How to pass id to Form Request in Laravel

Question

Im trying to update a record in the database, and im using Form Request to validate unique fields, but I cant pass the id to that Form because im just using the route like this:

Route::resource('ganado/engorde', 'GanadoController')->middleware('auth');

In my update controller:

public function update(GanadoEditFormRequest $request, $id)
{
 $bovino = Ganado::findOrFail($id);
 ...
}

This is my form request:

public function rules()
{
 return [
 'codigo_ganado' => ['required', 
 Rule::unique('ganado')
 ->ignore($this->id, 'id_ganado')
 ->where('lote_actual', $this->lote_actual)
 ->where('ganaderia', $this->ganaderia)
 ],
 ];
}

I tried to pass directly the id = "85" just to check if this "ignore" thing its working and im getting and error too=

id <> 85 instead of id = 85.

How I can ignore the current updating record the right way?

Edit:

This is my "Ganado" table:

enter image description here

• Atlas-Pio: did u used something like this url.com/ganado/engorde/85 to find your item?
• Aux1234: yeah my update controller its working fine, this is an example: http://ganaderia.test/ganado/engorde/85/edit @Atlas-Pio

Answer 1

Since i don't know how your code is look like you might wanna try this :

public function rules()
{
 $id = $this->route('id')
 // Or
 $id = $this->route('engorde') 
 return [
 'codigo_ganado' => ['required', 
 Rule::unique('ganado')
 ->ignore($id, 'id_ganado')
 ->where('lote_actual', $this->lote_actual)
 ->where('ganaderia', $this->ganaderia)
 ],
 ];
}

So base on your Ganado table your primary table is id_ganado, which laravel recognize always tables with id as primary table, so you might need to add

protected $primaryKey = 'id_ganado';

Edit : Update to ignore($id.',id_ganado')

• Aux1234: ok the second one its working and im getting the id, but still getting the unique validation message, just to check if im getting the id I removed the 'id_ganado' to get sql error that id column its unknown and here I can check that im getting the id, why still isnt working to ignore current record?
• Aux1234: Here is the error that im saying: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'id' in 'where clause' (SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from ganado where codigo_ganado = 0604 and id <> 85 and lote_actual = Lote-1 and ganaderia = VS) just to check if im getting the correct id
• Aux1234: yeah thats why i asked that later in the question, because I tried passing directly the id just to check if it was working and it was not working. Already updated the question with the table.
• Aux1234: Already have defined the primary key like that way in my model @Atlas-Pio
• Aux1234: mmm you mean with the -> after the ignore word? because thats a wrong way to put it
