Laravel Bootstrap Modal Submit button not working

Question

I'm crazy trying to make a modal window return the control to my view. The button type is submit but it doesn't launch the route. I've seen some tutorials and there, all I have to do for create is to define action as the route and have a submit button. I've seen that, no need of ajax, or I'm not aware when they wrote the code... I went to w3c and there at the "try it yourself" I agregated the submit button, and effectively the window is not closed. So I'm totally stuck, some help would be appreciated.

Part of my view

    <main role="main" class="col-md-9 ml-sm-auto col-lg-10 pt-3 px-4">
      <div class="d-flex justify-content-between flex-wrap flex-md-nowrap align-items-center pb-2 mb-3 border-bottom">
        <h1 class="h5">Horarios</h1>
        <div class="btn-toolbar mb-2 mb-md-0">
          <div class="btn-group mr-2">
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#create-horario">+</button>

HorarioPeriodicosController (don't get to it and is in my rotes list)

public function store(Request $request)
{
    //
    dd(1);
}

My routes list

I tryed modifying this

                  <form action="{{ route('horarioperiodicos.store')}}" method="post">
                    {{ method_field('patch')}} 

for this

                  <form action="{{ route('horarioperiodicos.store')}}" >

etc, etc.

Something rare is that even when I do changes there, It doesn't launch errors.

Thanks a lot

Answer 1

You need to place your <button> inside of the <form> element.

Otherwise the form will not be triggered to submit.

Alternatively you can place the button outside of the form, but you need to include the form= attribute that corresponds with the form's id= attribute in the button element:

<form id="myform" method="post" action="{{ route('store.create') }}">
    <input type="text" name="name" />
</form>

<input type="submit" form="myform" />
