ADDING RADIO BUTTON,SELECT, CHECKBOX IN REGISTRATION FIELDS: LARAVEL

Step:1 Add view for the new fields in register.blade.php
Nb: html tags for div must be put correctly, removed here to display code

<!--number -->
 div class="form-group{{ $errors->has('age') ? ' has-error' : '' }}"
 <label for="age" class="col-md-4 control-label">Age</label>

div class="col-md-6">
 <input id="age" type="number" min="1" max="120" class="form-control" name="age" value="{{ old('age') }}" autofocus>

@if ($errors->has('age'))
 <span class="help-block">
 <strong>{{ $errors->first('age') }}</strong>
 </span>
 @endif
 /div>
 /div>
<!--radiobutton -->
 div id="gender-group" class="form-group{{ $errors->has('gender') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
 <label for="gender" class="col-md-4 control-label">Gender</label>

div class="col-md-6">
 div><input id="female" type="radio"class="form-control" name="gender" value="Female" {{ (old('sex') == 'female') ? 'checked' : '' }} >Female</div>
 div><input id="male" type="radio"class="form-control" name="gender" value="Male" {{ (old('sex') == 'male') ? 'checked' : '' }} >Male</div>
 div><input id="other" type="radio"class="form-control" name="gender" value="Others" {{ (old('sex') == 'other') ? 'checked' : '' }} >Other</div>
 @if ($errors->has('gender'))
 <span class="help-block">
 <strong>{{ $errors->first('gender') }}</strong>
 </span>
 @endif
 </div>
 </div>
 
<!--select--> <div id="edu-group" class="form-group{{ $errors->has('edudetails') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
 <label for="edudetails" class="col-md-4 control-label">Education and Occupation</label>

div class="col-md-6">
 Highest-Education
 <select name="education">
 <option value="Graduate">Graduate</option>
 <option value="Plustwo">Plustwo</option>
 <option value="HighSchool">HighSchool</option>
 <option value="UpperPrimary">UpperPrimary</option>
 <option value="Primary">Primary</option>
 </select>
 <br></br>
 Occupation
 <select name="occupation">
 <option value="Student">Student</option>
 <option value="Private">Private</option>
 <option value="Government">Government</option>
 <option value="Organisation">Organisation</option>
 <option value="Freelancer">Freelancer</option>
 </select>
 
 @if ($errors->has('edudetails'))
 <span class="help-block">
 <strong>{{ $errors->first('edudetails') }}</strong>
 </span>
 @endif
 /div>
 /div>


<!--checkbox-->
 div class="form-group{{ $errors->has('sports') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
 <label for="sports" class="col-md-4 control-label">Sports</label>
 div class="col-md-6">
 <input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="Football"/> Football
 <input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="Cricket"/> Cricket
 <input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="Tennis"/> Tennis
 @if ($errors->has('sports'))
 <span class="help-block">
 <strong>{{ $errors->first('sports') }}</strong>
 </span>
 @endif
 /div>
 /div>

 Step:2 create new migration for new fields- gender,edudetails, sports

$ php artisan make:migration add_custom_field_to_users_table

Then open and edit to add the following in the newly created migrations from database/migrations/

public function up()
 {
 Schema::table('users', function(Blueprint $table){
 $table->string('gender')->after('age');
 $table->string('edudetails')->after('gender');
 $table->string('sports')->after('edudetails');

});
 }

/**
 * Reverse the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
 public function down()
 {
 Schema::table('users', function(Blueprint $table){
 $table->dropColumn('gender');
 $table->dropColumn('edudetails');
 $table->dropColumn('sports');
 });
 }

Step3: run migration to create a table in the database

php artisan migrate

Step:3 ADD VALIDATION AND CREATE THE FIELD IN registerController.php from app/Http/controllers/auth

 protected function create(array $data)
 {
 return User::create([
 'name' => $data['name'],
 'age' => $data['age'],
 'gender'=> $data['gender'],
 'edudetails'=> $data['education']." , " .$data['occupation'],
 'sports'=> implode(',',$data['check']),
 'email' => $data['email'],
 'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
 ]);
 }

AS the $data[‘check’] returns an array, theimplode() function is used to convert an array to string and every checked value will now be available in the database.

STEP 4: Update user.php from app/user.php

 protected $fillable = [
 'name','age','gender','sports','edudetails', 'email', 'password',
 ];

Now try registering and check the database
