How to disable an input field if it has value in blade.php

Question

I am trying to disabled an input field if it has value. Somehow, it looks like this:

<input type="text" name="sex" value="{{ old('sex', $user['sex']) }}" placeholder="">

I have tried adding like:

<input type="text" name="sex" value="{{ old('sex', $user['sex']) }}" 
  disabled= {{ $user['sex'] == null ? disabled :'' }}  >

But it is not working. I am using blade.php by the way.

If you can, try this : $(documet).ready(function () { if ($(".yourInput").val() !== "") { $(".yourInput").setAttribute("disabled"); } } — Hema D., Feb 07 '19 at 07:53

Try this

  <input type="text" name="sex" value="{{ old('sex', $user['sex']) }}" {{ $user['sex'] ? '' : 'disabled' }}  >

Thanks for this. I have just added `$user['sex'] == '' ` to make it work well :) – Eem Jee Feb 07 '19 at 08:06

By disabling the field it breaks the validation rules. I would rather prefer using readonly attribute.

<input class="form-control" name="name" type="text" {{ $role->name ? 'readonly' : '' }} value="{{ old('name', $role->name) }}"  required="true" aria-required="true"/>
