i have problem with my code. I use Ajax in Laravel.
I have a database with 2 tables: jobs and timers.
In timers, I store the users’ working time.
The structure of the database is as follows:
job_id,
user_id,
status,
started,
stopped,
Ajax works OK when the record is missing from the database – the user with job_id was not found in the Timers table. However, it does not update when this record from user_id is already in the database.
My controller function:
public function timerUpdate(Request $request) {
$timer = Timer::where('job_id',$request->job_id)->where('user_id',auth()->user()->id)->first();
if($timer){
if($request->status == '0'){
$timer->update([
'stopped' => new Carbon,
]);
}else if($request->status == '1'){
$timer->update([
'stopped' => NULL,
]);
}
return json_encode(array('statusCode'=>200));
}else{
Timer::create([
'user_id' => auth()->user()->id,
'job_id' => $request->job_id,
'started' => new Carbon,
]);
return json_encode(array('statusCode'=>200));
}
}
my Ajax is run in a view by changing the checkbox. My code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
var CSRF_TOKEN = $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content');
$(document).ready(function() {
// Update record
$('.toggle-class').change(function() {
var status = $(this).prop('checked') == true ? 1 : 0;
var user_id = $(this).data('userId');
var task_id = $(this).data('id');
$.ajax({
url: '{{ route('timerUpdate') }}',
type: 'post',
data: {_token: CSRF_TOKEN,task_id: task_id,running: running},
success: function(data){
$('#message').fadeIn();
$('#message').text('Timer Updated Successfully');
setTimeout(() => {
$('#message').fadeOut();
}, 3000);
}
});
});
});
</script>
In my opinion not working problem is here:
$timer = Timer::where(‘task_id’,$request->task_id)->where(‘user_id’,auth()->user()->id)->first();
if($timer){}
If user_id and job_id was not found in the database, code working – creates a new record in the database. But not working when in database record found – function update not working. Please help. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong with my code. Is the problem in the question or maybe AJAX can be improved?

Make sure you add the following to your model
I hope it helps you. Have a good one 🙂
As I see, you have not passed job_id and status as your data from ajax to your controller and then in your controller you have used $request->job_id and $request->status. Maybe your problem is related to this.
