Checkboxes and relationships about html

[robgridley]

I was able to get form model binding working with my belongs to many and many to many relationships by doing the following:

1. Eager load the relationships in my controller.
2. Extend FormBuilder and override one method:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection;
use Collective\Html\FormBuilder as CollectiveFormBuilder;

class FormBuilder extends CollectiveFormBuilder
{
    protected function getModelValueAttribute($name)
    {
        $value = parent::getModelValueAttribute($name);

        return ($value instanceof Collection) ? $value->modelKeys() : $value;
    }

@robgridley thanks for sharing your solution! :) 👍

I've extended the Collective as described here: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/best-way-to-overwrite-option-method-from-laravel-5-formbuilder-class

👍 thanks for the solution @robgridley , I expect the same behavior as mentioned by @agentphoenix

@adamgoose will this fix (or a similar fix) be merged into the repository or is the expectation that individuals will need to extend the getModelValueAttribute method ourselves to get form model binding working?

[adamgoose]

Yes, it was fixed in #45
