Laravel : Prompt before deleting a user

Question

I am successfully deleting records in my table using the code below. My only problem, I want it to prompt the user to confirm the action before deleting.

{{link_to_route('individualprofiles.edit', 'Edit', array($ip->id))}}
{{Form::open(array( 'route' => array( 'individualprofiles.destroy', $ip->id ), 'method' => 'delete', 'style' => 'display:inline'))}}
     {{Form::submit('D', array('class' => 'btn btn-danger'))}}
{{Form::close()}}

You may try something like this:

STEP – 1

First of all, you need to add bootstrap.css file using a link tag, jQuery and bootstrap.js file using a script tag in your head section of your web page. On bootstrap’s website, you would find details about this. It’s also possible to build a customized file with selected components from here if you don’t want to use full bootstrap framework.

STEP – 2

Add following html code in a file and save it as a separate file, for example delete_confirm.php

<!-- Modal Dialog -->
<div class="modal fade" id="confirmDelete" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="confirmDeleteLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
        <h4 class="modal-title">Delete Parmanently</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <p>Are you sure about this ?</p>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" id="confirm">Delete</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Also, paste following JavaScript code in the same file as well

<!-- Dialog show event handler -->
  $('#confirmDelete').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
      $message = $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-message');
      $(this).find('.modal-body p').text($message);
      $title = $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-title');
      $(this).find('.modal-title').text($title);

      // Pass form reference to modal for submission on yes/ok
      var form = $(e.relatedTarget).closest('form');
      $(this).find('.modal-footer #confirm').data('form', form);
  });

  <!-- Form confirm (yes/ok) handler, submits form -->
  $('#confirmDelete').find('.modal-footer #confirm').on('click', function(){
      $(this).data('form').submit();
  });

STEP – 3

Now, in any page where you want to use this confirm modal dialog, just include it using require_once or include_once like:

// other code
require_once('delete_confirm.php');

STEP – 4

To build a delete action button you may use something like this:

<form method="POST" action="http://example.com/admin/user/delete/12" accept-charset="UTF-8" style="display:inline">
    <button class="btn btn-xs btn-danger" type="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#confirmDelete" data-title="Delete User" data-message="Are you sure you want to delete this user ?">
        <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></i> Delete
    </button>
</form>

By using 'onsubmit' => "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?')" inside Form::open.

{{Form::open(array( 
    'route' => array( 'individualprofiles.destroy', $ip->id ), 
    'method' => 'delete', 
    'style' => 'display:inline',
    'onsubmit' => "return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete?')",
))}}
     {{Form::submit('D', array('class' => 'btn btn-danger'))}}
{{Form::close()}}
