I have an edit form with several checkboxes in Laravel. When I check the boxes and update the record, it works correctly, but if I uncheck the box it doesn't return any value so the record doesn't update and the value remains true in the database.
How can I handle unchecked checkboxes in Laravel?

Note: If a checkbox is unchecked when its form is submitted, there is no value submitted to the server to represent its unchecked state (e.g. value=unchecked ); the value is not submitted to the server at all.
The best way I can think of is using ternary and null coalesce PHP operators:
$request->checkbox ? 1 : 0 ?? 0;
This will return 1 if checked, 0 if not checked or not available.
