password = Hash::make($data['password']);
            $user->mobile   = $data['mobile'];
            $user->role_id  = $data['role_id'];

            // save our user
            $user->save();

            return $user;
        }
    }

Laravel - 2 queries over nothing?

Hello guys,

in the official doc of Eloquent for Laravel, this is the way to make an update to a table :

$flight = App\Flight::find(1);
$flight->name = 'New Flight Name';
$flight->save();

I must say, I don't really understand that. For me, it means that for a very basic update, there will be 2 queries to the database - a select and THEN an update ?

Anyone could explain me why this would be a good solution ?

Thanks !

LARAVEL add custom method Illuminate\Cache\RedisStore

I want to extend Illuminate\Cache\RedisStore class to add a custom method where i can use JSON_encode instead of PHP Serializer before sending the data to cache servers.

I tried extending both the Redis and Cache Facades then registering the alias in App.php to load the extended facade on bootstrapping.But getting the error RedisStore doesn't implement this method.

Laravel 5 - view('test') in controllers not working as expect

I am new in Laravel. I read documentation and googling but I can't find answer for my problem.

Im trying to render a simple view test.blade.php (located at resources/views).

a) first try: in app/Http/routes.php I wrote

Route::get('/', function(){
    return view('test');
});

It's working. Hurray! I see my simple site

b) second try: in app/Http/routes.php i wrote

Route::get('/', 'WelcomeController@index');

I have created a controller WelcomeController.php in app/Http/Controllers Inside controller I wrote:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class WelcomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('test');
    }
}

And....this is not working, I see only blank page. Ok I was digging and digging and trying to understand what's the problem. I changed retun view('test') to return view()->make('test'); but this is not working too - it generates only blank page....

Then I simply changed retun to echo: echo view('test'); It is working like charm.

What am I doing wrong? all examples in the internet shows return view('..') not echo view('...') (which is ugly)...

Please help me :)

Secure and clean code in laravel 5.1

In fact i have a question about the clean of code
i try to get some value in blade file , I Am confused between two approaches i think both are right but i need to know who's clean and secure more with the reason

First approach in my blade directly using Eloquent

@foreach (Auth::user()->company->country->cities as $city) {{$city->name}} @endforeach

Second approach using Injecting Services by create this method in my model and use it in my blade using laravel 5.1 Injecting Services

 public function getCity()
{
    foreach(Auth::user()->company->country->cities as $city) {
        return $city->name ;
    }
}

Thanks For Your Time .
