Assistant
Here’s a 3-step form implementation for your Laravel `create.blade.php` template. This includes:
– Step 1: Survey creation (saved immediately to DB).
– Step 2: Pillars (based on created survey).
– Step 3: Questions (based on selected pillar).

### ✅ **Controller: SurveyController.php**

use AppModelsSurvey;
use AppModelsPiller;
use AppModelsQuestion;
use IlluminateHttpRequest;

public function create()
{
    return view('surveys.create');
}

public function storeSurvey(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
        'options' => 'nullable|array',
    ]);

    $survey = Survey::create([
        'name' => $request->name,
    ]);

    return response()->json(['survey_id' => $survey->id]);
}

public function storePiller(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'survey_id' => 'required|exists:surveys,id',
        'title_en' => 'required|string',
        'title_de' => 'required|string',
        'weight' => 'required|numeric',
        'position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    $piller = Piller::create([
        'survey_id' => $request->survey_id,
        'title_en' => $request->title_en,
        'title_de' => $request->title_de,
        'weight' => $request->weight,
        'position' => $request->position,
    ]);

    return response()->json(['piller_id' => $piller->id]);
}

public function storeQuestion(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'piller_id' => 'required|exists:pillars,id',
        'title_en' => 'required|string',
        'title_de' => 'required|string',
        'position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    $question = Question::create([
        'piller_id' => $request->piller_id,
        'title_en' => $request->title_en,
        'title_de' => $request->title_de,
        'position' => $request->position,
    ]);

    return response()->json(['success' => true]);
}

### ✅ **Web Routes (routes/web.php)**

use AppHttpControllersSurveyController;

Route::get('/surveys/create', [SurveyController::class, 'create'])->name('surveys.create');
Route::post('/surveys/store-survey', [SurveyController::class, 'storeSurvey'])->name('surveys.storeSurvey');
Route::post('/surveys/store-piller', [SurveyController::class, 'storePiller'])->name('surveys.storePiller');
Route::post('/surveys/store-question', [SurveyController::class, 'storeQuestion'])->name('surveys.storeQuestion');

### ✅ **Migration Notes (language support)**

For `pillars` and `questions` tables, make sure fields are like:

$table->string('title_en');
$table->string('title_de');

Let me know if you want to dynamically switch fields based on current locale (e.g. `app()->getLocale()`).

Want to enhance it with step indicators or validation messages?

User
we have bootstrap 4 make tab
Assistant
Great! Here's how to create a **3-step form with Bootstrap 4 tabs** for your Laravel `create.blade.php` view. It integrates with Vue.js to handle AJAX form submissions and ensures that:

– You **can't go to Pillers** unless the Survey is saved.
– You **can't go to Questions** unless a Piller is saved.

### ✅ **Blade View: `resources/views/surveys/create.blade.php`**

### ✅ Tip for Bootstrap 4 Tabs
Bootstrap 4 marks disabled tabs using `.disabled` class only visually — users can still click them. To enforce logic, Vue controls tab access via `goToStep()`.

### ✅ Routes Example

Route::get('/surveys/create', [SurveyController::class, 'create'])->name('surveys.create');
Route::post('/surveys/store-survey', [SurveyController::class, 'storeSurvey'])->name('surveys.storeSurvey');
Route::post('/surveys/store-piller', [SurveyController::class, 'storePiller'])->name('surveys.storePiller');
Route::post('/surveys/store-question', [SurveyController::class, 'storeQuestion'])->name('surveys.storeQuestion');

Let me know if you also want to:
– Add step validation with error display
– Allow adding **multiple** pillers/questions in one session
– Prefill dropdowns via AJAX

User
add validation on survey form name field
Assistant
To add validation to the **Survey name** field (in Step 1) using **Vue + Bootstrap 4**, here’s how you can do it:

### ✅ 1. **Add Validation State in Vue**
Update your Vue data to include a validation error:

data: {
    step: 1,
    survey: {
        name: '',
        options: [],
    },
    surveyError: '',
    // ... rest
}

### ✅ 2. **Update Survey Form HTML**
Update the form group for name input to show error state:

<div class="form-group">
    <label>Name</label>
    <input v-model="survey.name" class="form-control" :class="{ 'is-invalid': surveyError }" placeholder="Survey Name">
    <div class="invalid-feedback" v-if="surveyError">
        @{{ surveyError }}
    </div>
</div>

### ✅ 3. **Update submitSurvey() to Include Validation**

submitSurvey() {
    this.surveyError = '';

    if (!this.survey.name) {
        this.surveyError = 'Survey name is required.';
        return;
    }

    fetch("{{ route('surveys.storeSurvey') }}", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(this.survey)
    })
    .then(res => {
        if (!res.ok) throw res;
        return res.json();
    })
    .then(data => {
        this.survey_id = data.survey_id;
        this.step = 2;
    })
    .catch(async (err) => {
        if (err.status === 422) {
            const errorData = await err.json();
            this.surveyError = errorData.errors.name ? errorData.errors.name[0] : 'Invalid input';
        } else {
            this.surveyError = 'An unexpected error occurred.';
        }
    });
}

### ✅ 4. **Controller Validation (Already Added)**
Make sure this exists in your controller:

$request->validate([
    'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
]);

Now if the name field is empty, it’ll:
– Show a red border with Bootstrap 4's `.is-invalid`
– Display the error message below the input

Let me know if you want to show alerts or toast messages instead!

User
add sweet alert before goto step 2 if saved successfully
Assistant
To show a **SweetAlert confirmation before proceeding to Step 2** after successfully saving the **Survey**, follow these steps:

### ✅ 1. **Include SweetAlert2 CDN**

Add this to your `create.blade.php` (within `@push('scripts')` or directly before “):

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sweetalert2@11"></script>

### ✅ 2. **Update `submitSurvey()` Method**

Replace your existing `submitSurvey()` with this version that shows a SweetAlert success message:

submitSurvey() {
    this.surveyError = '';

    if (!this.survey.name) {
        this.surveyError = 'Survey name is required.';
        return;
    }

    fetch("{{ route('surveys.storeSurvey') }}", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(this.survey)
    })
    .then(res => {
        if (!res.ok) throw res;
        return res.json();
    })
    .then(data => {
        this.survey_id = data.survey_id;

        // Show SweetAlert and move to step 2 on confirmation
        Swal.fire({
            title: 'Survey Created!',
            text: 'Do you want to continue to Pillers?',
            icon: 'success',
            showCancelButton: true,
            confirmButtonText: 'Yes, proceed',
            cancelButtonText: 'No'
        }).then((result) => {
            if (result.isConfirmed) {
                this.step = 2;
            }
        });
    })
    .catch(async (err) => {
        if (err.status === 422) {
            const errorData = await err.json();
            this.surveyError = errorData.errors.name ? errorData.errors.name[0] : 'Invalid input';
        } else {
            this.surveyError = 'An unexpected error occurred.';
        }
    });
}

### ✅ Result:
– Survey will be saved via AJAX.
– If successful, a SweetAlert2 modal will pop up.
– On "Yes, proceed", the user is taken to **Step 2** (Pillers).

Let me know if you want a similar confirmation before **Step 3** too!

User
just alet not to ask for proceed
Assistant
Got it — you just want to **show a success alert** after saving the survey, without asking for confirmation to proceed.

### ✅ Use SweetAlert for Info Only

Update your `submitSurvey()` like this:

submitSurvey() {
    this.surveyError = '';

    if (!this.survey.name) {
        this.surveyError = 'Survey name is required.';
        return;
    }

    fetch("{{ route('surveys.storeSurvey') }}", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(this.survey)
    })
    .then(res => {
        if (!res.ok) throw res;
        return res.json();
    })
    .then(data => {
        this.survey_id = data.survey_id;

        // Show success alert and move directly to step 2
        Swal.fire({
            icon: 'success',
            title: 'Survey saved successfully!',
            showConfirmButton: false,
            timer: 1500
        });

        this.step = 2;
    })
    .catch(async (err) => {
        if (err.status === 422) {
            const errorData = await err.json();
            this.surveyError = errorData.errors.name ? errorData.errors.name[0] : 'Invalid input';
        } else {
            this.surveyError = 'An unexpected error occurred.';
        }
    });
}

### ✅ Result:
– If the survey saves successfully:
– A SweetAlert success message pops up briefly.
– It auto-hides after 1.5 seconds.
– User is taken to **Step 2** automatically.

Let me know if you want to do the same for Pillers or Questions too!

User
we have 3 columns for checkboxes
{{ __('Allow comments on Survey') }}
{{ __('Allow comments on Pillers') }}
{{ __('Mark as External') }}

and have 3 colunmns in survey table

User
save 1 to each column if its checked
Assistant
To save each checkbox state (as `1` if checked, or `0` if not) into separate columns in the `surveys` table (e.g., `allow_comments`, `allow_comments_on_pillers`, `mark_as_external`), follow these steps:

### ✅ 1. **Database Migration**

Make sure your `surveys` table migration includes these boolean fields:

$table->boolean('allow_comments')->default(false);
$table->boolean('allow_comments_on_pillers')->default(false);
$table->boolean('mark_as_external')->default(false);

### ✅ 2. **Update Blade Checkbox Code (No change needed)**
You're already using this:

<label><input type="checkbox" v-model="survey.options" value="allow_comments">{{ __('Allow comments on Survey') }}</label><br>
<label><input type="checkbox" v-model="survey.options" value="allow_comments_on_pillers">{{ __('Allow comments on Pillers') }}</label><br>
<label><input type="checkbox" v-model="survey.options" value="mark_as_external">{{ __('Mark as External') }}</label><br>

This binds `survey.options` as an array like:

['allow_comments', 'mark_as_external'] // based on what’s checked

### ✅ 3. **Vue: Before Submit, Map to Flags**

Update your `submitSurvey()` method to convert the options array into individual boolean fields:

submitSurvey() {
    this.surveyError = '';

    if (!this.survey.name) {
        this.surveyError = 'Survey name is required.';
        return;
    }

    // Convert options to individual fields
    const data = {
        name: this.survey.name,
        allow_comments: this.survey.options.includes('allow_comments') ? 1 : 0,
        allow_comments_on_pillers: this.survey.options.includes('allow_comments_on_pillers') ? 1 : 0,
        mark_as_external: this.survey.options.includes('mark_as_external') ? 1 : 0,
    };

    fetch("{{ route('surveys.storeSurvey') }}", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(data)
    })
    .then(res => {
        if (!res.ok) throw res;
        return res.json();
    })
    .then(data => {
        this.survey_id = data.survey_id;
        this.step = 2;
    })
    .catch(async (err) => {
        if (err.status === 422) {
            const errorData = await err.json();
            this.surveyError = errorData.errors.name ? errorData.errors.name[0] : 'Invalid input';
        } else {
            this.surveyError = 'An unexpected error occurred.';
        }
    });
}

### ✅ 4. **SurveyController Update**

Update the `storeSurvey` method to accept these fields:

public function storeSurvey(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
    ]);

    $survey = Survey::create([
        'name' => $request->name,
        'allow_comments' => $request->allow_comments ?? 0,
        'allow_comments_on_pillers' => $request->allow_comments_on_pillers ?? 0,
        'mark_as_external' => $request->mark_as_external ?? 0,
    ]);

    return response()->json(['survey_id' => $survey->id]);
}

Let me know if you also want to **edit** this form later with pre-checked boxes based on the saved values!

User
$request->validate([
'name' => 'required|string|max:255|unique:Surveys,name',
]);
$survey = Survey::create([
'name' => $request->name,
'allow_comments_survey' => $request->allow_comments ?? 0,
'allow_comments_on_pillers' => $request->allow_comments_on_pillers ?? 0,
'external' => $request->mark_as_external ?? 0,
]);
return response()->json(['survey_id' => $survey->id]);
use try catch and unique name chekck if validation fails then show proper message in sweet alert
Assistant
Here’s how to wrap your Laravel validation and creation logic in a `try…catch` block and return a **clear SweetAlert-friendly JSON message** when the survey name is **not unique** or other validation fails:

### ✅ **Controller Method with Try-Catch & JSON Error Response**

use IlluminateValidationValidationException;
use IlluminateDatabaseQueryException;

public function storeSurvey(Request $request)
{
    try {
        $request->validate([
            'name' => 'required|string|max:255|unique:surveys,name',
        ]);

        $survey = Survey::create([
            'name' => $request->name,
            'allow_comments_survey' => $request->allow_comments ?? 0,
            'allow_comments_on_pillers' => $request->allow_comments_on_pillers ?? 0,
            'external' => $request->mark_as_external ?? 0,
        ]);

        return response()->json([
            'success' => true,
            'survey_id' => $survey->id
        ]);
    } catch (ValidationException $e) {
        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => $e->validator->errors()->first('name') // or use ->all() for all messages
        ], 422);
    } catch (QueryException $e) {
        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'A database error occurred. Please try again.'
        ], 500);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'Unexpected error: ' . $e->getMessage()
        ], 500);
    }
}

### ✅ **Vue: SweetAlert Display on Error**

Use SweetAlert2 (include it via CDN or already in your project):

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/sweetalert2@11"></script>

Update your `submitSurvey()` method in Vue:

submitSurvey() {
    this.surveyError = '';

    if (!this.survey.name) {
        this.surveyError = 'Survey name is required.';
        return;
    }

    const data = {
        name: this.survey.name,
        allow_comments: this.survey.options.includes('allow_comments') ? 1 : 0,
        allow_comments_on_pillers: this.survey.options.includes('allow_comments_on_pillers') ? 1 : 0,
        mark_as_external: this.survey.options.includes('mark_as_external') ? 1 : 0,
    };

    fetch("{{ route('surveys.storeSurvey') }}", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(data)
    })
    .then(res => res.json().then(json => ({ status: res.status, body: json })))
    .then(({ status, body }) => {
        if (status === 200 && body.success) {
            this.survey_id = body.survey_id;
            this.step = 2;
        } else {
            Swal.fire({
                icon: 'error',
                title: 'Validation Error',
                text: body.message || 'Please check your input.'
            });
        }
    })
    .catch(err => {
        Swal.fire({
            icon: 'error',
            title: 'Unexpected Error',
            text: 'Something went wrong while saving the survey.'
        });
    });
}

### ✅ Result
– If the name is not unique, the user sees a SweetAlert with `Validation Error`.
– Any unexpected issue will trigger a general error alert.
– Backend is safe with fallback exception handling.

Let me know if you want to also handle form-wide validation errors (not just `name`) or support inline feedback as well.

User
Unexpected error: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'db.Surveys' doesn't exist (Connection: mariadb, SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from `Surveys` where `name` = test 1)
we have surveys sin small letter
Assistant
The error you're seeing:

SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'db.Surveys' doesn't exist

…is happening because in your validation rule, you’ve written:

'unique:Surveys,name'

This incorrectly uses a capital **`S`** in `Surveys`, but your actual table name is lowercase: `surveys`.

### ✅ ✅ **Fix it like this:**

Update the validation rule to use lowercase:

$request->validate([
    'name' => 'required|string|max:255|unique:surveys,name',
]);

### ✅ Why this matters:
Table names in **MySQL/MariaDB on Linux** are **case-sensitive by default**, unlike Windows.

So:
– ✅ `surveys` → correct
– ❌ `Surveys` → will not be found

After fixing the case, the validation should work without throwing a SQL error.

Let me know if you want to also enforce lowercase model table names globally via `$table` property on your model.

User

Save and Next

little bit change in second step
we need multiple piller with add more piller
also we have langauge table in db and want to create title boxes based in that table data and validate before submit

Assistant
User wants to allow multiple Pillers to be added in step 2 of their Laravel Vue.js multi-step form, with dynamic title fields generated based on entries in a `languages` table.
Assistant
Great! Here's how you can update **Step 2 (Piller step)** to:

1. Add **multiple Pillers** using an "Add More" button.
2. Dynamically generate `title` fields **per language** from your `languages` table.
3. Validate each Piller before submission.

### ✅ 1. **Pass Language List from Laravel to Blade**

In your `SurveyController@create()`:

use AppModelsLanguage;

public function create()
{
    $languages = Language::all(); // ['id', 'code', 'name']
    return view('surveys.create', compact('languages'));
}

In Blade:

<script>
    window.availableLanguages = @json($languages);
</script>

### ✅ 2. **Vue Setup for Multiple Pillers**

Update your Vue `data`:

data: {
    step: 2,
    survey_id: null,
    pillers: [
        {
            titles: {},  // {'en': '', 'de': '', ...}
            weight: '',
            position: ''
        }
    ],
    availableLanguages: window.availableLanguages,
}

### ✅ 3. **Updated Step 2 Markup**

<div v-if="step === 2">
    <h4>Add Pillers</h4>
    <div v-for="(piller, index) in pillers" :key="index" class="border p-3 mb-3">
        <h5>Piller @{{ index + 1 }}</h5>

        <div v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code" class="form-group">
            <label>Title (@{{ lang.name }})</label>
            <input type="text" v-model="piller.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control" :placeholder="`Title in ${lang.name}`">
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            <label>Weight</label>
            <input type="number" v-model="piller.weight" class="form-control">
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            <label>Position</label>
            <input type="number" v-model="piller.position" class="form-control">
        </div>

        <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" @click="removePiller(index)" v-if="pillers.length > 1">Remove</button>
    </div>

    <button class="btn btn-secondary" @click="addPiller">Add More Pillers</button>
    <button class="btn btn-primary ml-2" @click="submitPillers">Save and Next</button>
</div>

### ✅ 4. **Vue Methods**

methods: {
    addPiller() {
        const newPiller = {
            titles: {},
            weight: '',
            position: ''
        };
        this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
            newPiller.titles[lang.code] = '';
        });
        this.pillers.push(newPiller);
    },
    removePiller(index) {
        this.pillers.splice(index, 1);
    },
    submitPillers() {
        // Validate
        for (let [i, piller] of this.pillers.entries()) {
            for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
                if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
                    Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Title required for ${lang.name}`, 'error');
                    return;
                }
            }
            if (!piller.weight || !piller.position) {
                Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Weight and Position are required`, 'error');
                return;
            }
        }

        // Submit each piller
        const requests = this.pillers.map(piller => {
            return fetch("{{ route('surveys.storePiller') }}", {
                method: "POST",
                headers: {
                    "Content-Type": "application/json",
                    "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
                },
                body: JSON.stringify({
                    survey_id: this.survey_id,
                    titles: piller.titles,
                    weight: piller.weight,
                    position: piller.position
                })
            }).then(res => res.json());
        });

        Promise.all(requests).then(results => {
            this.piller_ids = results.map(r => r.piller_id);
            this.step = 3;
        }).catch(() => {
            Swal.fire('Error', 'Failed to save one or more Pillers.', 'error');
        });
    }
}

### ✅ 5. **Backend Controller for `storePiller`**

Update to accept `titles` as an array:

public function storePiller(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'survey_id' => 'required|exists:surveys,id',
        'titles' => 'required|array',
        'titles.en' => 'required|string',
        'titles.de' => 'required|string',
        'weight' => 'required|numeric',
        'position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    $piller = Piller::create([
        'survey_id' => $request->survey_id,
        'weight' => $request->weight,
        'position' => $request->position,
    ]);

    foreach ($request->titles as $lang => $title) {
        $piller->translations()->create([
            'language_code' => $lang,
            'title' => $title,
        ]);
    }

    return response()->json(['piller_id' => $piller->id]);
}

Let me know if you're using a `piller_translations` table or storing multilingual fields in the same row — I’ll adjust accordingly.

above has some erro after above changes step1 selected and we can go to step3

Assistant
You're right — the current Vue logic allows moving to **step 3** even before Pillers are saved to the database. Also, your `submitPiller()` is not sending data to the backend anymore and not linking Pillers to the survey. Let’s correct that:

### ✅ **Fixes to Apply:**

#### 1. ✅ **Prevent Step 3 Access Until Pillers Are Saved**
Update the step navigation condition in the `goToStep` method:

goToStep(step) {
  if (step === 2 && !this.survey_id) return;
  if (step === 3 && this.pillers.every(p => !p.id)) return; // prevent if no saved piller has ID
  this.step = step;
}

#### 2. ✅ **Fix `submitPiller()` to:**
– Validate titles, weight, position.
– Send each piller to Laravel backend.
– Save and store returned `piller_id`.
– Move to step 3 only if successful.

#### 🛠 Updated `submitPillers()` Method:

submitPillers() {
  // Validate
  for (let [i, piller] of this.pillers.entries()) {
    for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
      if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
        Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Title required for ${lang.name}`, 'error');
        return;
      }
    }
    if (!piller.weight || !piller.position) {
      Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Weight and Position are required`, 'error');
      return;
    }
  }

  // Submit all pillers
  const requests = this.pillers.map(piller => {
    return fetch("{{ route('admin.pillers.store') }}", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        survey_id: this.survey_id,
        titles: piller.titles,
        weight: piller.weight,
        position: piller.position
      })
    })
    .then(res => res.json());
  });

  Promise.all(requests).then(results => {
    // Update pillers with IDs
    results.forEach((result, index) => {
      if (result.piller_id) {
        this.pillers[index].id = result.piller_id;
      }
    });
    this.step = 3;
  }).catch(() => {
    Swal.fire('Error', 'One or more pillers failed to save.', 'error');
  });
}

#### 3. ✅ **Update Step 2 Buttons**
Replace `submitPiller()` call in your Blade template with:

<button class="btn btn-primary ml-2" @click="submitPillers">Save and Next</button>

This ensures you trigger the correct logic to save all pillers and assign their IDs.

#### 4. ✅ **Backend Route Example**
Make sure you have this route and controller method:

// routes/web.php
Route::post('/admin/pillers/store', [AdminPillerController::class, 'store'])->name('admin.pillers.store');
// AdminPillerController.php
public function store(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'survey_id' => 'required|exists:surveys,id',
        'titles' => 'required|array',
        'titles.en' => 'required|string',
        'titles.de' => 'required|string',
        'weight' => 'required|numeric',
        'position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    $piller = Piller::create([
        'survey_id' => $request->survey_id,
        'weight' => $request->weight,
        'position' => $request->position,
    ]);

    foreach ($request->titles as $lang => $title) {
        $piller->translations()->create([
            'language_code' => $lang,
            'title' => $title,
        ]);
    }

    return response()->json(['piller_id' => $piller->id]);
}

Let me know if you want to:
– Add title preview in the dropdown on step 3.
– Support editing pillers after saving.
– Store `title_en`, `title_de` in the main table instead of translations.

add more piller option and based on dynamic laguange from databse titles

Assistant
To enhance your Step 2 for:
– ✅ Adding **multiple Pillers** dynamically using “Add More”
– ✅ Creating **title fields dynamically** based on languages from DB (like EN, DE, etc.)

Here’s the updated implementation with clean changes to your Blade + Vue code:

### ✅ Step-by-Step Updates

### ✅ 1. **Pass Languages to Blade**

In your controller:

public function create()
{
    $languages = Language::select('code', 'name')->get(); // ['en' => 'English', 'de' => 'Deutsch']
    return view('admin.surveys.create', compact('languages'));
}

In Blade:

<script>
    window.availableLanguages = @json($languages);
</script>

### ✅ 2. **Blade – Step 2 UI Update**

Replace your Step 2 HTML block with this:

<!-- Step 2 -->
<div v-if="step === 2">
    <h4>Add Pillers</h4>

    <div v-for="(piller, index) in pillers" :key="index" class="border p-3 mb-3">
        <h5>Piller @{{ index + 1 }}</h5>

        <div v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code" class="form-group">
            <label>Title (@{{ lang.name }})</label>
            <input type="text" v-model="piller.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control" :placeholder="`Enter title in ${lang.name}`">
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            <label>Weight</label>
            <input type="number" v-model="piller.weight" class="form-control">
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            <label>Position</label>
            <input type="number" v-model="piller.position" class="form-control">
        </div>

        <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" @click="removePiller(index)" v-if="pillers.length > 1">Remove</button>
    </div>

    <button class="btn btn-secondary" @click="addPiller">Add More Pillers</button>
    <button class="btn btn-primary ml-2" @click="submitPillers">Save and Next</button>
</div>

### ✅ 3. **Vue Data + Methods Update**

Update your `data()` and `methods` in Vue:

data() {
  return {
    step: 1,
    message: '',
    survey: {
      name: '',
      options: []
    },
    surveyError: '',
    survey_id: null,
    availableLanguages: window.availableLanguages || [],
    pillers: [
      {
        titles: {}, // dynamically assigned
        weight: '',
        position: ''
      }
    ],
    question: {
      piller_id: '',
      title_en: '',
      title_de: '',
      position: ''
    }
  }
},
mounted() {
  // Init first piller titles
  this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
    this.pillers[0].titles[lang.code] = '';
  });
},
methods: {
  goToStep(step) {
    if (step === 2 && !this.survey_id) return;
    if (step === 3 && this.pillers.every(p => !p.id)) return;
    this.step = step;
  },
  addPiller() {
    const newPiller = {
      titles: {},
      weight: '',
      position: ''
    };
    this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
      newPiller.titles[lang.code] = '';
    });
    this.pillers.push(newPiller);
  },
  removePiller(index) {
    this.pillers.splice(index, 1);
  },
  submitPillers() {
    for (let [i, piller] of this.pillers.entries()) {
      for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
        if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
          Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Title required for ${lang.name}`, 'error');
          return;
        }
      }
      if (!piller.weight || !piller.position) {
        Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Weight and Position are required`, 'error');
        return;
      }
    }

    const requests = this.pillers.map(piller => {
      return fetch("{{ route('admin.pillers.store') }}", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
          "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
          survey_id: this.survey_id,
          titles: piller.titles,
          weight: piller.weight,
          position: piller.position
        })
      }).then(res => res.json());
    });

    Promise.all(requests).then(results => {
      results.forEach((result, index) => {
        if (result.piller_id) {
          this.pillers[index].id = result.piller_id;
        }
      });
      this.step = 3;
    }).catch(() => {
      Swal.fire('Error', 'One or more Pillers failed to save.', 'error');
    });
  },
  submitSurvey() {
    // Already good – no change here
  },
  submitQuestion() {
    this.message = 'Question added!';
    this.question = { piller_id: '', title_en: '', title_de: '', position: '' };
  }
}

### ✅ 4. **Backend Controller Example**

In `AdminPillerController@store`:

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'survey_id' => 'required|exists:surveys,id',
        'titles' => 'required|array',
        'titles.en' => 'required|string',
        'titles.de' => 'required|string',
        'weight' => 'required|numeric',
        'position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    $piller = Piller::create([
        'survey_id' => $request->survey_id,
        'weight' => $request->weight,
        'position' => $request->position,
    ]);

    foreach ($request->titles as $lang => $title) {
        $piller->translations()->create([
            'language_code' => $lang,
            'title' => $title,
        ]);
    }

    return response()->json(['piller_id' => $piller->id]);
}

Let me know if your project:
– Stores title translations in the same table (one row per piller), or
– Uses a `piller_translations` table

I’ll adapt the backend structure accordingly.

User
Title (@{{ lang.name }})

this is empty even availableLanguages has values lang.name is empty also lang.code

Assistant
If `availableLanguages` has values but `lang.name` and `lang.code` are `undefined` or empty in your Vue template, it’s likely because the structure of the `availableLanguages` array isn't as expected (i.e., objects with `code` and `name` keys).

Let’s debug and fix this:

### ✅ 1. **Check Data in Controller**

In your controller, ensure you're sending the correct structure:

$languages = AppModelsLanguage::select('code', 'name')->get(); // code = 'en', name = 'English'
return view('admin.surveys.create', compact('languages'));

### ✅ 2. **Pass to Blade as JSON**

Ensure it's assigned correctly in the Blade view:

<script>
    window.availableLanguages = @json($languages);
</script>

### ✅ 3. **Inspect in Browser DevTools**

In your browser console, run:

console.log(window.availableLanguages);

✅ It should log something like:

[
  { "code": "en", "name": "English" },
  { "code": "de", "name": "German" }
]

❌ If it logs just a list of strings like `["en", "de"]`, your `select()` or format is wrong.

### ✅ 4. **Fix Vue Template (If Still Broken)**

Make sure you're using this exact `v-for`:

<div v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code" class="form-group">
    <label>Title (@{{ lang.name }})</label>
    <input type="text" v-model="piller.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control" :placeholder="`Enter title in ${lang.name}`">
</div>

### ✅ 5. **Alternative Debug Tip**

If still not working, temporarily try:

<pre>@{{ availableLanguages }}</pre>

To visually inspect the data in your view.

### ✅ Summary

| ✅ Check | Description |
|———|————-|
| Controller | `select('code', 'name')` not just `pluck('name', 'code')` |
| Blade | Use `@json()` and assign to `window.availableLanguages` |
| Vue | Make sure `availableLanguages` is assigned in `data()` |
| Template | Use `lang.code` and `lang.name` |

Let me know what `console.log(window.availableLanguages)` shows — I’ll adjust based on the real structure.

User
[ { "id": 1, "title": "English", "code": "en", "created_at": null, "updated_at": null }, { "id": 2, "title": "German", "code": "de", "created_at": null, "updated_at": null } ]
Assistant
Thanks! That explains it perfectly — your `availableLanguages` array contains `title`, not `name`. So in Vue, you're using `lang.name`, but the actual field is `lang.title`.

### ✅ Quick Fix in Vue Template

Update your `v-for` block like this:

<div v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code" class="form-group">
    <label>Title (@{{ lang.title }})</label>
    <input type="text" v-model="piller.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control" :placeholder="`Enter title in ${lang.title}`">
</div>

### 🧠 Optional: If you prefer `name` in Vue for consistency, you could also map it in your controller:

$languages = AppModelsLanguage::select('code', 'title as name')->get();

Then your original Vue template using `lang.name` will work without changes.

Let me know which approach you prefer, and I’ll help you align everything accordingly.

Assistant
Perfect — your `availableLanguages` data structure is:

[
  { "id": 1, "title": "English", "code": "en" },
  { "id": 2, "title": "German", "code": "de" }
]

So instead of `lang.name`, you should use `lang.title`.

### ✅ Update your Vue template loop like this:

<div v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code" class="form-group">
    <label>Title (@{{ lang.title }})</label>
    <input type="text" v-model="piller.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control" :placeholder="`Enter title in ${lang.title}`">
</div>

### ✅ Summary

| Property | Description |
|———-|————-|
| `lang.code` | Language code (`en`, `de`, etc.) |
| `lang.title` | Language display name (`English`, `German`, etc.) |

You're all set! Let me know if you want to auto-fill one language from another or pre-translate.

Assistant
To make the **Step 3 (Questions)** tab only active when at least **one Piller is saved (has an `id`)**, you should update the condition like this:

### ✅ Updated Code:

<li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link"
       :class="{ active: step === 3, disabled: !pillers.some(p => p.id) }"
       href="#"
       @click.prevent="goToStep(3)">
       3. Questions
    </a>
</li>

### ✅ Explanation:
– `pillers.some(p => p.id)` ensures the tab only activates if **at least one Piller has been successfully saved** (and thus has an `id`).
– Prevents users from jumping to Step 3 if only frontend Piller data exists but wasn’t submitted.

Let me know if you want to visually **disable the link** or show a tooltip like "Please add Pillers first".

User
limit pillers to min/max 5
Assistant
To **limit Pillers to a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 5**, you can update the Vue logic as follows:

### ✅ 1. **Limit "Add More Pillers" to max 5**
Update the button and method:

<button class="btn btn-secondary"

        :disabled="pillers.length >= 5">
    Add More Pillers
</button>
<small v-if="pillers.length >= 5" class="text-muted">
    Maximum 5 Pillers allowed.
</small>
addPiller() {
  if (this.pillers.length >= 5) return;

  const newPiller = {
    titles: {},
    weight: '',
    position: ''
  };
  this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
    newPiller.titles[lang.code] = '';
  });
  this.pillers.push(newPiller);
}

### ✅ 2. **Enforce Minimum of 1 Piller**
Update your `removePiller()` method to prevent going below 1:

removePiller(index) {
  if (this.pillers.length <= 1) {
    Swal.fire('Minimum Required', 'At least one Piller is required.', 'warning');
    return;
  }
  this.pillers.splice(index, 1);
}

### ✅ Optional UI Feedback
You can show a counter or visual guide:

<p class="text-muted">
  Total Pillers: @{{ pillers.length }} / 5
</p>

Let me know if you want to:
– Enforce the limit **on the backend as well**
– Disable submit if pillers count is out of bounds

add bootsrap 4 for styling make input fields for each pillor in one line and also buttons in one line

Assistant
To align each **Piller input row on one line** and have buttons in a single row using **Bootstrap 4**, you can use the grid system (`row` + `col`) effectively.

Here’s the updated Step 2 block with:
– Inputs (`title`, `weight`, `position`) arranged **in one row per piller**
– Buttons (`Add More`, `Save and Next`) in one line
– Proper Bootstrap 4 structure

### ✅ Updated `step === 2` HTML with Bootstrap 4 Styling

<div v-if="step === 2">
    <h4>{{ __('Add Pillers') }}</h4>

    <div v-for="(piller, index) in pillers" :key="index" class="border p-3 mb-3">
        <div class="form-row align-items-end">
            <div class="col-12">
                <h5>{{ __('Piller') }} @{{ index + 1 }}</h5>
            </div>

            <div v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code" class="col-md-4 mb-3">
                <label>{{ __('Title') }} (@{{ lang.code.toUpperCase() }})</label>
                <input type="text" v-model="piller.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control" :placeholder="`Enter title in ${lang.code}`">
            </div>

            <div class="col-md-2 mb-3">
                <label>{{ __('Weight') }}</label>
                <input type="number" v-model="piller.weight" class="form-control" placeholder="e.g. 1">
            </div>

            <div class="col-md-2 mb-3">
                <label>{{ __('Position') }}</label>
                <input type="number" v-model="piller.position" class="form-control" placeholder="e.g. 1">
            </div>

            <div class="col-auto mb-3" v-if="pillers.length > 1">
                <label> </label><br>
                <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" @click="removePiller(index)" title="Remove Piller">
                    <i class="fa fa-trash" aria-hidden="true"></i>
                </button>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

    <!-- Button Row -->
    <div class="form-row mt-3">
        <div class="col-auto">
            <button class="btn btn-secondary" @click="addPiller" :disabled="pillers.length >= 5">
                {{ __('Add More Pillers') }}
            </button>
        </div>
        <div class="col-auto">
            <button class="btn btn-primary" @click="submitPillers">
                {{ __('Save and Next') }}
            </button>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

### 🧠 Notes:
– `form-row` is Bootstrap 4’s way of aligning form controls horizontally.
– `col-md-*` determines column width per field.
– `col-auto` ensures buttons shrink to content size.
– You can adjust column widths (`col-md-4`, `col-md-2`, etc.) based on how many languages you expect.

Let me know if you'd like to include **inline validation messages** or collapse each Piller in an accordion layout for larger forms.

delete button in same row
Assistant
To place the **delete (trash) button in the same row** as the inputs, you just need to:
– Add it as a `col` inside the same `.form-row`
– Use vertical alignment with `align-self-end` to match the input bottoms

### ✅ Updated `form-row` Layout with Delete Button in Same Line

<div v-for="(piller, index) in pillers" :key="index" class="border p-3 mb-3">
    <div class="form-row align-items-end">
        <div class="col-12">
            <h5>{{ __('Piller') }} @{{ index + 1 }}</h5>
        </div>

        <div v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code" class="col-md-4 mb-3">
            <label>{{ __('Title') }} (@{{ lang.code.toUpperCase() }})</label>
            <input type="text" v-model="piller.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control" :placeholder="`Enter title in ${lang.code}`">
        </div>

        <div class="col-md-2 mb-3">
            <label>{{ __('Weight') }}</label>
            <input type="number" v-model="piller.weight" class="form-control" placeholder="e.g. 1">
        </div>

        <div class="col-md-2 mb-3">
            <label>{{ __('Position') }}</label>
            <input type="number" v-model="piller.position" class="form-control" placeholder="e.g. 1">
        </div>

        <div class="col-md-1 mb-3 d-flex align-items-end" v-if="pillers.length > 1">
            <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" @click="removePiller(index)" title="Remove Piller">
                <i class="fa fa-trash"></i>
            </button>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

### 🧩 Visual Result:
All inputs + the delete button will appear **in a single row**, neatly aligned at the bottom.

Let me know if you want to hide the delete button for the **first Piller only** or add confirmation before deleting.

Assistant
Here’s your updated `submitPillers()` method rewritten in the same structure and error-handling style as your `submitSurvey()` code:

### ✅ Updated `submitPillers()` with structured `fetch` and SweetAlert logic

submitPillers() {
  // Validation
  for (let [i, piller] of this.pillers.entries()) {
    for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
      if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
        Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Title required for ${lang.title}`, 'error');
        return;
      }
    }
    if (!piller.weight || !piller.position) {
      Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Weight and Position are required`, 'error');
      return;
    }
  }

  const requests = this.pillers.map(piller => {
    const data = {
      survey_id: this.survey_id,
      titles: piller.titles,
      weight: piller.weight,
      position: piller.position
    };

    return fetch("{{ route('admin.pillars.store') }}", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(data)
    }).then(res => res.json().then(json => ({ status: res.status, body: json })));
  });

  Promise.all(requests).then(results => {
    let allSuccess = true;

    results.forEach(({ status, body }, index) => {
      if (status === 200 && body.piller_id) {
        this.pillers[index].id = body.piller_id;
      } else {
        allSuccess = false;
      }
    });

    if (allSuccess) {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'success',
        title: "{{ __('Pillers saved successfully!') }}",
        showConfirmButton: false,
        timer: 1500
      });
      this.step = 3;
    } else {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'error',
        title: "{{ __('Some Pillers failed to save') }}",
        text: "{{ __('Please try again or contact admin.') }}"
      });
    }
  }).catch(() => {
    Swal.fire({
      icon: 'error',
      title: "{{ __('Unexpected Error') }}",
      text: "{{ __('Something went wrong while saving the Pillers.') }}"
    });
  });
}

### ✅ Improvements made:
– Matches your `submitSurvey()` structure
– Adds better `status` checking per response
– Shows SweetAlert based on success/failure of individual requests
– Keeps `this.step = 3` only if all Pillers save successfully

Let me know if you want to **retry failed piller saves** or display per-piller error in the UI.

User
also check if min/max 5 pilers added
Assistant
Absolutely! Here's how to fully integrate **min/max 5 Piller validation** into your updated `submitPillers()` method:

### ✅ Final Version of `submitPillers()` with:
– 🟢 Structured `fetch` with `status` check
– 🟢 SweetAlert feedback
– 🛑 Validation: min 1, max 5 pillers
– 🛑 Field-level checks for `titles`, `weight`, and `position`

submitPillers() {
  // Check min/max piller count
  if (this.pillers.length < 1) {
    Swal.fire('Validation Error', 'At least 1 Piller is required.', 'warning');
    return;
  }
  if (this.pillers.length > 5) {
    Swal.fire('Validation Error', 'You can add a maximum of 5 Pillers only.', 'warning');
    return;
  }

  // Field-level validation
  for (let [i, piller] of this.pillers.entries()) {
    for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
      if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
        Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Title required for ${lang.title}`, 'error');
        return;
      }
    }
    if (!piller.weight || !piller.position) {
      Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Weight and Position are required`, 'error');
      return;
    }
  }

  const requests = this.pillers.map(piller => {
    const data = {
      survey_id: this.survey_id,
      titles: piller.titles,
      weight: piller.weight,
      position: piller.position
    };

    return fetch("{{ route('admin.pillars.store') }}", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(data)
    }).then(res => res.json().then(json => ({ status: res.status, body: json })));
  });

  Promise.all(requests).then(results => {
    let allSuccess = true;

    results.forEach(({ status, body }, index) => {
      if (status === 200 && body.piller_id) {
        this.pillers[index].id = body.piller_id;
      } else {
        allSuccess = false;
      }
    });

    if (allSuccess) {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'success',
        title: "{{ __('Pillers saved successfully!') }}",
        showConfirmButton: false,
        timer: 1500
      });
      this.step = 3;
    } else {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'error',
        title: "{{ __('Some Pillers failed to save') }}",
        text: "{{ __('Please try again or contact admin.') }}"
      });
    }
  }).catch(() => {
    Swal.fire({
      icon: 'error',
      title: "{{ __('Unexpected Error') }}",
      text: "{{ __('Something went wrong while saving the Pillers.') }}"
    });
  });
}

### ✅ Tip:
You can also **disable the submit button** when `pillers.length` is out of bounds:

<button class="btn btn-primary ml-2"
        @click="submitPillers"
        :disabled="pillers.length < 1 || pillers.length > 5">
  {{ __('Save and Next') }}
</button>

Let me know if you also want to auto-focus on the first invalid field or scroll to it.

User
there must be 5
Assistant
Thanks for the clarification! ✅ You want to **require exactly 5 Pillers** before proceeding.

### ✅ Updated `submitPillers()` with **exactly 5 Pillers required**:

submitPillers() {
  // Require exactly 5 pillers
  if (this.pillers.length !== 5) {
    Swal.fire('Validation Error', 'You must add exactly 5 Pillers to continue.', 'warning');
    return;
  }

  // Field-level validation
  for (let [i, piller] of this.pillers.entries()) {
    for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
      if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
        Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Title required for ${lang.title}`, 'error');
        return;
      }
    }
    if (!piller.weight || !piller.position) {
      Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Weight and Position are required`, 'error');
      return;
    }
  }

  const requests = this.pillers.map(piller => {
    const data = {
      survey_id: this.survey_id,
      titles: piller.titles,
      weight: piller.weight,
      position: piller.position
    };

    return fetch("{{ route('admin.pillars.store') }}", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
        "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
      },
      body: JSON.stringify(data)
    }).then(res => res.json().then(json => ({ status: res.status, body: json })));
  });

  Promise.all(requests).then(results => {
    let allSuccess = true;

    results.forEach(({ status, body }, index) => {
      if (status === 200 && body.piller_id) {
        this.pillers[index].id = body.piller_id;
      } else {
        allSuccess = false;
      }
    });

    if (allSuccess) {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'success',
        title: "{{ __('Pillers saved successfully!') }}",
        showConfirmButton: false,
        timer: 1500
      });
      this.step = 3;
    } else {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'error',
        title: "{{ __('Some Pillers failed to save') }}",
        text: "{{ __('Please try again or contact admin.') }}"
      });
    }
  }).catch(() => {
    Swal.fire({
      icon: 'error',
      title: "{{ __('Unexpected Error') }}",
      text: "{{ __('Something went wrong while saving the Pillers.') }}"
    });
  });
}

### ✅ Optional: Disable Submit Until 5 Pillers

<button class="btn btn-primary ml-2"
        @click="submitPillers"
        :disabled="pillers.length !== 5">
  {{ __('Save and Next') }}
</button>

Let me know if you want to enforce the same rule server-side for extra security, or visually mark how many Pillers are remaining.

User
send all pillers data at once not in single
Assistant
Perfect — to send all 5 Pillers **in a single request** to the backend (instead of one by one), follow these steps:

### ✅ 1. **Vue `submitPillers()` – Single Payload for All Pillers**

Update your method like this:

submitPillers() {
  if (this.pillers.length !== 5) {
    Swal.fire('Validation Error', 'You must add exactly 5 Pillers to continue.', 'warning');
    return;
  }

  // Validate each piller
  for (let [i, piller] of this.pillers.entries()) {
    for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
      if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
        Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Title required for ${lang.title}`, 'error');
        return;
      }
    }
    if (!piller.weight || !piller.position) {
      Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller ${i + 1}: Weight and Position are required`, 'error');
      return;
    }
  }

  const data = {
    survey_id: this.survey_id,
    pillers: this.pillers
  };

  fetch("{{ route('admin.pillars.storeAll') }}", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(data)
  })
  .then(res => res.json().then(json => ({ status: res.status, body: json })))
  .then(({ status, body }) => {
    if (status === 200 && body.success) {
      // Save returned piller_ids if needed
      this.pillers = body.pillers;
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'success',
        title: "{{ __('Pillers saved successfully!') }}",
        showConfirmButton: false,
        timer: 1500
      });
      this.step = 3;
    } else {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'error',
        title: "{{ __('Validation Error') }}",
        text: body.message || "{{ __('Please check your input.') }}"
      });
    }
  })
  .catch(() => {
    Swal.fire({
      icon: 'error',
      title: "{{ __('Unexpected Error') }}",
      text: "{{ __('Something went wrong while saving the Pillers.') }}"
    });
  });
}

### ✅ 2. **Laravel Route**

Route::post('/admin/pillars/store-all', [AdminPillerController::class, 'storeAll'])->name('admin.pillars.storeAll');

### ✅ 3. **Backend: `storeAll()` Method**

public function storeAll(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'survey_id' => 'required|exists:surveys,id',
        'pillers' => 'required|array|size:5',
        'pillers.*.titles' => 'required|array',
        'pillers.*.titles.en' => 'required|string',
        'pillers.*.titles.de' => 'required|string',
        'pillers.*.weight' => 'required|numeric',
        'pillers.*.position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    $savedPillers = [];

    foreach ($request->pillers as $pillerData) {
        $piller = AppModelsPiller::create([
            'survey_id' => $request->survey_id,
            'weight' => $pillerData['weight'],
            'position' => $pillerData['position'],
        ]);

        foreach ($pillerData['titles'] as $lang => $title) {
            $piller->translations()->create([
                'language_code' => $lang,
                'title' => $title,
            ]);
        }

        $savedPillers[] = [
            'id' => $piller->id,
            'titles' => $pillerData['titles'],
            'weight' => $piller->weight,
            'position' => $piller->position
        ];
    }

    return response()->json(['success' => true, 'pillers' => $savedPillers]);
}

### ✅ Summary

– ✅ Sends all 5 Pillers in one request
– ✅ Validates input fully in frontend and backend
– ✅ Responds with created Pillers (including IDs if needed for next step)

Let me know if your `translations()` relation uses a different structure or if you want to batch-insert for performance.

### ✅ 2. **Vue Data Structure**

Update your `data()`:

data() {
  return {
    ...
    questions: {}, // { pillerId: [ { title_en, title_de, position } ] }
  }
}

### ✅ 3. **Vue Methods**

addQuestion(pillerId) {
  if (!this.questions[pillerId]) {
    this.questions[pillerId] = [];
  }
  if (this.questions[pillerId].length >= 10) return;

  this.questions[pillerId].push({
    title_en: '',
    title_de: '',
    position: ''
  });
},

removeQuestion(pillerId, index) {
  this.questions[pillerId].splice(index, 1);
},

submitQuestions() {
  // Validate: at least 1 question per piller
  for (let piller of this.pillers) {
    const list = this.questions[piller.id] || [];
    if (list.length < 1) {
      Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller "${piller.titles.en}" must have at least 1 question.`, 'warning');

      icon: 'error',
      title: "{{ __('Unexpected Error') }}",
      text: "{{ __('Something went wrong while saving the questions.') }}"
    });
  });
}

### ✅ 4. **Backend Route & Controller**

**Route:**

Route::post('/admin/questions/store-all', [AdminQuestionController::class, 'storeAll'])->name('admin.questions.storeAll');

**Controller:**

public function storeAll(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'questions' => 'required|array',
        'questions.*.piller_id' => 'required|exists:pillers,id',
        'questions.*.title_en' => 'required|string',
        'questions.*.title_de' => 'required|string',
        'questions.*.position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    foreach ($request->questions as $question) {
        AppModelsQuestion::create([
            'piller_id' => $question['piller_id'],
            'title_en' => $question['title_en'],
            'title_de' => $question['title_de'],
            'position' => $question['position'],
        ]);
    }

    return response()->json(['success' => true]);
}

Let me know if you want to:
– Pre-fill 1 empty question per Piller automatically
– Allow sorting questions within each Piller
– Add question-level error display per field

User
display piller in drodown and when we choose any of them then show option to add questions by add more
Assistant
Perfect — here’s how you can update **Step 3** to:

✅ Show a **dropdown** of all Pillers (with their `titles.en`)
✅ When a Piller is selected, display a form to **add/edit up to 10 questions**
✅ Allow dynamically adding/removing questions for that selected Piller
✅ Enforce min 1, max 10 questions per selected Piller

### ✅ 1. **Vue Data Update**

data() {
  return {
    ...
    selectedPillerId: '', // the currently selected piller for question input
    questions: {}, // e.g. { '1': [ {...}, {...} ] }
  };
}

### ✅ 2. **HTML Template for Step 3**

Let me know if you want:
– A default question auto-added when selecting a piller
– Backend validation to enforce 1–10 questions per piller
– Inline error markers on specific question fields

User
we can add questions to all pillars by selecting one by one
Assistant
Exactly — with the updated approach, you can:

✅ **Select one Piller at a time** from the dropdown
✅ Add up to **10 questions** for that selected Piller
✅ Switch to another Piller and **add questions** for it too
✅ Submit **all questions** for all Pillers in one go

### ✅ How it works:
– You **select a Piller** → see input fields for that one only
– You can **add/edit questions** specific to the selected Piller
– Switch to another Piller from dropdown → input fields update
– All question data is stored in `questions[piller_id]` behind the scenes

### ✅ Quick Example Flow:

1. Select **Piller A** → add 3 questions
2. Select **Piller B** → add 2 questions
3. Select **Piller C** → nothing yet
4. Click **Submit All Questions** → backend gets structured payload with all questions grouped by Piller IDs.

### ✅ Optional Improvements:
If you want to **visually preview which Pillers have questions** added, you can enhance the dropdown:

<option
  v-for="pill in pillers"
  :key="pill.id"
  :value="pill.id">
  @{{ pill.titles.en }} 
  (@{{ questions[pill.id]?.length || 0 }} {{ __('question(s)') }})
</option>

This will show:

Piller A (3 question(s))
Piller B (2 question(s))
Piller C (0 question(s))

Let me know if you'd like to:
– Add a **"Preview All Questions"** button
– Show all Pillers + their questions at once (instead of dropdown)
– Add per-question validation indicators (like red border if empty)

User
title will be depend on languages dynamically
Assistant
Got it! You want to make the **question title fields dynamic based on languages**, just like you did for Pillers. That means:

✅ Each question will have titles for all languages (e.g. `en`, `de`, etc.)
✅ These fields will be generated **dynamically** based on the `availableLanguages` array
✅ You'll manage questions per Piller (`questions[pillerId] = […]`) with language-based titles

### ✅ 1. Update Vue Data Structure for Questions

Instead of:

{
  title_en: '',
  title_de: '',
  position: ''
}

Use:

{
  titles: { en: '', de: '' },
  position: ''
}

### ✅ 2. Updated `addQuestion()` Method

addQuestion(pillerId) {
  if (!this.questions[pillerId]) {
    this.questions[pillerId] = [];
  }
  if (this.questions[pillerId].length >= 10) return;

  const titles = {};
  this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
    titles[lang.code] = '';
  });

  this.questions[pillerId].push({
    titles,
    position: ''
  });
}

### ✅ 3. Updated HTML for Questions (Step 3)

<div v-for="(question, qIndex) in questions[selectedPillerId]" :key="qIndex" class="form-row align-items-end mb-3">
  <template v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code">
    <div class="col-md-4 mb-2">
      <label>{{ __('Title') }} (@{{ lang.code.toUpperCase() }})</label>
      <input type="text" v-model="question.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control"
             :placeholder="`Enter title in ${lang.title}`">
    </div>
  </template>

  <div class="col-md-2 mb-2">
    <label>{{ __('Position') }}</label>
    <input type="number" v-model="question.position" class="form-control" placeholder="e.g. 1">
  </div>

  <div class="col-md-1 mb-2">
    <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm mt-4" @click="removeQuestion(selectedPillerId, qIndex)">
      <i class="fa fa-trash"></i>
    </button>
  </div>
</div>

### ✅ 4. Update `submitQuestions()` Logic

Send all question titles per language to the backend:

submitQuestions() {
  const payload = {
    questions: []
  };

  for (let piller of this.pillers) {
    const list = this.questions[piller.id] || [];
    if (list.length < 1) {
      Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Piller "${piller.titles.en}" must have at least 1 question.`, 'warning');
      return;
    }

    list.forEach(q => {
      for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
        if (!q.titles[lang.code]) {
          Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Title (${lang.title}) is required for all questions in "${piller.titles.en}"`, 'error');
          return;
        }
      }

      payload.questions.push({
        piller_id: piller.id,
        titles: q.titles,
        position: q.position
      });
    });
  }

  fetch("{{ route('admin.questions.storeAll') }}", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "X-CSRF-TOKEN": "{{ csrf_token() }}"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(payload)
  })
  .then(res => res.json().then(json => ({ status: res.status, body: json })))
  .then(({ status, body }) => {
    if (status === 200 && body.success) {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'success',
        title: "{{ __('Questions saved successfully!') }}",
        showConfirmButton: false,
        timer: 1500
      });
    } else {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'error',
        title: "{{ __('Validation Error') }}",
        text: body.message || "{{ __('Please check your input.') }}"
      });
    }
  })
  .catch(() => {
    Swal.fire({
      icon: 'error',
      title: "{{ __('Unexpected Error') }}",
      text: "{{ __('Something went wrong while saving the questions.') }}"
    });
  });
}

### ✅ 5. Backend Validation & Save

In your controller:

$request->validate([
    'questions' => 'required|array',
    'questions.*.piller_id' => 'required|exists:pillers,id',
    'questions.*.titles' => 'required|array',
    'questions.*.titles.en' => 'required|string', // repeat as needed or use a custom loop
    'questions.*.position' => 'required|integer',
]);

foreach ($request->questions as $question) {
    $q = AppModelsQuestion::create([
        'piller_id' => $question['piller_id'],
        'position' => $question['position'],
    ]);

    foreach ($question['titles'] as $lang => $title) {
        $q->translations()->create([
            'language_code' => $lang,
            'title' => $title
        ]);
    }
}

Let me know if:
– You store language titles in the same `questions` table or in a separate `question_translations` table
– You want to **auto-assign position values** or allow sorting via drag & drop

User
make like we make for pillar steps
Assistant
Great! You want to make the **Questions step (Step 3)** work like **Pillers step (Step 2)** — where:

✅ You select a Piller from a dropdown
✅ Add multiple questions for that Piller (up to 10 max, at least 1 required)
✅ Each question includes a dynamic `titles` object (based on available languages)
✅ All questions for all Pillers are submitted together in one request

### ✅ Final Working Structure (Just like Pillers)

### 🔁 Step 3 Blade Template
Replace your Step 3 block with this:

<div v-if="step === 3">
    <h4>{{ __('Add Questions') }}</h4>

    <!-- Piller Selector -->
    <div class="form-group">
        <label>{{ __('Select Piller') }}</label>
        <select v-model="selectedPillerId" class="form-control">
            <option disabled value="">{{ __('-- Select Piller --') }}</option>
            <option v-for="pill in pillers" :key="pill.id" :value="pill.id">
                @{{ pill.titles.en }}
            </option>
        </select>
    </div>

    <!-- Question Entry for Selected Piller -->
    <div v-if="selectedPillerId" class="border p-3 mb-3">
        <h5>@{{ getPillerTitle(selectedPillerId) }}</h5>

        <div v-for="(question, index) in questions[selectedPillerId]" :key="index" class="form-row align-items-end mb-2">

                <input type="text" v-model="question.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control" :placeholder="`Enter title in ${lang.title}`">
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-2">

    <div class="text-right mt-4">
        <button class="btn btn-success" @click="submitQuestions">
            {{ __('Submit All Questions') }}
        </button>
    </div>
</div>

### ✅ Vue `data()`

data() {
    return {
        ...
        selectedPillerId: '',
        questions: {}, // questions[piller_id] = [ { titles: {en:'',de:''}, position: '' }, ... ]

            Swal.fire({

                title: "{{ __('Validation Error') }}",
                text: body.message || "{{ __('Please check your input.') }}"
            });
        }
    })
    .catch(() => {
        Swal.fire({
            icon: 'error',
            title: "{{ __('Unexpected Error') }}",

}

### ✅ Backend Controller Example

public function storeAll(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'questions' => 'required|array',
        'questions.*.piller_id' => 'required|exists:pillers,id',
        'questions.*.titles' => 'required|array',
        'questions.*.titles.en' => 'required|string',
        'questions.*.titles.de' => 'required|string',
        'questions.*.position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    foreach ($request->questions as $q) {
        $question = AppModelsQuestion::create([
            'piller_id' => $q['piller_id'],
            'position' => $q['position']
        ]);

        foreach ($q['titles'] as $lang => $title) {
            $question->translations()->create([
                'language_code' => $lang,
                'title' => $title,
            ]);
        }
    }

    return response()->json(['success' => true]);
}

This setup now mirrors the **Pillers step**:
– Dynamic language-based fields
– Grouped by selected item
– Clean, extendable structure

Let me know if you'd like to:
– Add question preview per piller
– Show number of questions beside each piller in dropdown
– Enable drag & drop sorting of questions

when select pillers then page blank
Assistant
If selecting a Piller causes the page to go blank (in Step 3), it usually means there's a **JavaScript error** breaking the Vue rendering. Let's troubleshoot and fix it step-by-step.

### ✅ 1. **Open DevTools → Console Tab**

In Chrome or Firefox, press `F12` or right-click → Inspect → go to the **Console** tab.

Look for errors like:
– `Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')`
– `Cannot read property 'titles' of undefined`
– `this.questions[selectedPillerId] is undefined`

### ✅ 2. **Common Fixes**

#### 🔁 **Initialize questions on selection**

Make sure this code runs when selecting a piller:

watch: {
  selectedPillerId(newVal) {
    if (newVal && !this.questions[newVal]) {
      // initialize empty question list with 1 question
      const titles = {};
      this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
        titles[lang.code] = '';
      });

      this.questions[newVal] = [{
        titles,
        position: ''
      }];
    }
  }
},

If you're not using `watch`, you can also do this inside your `addQuestion()`:

addQuestion() {
  if (!this.selectedPillerId) return;

  if (!this.questions[this.selectedPillerId]) {
    this.questions[this.selectedPillerId] = [];
  }

  if (this.questions[this.selectedPillerId].length >= 10) return;

  const titles = {};
  this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
    titles[lang.code] = '';
  });

  this.questions[this.selectedPillerId].push({
    titles,
    position: ''
  });
}

### ✅ 3. **Safe Template Access (avoid undefined)**

In Blade template:

<div v-if="selectedPillerId && questions[selectedPillerId]">
  <div v-for="(question, index) in questions[selectedPillerId]" :key="index" class="form-row mb-2">
    <div v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code" class="col-md-4">
      <label>{{ __('Title') }} (@{{ lang.code.toUpperCase() }})</label>
      <input type="text" v-model="question.titles[lang.code]" class="form-control" />
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-2">
      <label>{{ __('Position') }}</label>
      <input type="number" v-model="question.position" class="form-control" />
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-1">
      <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm mt-4" @click="removeQuestion(index)">
        <i class="fa fa-trash"></i>
      </button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

### ✅ 4. **Confirm piller `titles.en` exists**

If your piller structure is like:

{
  id: 3,
  titles: { en: 'Performance', de: 'Leistung' }
}

Make sure:

getPillerTitle(id) {
  const piller = this.pillers.find(p => p.id == id);
  return piller?.titles?.en || '';
}

### ✅ Final Tip

If all else fails, add this debug line in your mounted lifecycle:

mounted() {
  console.log('Pillers:', this.pillers);
  console.log('Languages:', this.availableLanguages);
}

This confirms the data Vue is working with.

Let me know the exact error from console if you're still stuck — I’ll give a precise fix based on that.

Assistant
User wants to create an edit page for their multi-step survey form (survey → pillers → questions) in Laravel with Vue 3, where each step loads existing data including language-based dynamic fields.
Assistant
Below is an example of an **edit page** that mirrors your create page structure but loads existing data for the survey, its pillers, and its questions. In this example, it’s assumed that your controller passes the following variables to the view:

– **$survey** – the survey model (with properties like name and options)
– **$pillars** – a collection of pillar records with their translations (each pillar has an `id` and a `titles` array containing language keys such as “en” and “de”)
– **$questions** – the questions data grouped by pillar ID (an associative array where keys are pillar IDs and values are arrays of question objects; each question contains a `titles` array and a `position`)
– **$languages** – the available languages (each record with at least `code` and `title`)

Adjust your controller accordingly before using this Blade template.

### Explanation

1. **Preloading Data:**
– The backend passes existing survey data, pillars, questions, and available languages to the view.
– These are assigned to global JavaScript variables (`window.surveyData`, etc.) so that the Vue instance can initialize with pre-populated values.

2. **Vue Instance Data:**
– The `survey`, `pillars`, and `questions` objects are initialized from the global variables.
– The selected pillar for editing questions is stored in `selectedPillarId`.

3. **Step Functions:**
– **Step 1:** Allows editing the survey’s name and options.
– **Step 2:** Displays existing pillars (or a default pillar if none exists) and lets you add, remove, and update them.
– **Step 3:** Lets you select a pillar from a dropdown, add or remove questions for that pillar, and update all questions.

4. **Submission:**
– Each update method uses `fetch` with the appropriate HTTP method (`PUT` in this case) and displays feedback with SweetAlert.
– After successful updates, you are redirected (for example, back to the survey index after updating questions).

5. **Loading Overlay:**
– A loading overlay is displayed until Vue is mounted and then removed.

Adjust the routes and controller method names (`admin.surveys.update`, `admin.pillars.updateAll`, and `admin.questions.updateAll`) to match your backend implementation. This complete edit page should allow you to update your survey and its related data in three steps using Vue and Bootstrap 4.

Let me know if you need further customizations or encounter any issues!

Great! Now that you're ready to create the **Edit Page** for your 3-step Survey form (Survey → Pillers → Questions), here's what you need:

### ✅ What the Edit Page Should Do:

1. **Load existing Survey**, Pillers, and Questions data from the backend
2. Populate Vue data (`survey`, `pillers`, `questions`) on mount
3. Support editing all dynamic language-based fields
4. Submit updates to respective update routes

### ✅ Step-by-Step Plan:

#### 1. **Controller for Edit**

In your controller:

public function edit($id)
{
    $survey = Survey::with(['pillars.translations', 'questions.translations'])->findOrFail($id);
    $languages = Language::select('code', 'title')->get();

    // transform for frontend
    $pillars = $survey->pillars->map(function ($pillar) {
        return [
            'id' => $pillar->id,
            'titles' => $pillar->translations->pluck('title', 'language_code'),
            'weight' => $pillar->weight,
            'position' => $pillar->position
        ];
    });

    $questions = [];
    foreach ($survey->questions as $q) {
        $questions[$q->pillar_id][] = [
            'titles' => $q->translations->pluck('title', 'language_code'),
            'position' => $q->position
        ];
    }

    return view('admin.surveys.edit', [
        'survey' => $survey,
        'languages' => $languages,
        'pillars' => $pillars,
        'questions' => $questions,
    ]);
}

#### 2. **Blade View Changes**

Pass the backend data into your Vue app:

<script>
    window.editSurveyData = {
        survey: @json($survey),
        languages: @json($languages),
        pillers: @json($pillars),
        questions: @json($questions)
    };
</script>

#### 3. **Update Vue Initialization (in `data()` and `mounted()`)**

In `data()`:

data() {
  return {
    step: 1,
    loading: false,
    survey_id: window.editSurveyData.survey.id,
    survey: {
      name: window.editSurveyData.survey.name,
      options: []
    },
    availableLanguages: window.editSurveyData.languages,
    pillers: window.editSurveyData.pillers,
    questions: window.editSurveyData.questions,
    selectedPillerId: '',
    surveyError: ''
  }
}

In `mounted()`:

mounted() {
  // Convert boolean options to array
  const opts = [];
  if (window.editSurveyData.survey.allow_comments) opts.push('allow_comments');
  if (window.editSurveyData.survey.allow_comments_on_pillers) opts.push('allow_comments_on_pillers');
  if (window.editSurveyData.survey.mark_as_external) opts.push('mark_as_external');
  this.survey.options = opts;
}

#### 4. **Modify Submit Methods**

Use `PUT` or `PATCH` methods and include the survey ID for updating:

fetch(`/admin/surveys/${this.survey_id}`, {
  method: "PUT",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-CSRF-TOKEN": csrfToken
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(updatedData)
})

Repeat similar adjustments for `pillars/update` and `questions/update`.

Let me know if you want:
– A full working `edit.blade.php` boilerplate
– Separate update routes/controllers for Survey, Pillars, and Questions
– The ability to **add/remove** Pillers/Questions on the Edit page just like Create

Assistant
Great! You're describing a nested relationship structure like this:

### ✅ Laravel Eloquent Relationships

#### 📋 1. **Survey Model**

public function pillars()
{
    return $this->hasMany(Pillar::class);
}

#### 📋 2. **Pillar Model**

public function survey()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(Survey::class);
}

public function questions()
{
    return $this->hasMany(Question::class);
}

#### 📋 3. **Question Model**

public function pillar()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(Pillar::class);
}

### ✅ Eager Loading in Controller (Edit Page)

When you load the survey for editing, make sure to eager-load everything:

$survey = Survey::with(['pillars.questions'])->findOrFail($id);

// Structure for Vue frontend
$pillars = $survey->pillars->map(function ($pillar) {
    return [
        'id' => $pillar->id,
        'titles' => $pillar->translations->pluck('title', 'language_code'),
        'weight' => $pillar->weight,
        'position' => $pillar->position,
    ];
});

$questions = [];
foreach ($survey->pillars as $pillar) {
    $questions[$pillar->id] = $pillar->questions->map(function ($question) {
        return [
            'id' => $question->id,
            'titles' => $question->translations->pluck('title', 'language_code'),
            'position' => $question->position,
        ];
    });
}

$languages = Language::select('code', 'title')->get();

return view('admin.surveys.edit', compact('survey', 'pillars', 'questions', 'languages'));

> Adjust `translations` logic based on your actual schema. If you're not using a translations table, simplify accordingly.

### ✅ Your Relationships Summary

| Model | Relationship | Description |
|———|—————————-|——————————————|
| Survey | `hasMany(Pillar::class)` | One survey has many pillars |
| Pillar | `belongsTo(Survey::class)“hasMany(Question::class)` | Each pillar belongs to a survey and has many questions |
| Question| `belongsTo(Pillar::class)` | Each question belongs to a pillar |

Let me know if you:
– Need help with syncing/attaching data while saving from Vue
– Want to validate nested relations (`questions.*.titles.*`, etc.)
– Use translations in a separate table (`question_translations`, etc.) and want examples for those too

now adjust above as per edit code

Assistant
User has a 3-step Laravel Vue.js form where a survey has many pillars, and each pillar has many questions. They are now implementing the edit version of the form.
Assistant
To convert your **3-step survey creation form** into an **edit version**, you'll need to:

1. **Preload existing survey, pillar, and question data from the controller**
2. **Initialize that data into your Vue `data()` block**
3. Adjust submission routes to use `PUT` methods (`update` routes)

### ✅ CONTROLLER: Example Data for Edit Page
Ensure your controller sends:

$survey = Survey::with('pillars.questions')->findOrFail($id);

$pillars = $survey->pillars->map(function ($pillar) {
    return [
        'id' => $pillar->id,
        'titles' => $pillar->translations->pluck('title', 'language_code'),
        'weight' => $pillar->weight,
        'position' => $pillar->position
    ];
});

$questions = [];
foreach ($survey->pillars as $pillar) {
    $questions[$pillar->id] = $pillar->questions->map(function ($question) {
        return [
            'id' => $question->id,
            'titles' => $question->translations->pluck('title', 'language_code'),
            'position' => $question->position
        ];
    })->toArray();
}

$languages = Language::select('code', 'title')->get();

return view('admin.surveys.edit', compact('survey', 'pillars', 'questions', 'languages'));

### ✅ IN YOUR BLADE TEMPLATE

Add at the top of your Blade:

<script>
    window.surveyData = @json($survey);
    window.pillarsData = @json($pillars);
    window.questionsData = @json($questions);
    window.availableLanguages = @json($languages);
    const csrfToken = document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]').getAttribute('content');
</script>

### ✅ MODIFY YOUR `Vue` INIT DATA

Update `data()`:

data() {
  return {
    message: '',
    loading: false,
    step: 1,
    survey: {
      name: window.surveyData?.name || '',
      options: window.surveyData?.options || []
    },
    survey_id: window.surveyData?.id || null,
    surveyError: '',
    availableLanguages: window.availableLanguages || [],
    pillers: window.pillarsData || [],
    questions: window.questionsData || {},
    selectedPillerId: '',
  }
},

### ✅ UPDATE ROUTES IN YOUR FETCH CALLS

#### In `submitSurvey()`:

fetch(`{{ route('admin.surveys.update', ['survey' => ':id']) }}`.replace(':id', this.survey_id), {
  method: 'PUT',
  ...
})

#### In `submitPillers()`:

fetch(`{{ route('admin.pillars.updateAll', ['survey' => ':id']) }}`.replace(':id', this.survey_id), {
  method: 'PUT',
  ...
})

#### In `submitQuestions()`:

fetch(`{{ route('admin.questions.updateAll', ['survey' => ':id']) }}`.replace(':id', this.survey_id), {
  method: 'PUT',
  ...
})

### ✅ TWEAK `mounted()` FOR TITLES INIT (only if empty)

mounted() {
  if (this.pillers.length > 0) {
    this.pillers.forEach(piller => {
      this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
        if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
          piller.titles[lang.code] = '';
        }
      });
    });
  }
},

### ✅ FINAL REMARKS

– You don’t need to change the Blade HTML markup — just the backend and Vue logic to populate existing data.
– Be sure the `id` is preserved in `pillars` and `questions` so updates can target them.

Would you like me to generate the exact modified `submitSurvey`, `submitPillers`, and `submitQuestions` for edit mode now?

there is no surveyData.options
it has
allow_comments_pillars
allow_comments_surveys
external
Assistant
Thanks for the clarification!

Since your `survey` model stores individual boolean columns instead of an `options` array, you'll want to **map those booleans into the Vue `survey.options` array** on load — and convert them back when submitting.

### ✅ 1. **Initialize Vue `survey.options` on Edit Load**

In your `data()` section, use:

survey: {
  name: window.surveyData?.name || '',
  options: []
},

Then in `mounted()`, map the booleans to `options`:

mounted() {
  // Initialize titles for pillars
  this.pillers.forEach(piller => {
    this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
      if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
        piller.titles[lang.code] = '';
      }
    });
  });

  // Initialize options from booleans
  if (window.surveyData?.allow_comments_surveys) {
    this.survey.options.push('allow_comments');
  }
  if (window.surveyData?.allow_comments_pillars) {
    this.survey.options.push('allow_comments_on_pillers');
  }
  if (window.surveyData?.external) {
    this.survey.options.push('mark_as_external');
  }
}

### ✅ 2. **Update `submitSurvey()` for PUT Request**

Replace your POST call with a `PUT` call and map `options` back to boolean fields:

const data = {
  name: this.survey.name,
  allow_comments_surveys: this.survey.options.includes('allow_comments') ? 1 : 0,
  allow_comments_pillars: this.survey.options.includes('allow_comments_on_pillers') ? 1 : 0,
  external: this.survey.options.includes('mark_as_external') ? 1 : 0,
};

And the fetch call:

fetch(`{{ route('admin.surveys.update', ['survey' => ':id']) }}`.replace(':id', this.survey_id), {
  method: "PUT",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-CSRF-TOKEN": csrfToken
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(data)
})

This will keep your frontend UI unchanged (checkbox-based), while still syncing with your existing database schema (`allow_comments_surveys`, `allow_comments_pillars`, `external`).

Let me know if you want me to also refactor the Pillers/Questions update logic accordingly!

User
by default select first pillar id in 3rd step
Assistant
To **select the first pillar automatically** in **Step 3 (Questions)** when entering that step, just set `selectedPillerId` in the `goToStep(3)` logic.

### ✅ Update your `goToStep()` method:

goToStep(step) {
  if (step === 2 && !this.survey_id) return;
  if (step === 3 && this.pillers.every(p => !p.id)) return;

  this.step = step;

  // Auto-select first pillar when going to Step 3
  if (step === 3 && !this.selectedPillerId && this.pillers.length > 0) {
    this.selectedPillerId = this.pillers[0].id;

    // Initialize questions array for selected pillar if not already present
    if (!this.questions[this.selectedPillerId]) {
      this.questions[this.selectedPillerId] = [];
    }
  }
}

### 🔁 Optional: Also trigger `onPillerChange()` if needed:

If your `onPillerChange()` does something extra (like init structure), you can call it:

this.onPillerChange();

Add it right after setting `selectedPillerId`.

✅ This ensures that when the user reaches Step 3, the first pillar is already selected and ready to have questions added immediately.

Let me know if you'd like to also **auto-inject a blank question row** for that first pillar on entry.

User
$request->validate([
'name' => 'required|string|max:255|unique:surveys,name',
]);
no compatre name unique with current id
Assistant
To validate the `name` field as unique **but allow the current record's value** during **update**, you can use Laravel's `Rule::unique()->ignore()` syntax.

### ✅ Updated Validation Rule (with current ID)

In your controller’s `update` method:

use IlluminateValidationRule;

$request->validate([
    'name' => [
        'required',
        'string',
        'max:255',
        Rule::unique('surveys', 'name')->ignore($survey->id),
    ],
]);

– `surveys` = table name
– `'name'` = column name
– `$survey->id` = current record ID to ignore

> ✅ This ensures the name is unique **among other surveys**, but allows it to remain unchanged when editing.

Let me know if you're also validating nested relations like Pillers or Questions!

admin.pillars.updateAll backend code
Assistant
Here's a complete backend example for the `admin.pillars.updateAll` route, which handles updating all **pillars** for a given **survey** at once (including multilingual titles):

### ✅ Route

Route::put('/admin/surveys/{survey}/pillars/update-all', [AdminPillarController::class, 'updateAll'])
    ->name('admin.pillars.updateAll');

### ✅ Controller Method

use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use AppModelsPillar;
use AppModelsPillarTranslation;

public function updateAll(Request $request, $surveyId)
{
    $request->validate([
        'pillars' => 'required|array|size:5',
        'pillars.*.id' => 'nullable|exists:pillars,id',
        'pillars.*.titles' => 'required|array',
        'pillars.*.weight' => 'required|numeric',
        'pillars.*.position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    $updatedPillars = [];

    foreach ($request->pillars as $pillarData) {
        if (!empty($pillarData['id'])) {
            // Update existing pillar
            $pillar = Pillar::where('survey_id', $surveyId)->findOrFail($pillarData['id']);
            $pillar->update([
                'weight' => $pillarData['weight'],
                'position' => $pillarData['position'],
            ]);
        } else {
            // Create new pillar
            $pillar = Pillar::create([
                'survey_id' => $surveyId,
                'weight' => $pillarData['weight'],
                'position' => $pillarData['position'],
            ]);
        }

        // Handle translations
        foreach ($pillarData['titles'] as $langCode => $title) {
            PillarTranslation::updateOrCreate(
                ['pillar_id' => $pillar->id, 'language_code' => $langCode],
                ['title' => $title]
            );
        }

        // Return structured data for frontend
        $updatedPillars[] = [
            'id' => $pillar->id,
            'titles' => $pillarData['titles'],
            'weight' => $pillar->weight,
            'position' => $pillar->position,
        ];
    }

    return response()->json([
        'success' => true,
        'pillars' => $updatedPillars,
    ]);
}

### ✅ Notes

– Assumes you have a `pillars` table and a `pillar_translations` table.
– Validates exactly **5 pillars**.
– Handles both **new** and **existing** pillars.
– Returns the updated list (with IDs) to Vue so it can map future steps (e.g., questions).

Let me know if:
– You’re not using a separate `pillar_translations` table
– You need the Eloquent models structure for Pillar and PillarTranslation
– You want to soft-delete removed pillars during update

User
use piller controller default method update for this
Assistant
If you want to use the **default `update()` method** in your `AdminPillarController` (instead of a custom `updateAll`), and update all **pillars for a survey in one request**, you'll need to:

1. Accept a **batch of pillar data** from the frontend
2. Iterate and update/create them in the `update()` method
3. Use the `survey_id` as the route model or parameter to link pillars

### ✅ Route (still using `update`, but structured for bulk)

Route::put('/admin/surveys/{survey}/pillars', [AdminPillarController::class, 'update'])
    ->name('admin.pillars.update');

> This avoids creating a separate method like `updateAll`.

### ✅ Controller: `update()` method in `AdminPillarController`

public function update(Request $request, $surveyId)
{
    $request->validate([
        'pillars' => 'required|array|size:5',
        'pillars.*.id' => 'nullable|exists:pillars,id',
        'pillars.*.titles' => 'required|array',
        'pillars.*.weight' => 'required|numeric',
        'pillars.*.position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    $updated = [];

    foreach ($request->pillars as $pillarData) {
        if (!empty($pillarData['id'])) {
            // Update existing
            $pillar = AppModelsPillar::where('survey_id', $surveyId)->findOrFail($pillarData['id']);
            $pillar->update([
                'weight' => $pillarData['weight'],
                'position' => $pillarData['position'],
            ]);
        } else {
            // Create new
            $pillar = AppModelsPillar::create([
                'survey_id' => $surveyId,
                'weight' => $pillarData['weight'],
                'position' => $pillarData['position'],
            ]);
        }

        // Translations (if applicable)
        foreach ($pillarData['titles'] as $lang => $title) {
            AppModelsPillarTranslation::updateOrCreate(
                ['pillar_id' => $pillar->id, 'language_code' => $lang],
                ['title' => $title]
            );
        }

        $updated[] = [
            'id' => $pillar->id,
            'titles' => $pillarData['titles'],
            'weight' => $pillar->weight,
            'position' => $pillar->position,
        ];
    }

    return response()->json([
        'success' => true,
        'pillars' => $updated,
    ]);
}

### ✅ Update Vue fetch call

In your `submitPillers()` method (Vue):

fetch(`{{ route('admin.pillars.update', ['survey' => ':id']) }}`.replace(':id', this.survey_id), {
  method: 'PUT',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-CSRF-TOKEN': csrfToken
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    pillars: this.pillers
  })
})

### ✅ Summary

| Feature | Value |
|——————–|——————————-|
| Single controller | `AdminPillarController@update` |
| Route name | `admin.pillars.update` |
| Bulk support | ✅ (handles multiple pillars) |
| Translation ready | ✅ (via `pillar_translations`) |

Let me know if you're not using a separate `pillar_translations` table — I can give a version with translations stored in the main table (`title_en`, `title_de`, etc.).

User
updated step 2
Assistant
Here’s the **updated Step 2** Vue + Blade code for your survey form, refactored to work with the backend `update()` method of `AdminPillarController`, using a bulk `PUT` request and keeping the logic consistent with translation titles and exactly 5 pillars:

### ✅ Updated Step 2 Blade Template
Replace your current **Step 2** block with the following:

<!-- Step 2 -->
<div v-if="step === 2">
  <h4>{{ __('Edit Pillars') }}</h4>

  <div v-for="(piller, index) in pillers" :key="index" class="p-3 mb-3 border rounded">
    <div class="form-row align-items-end">
      <div class="col-12 mb-2">
        <h5>{{ __('Pillar') }} @{{ index + 1 }}</h5>
      </div>

      <div v-for="lang in availableLanguages" :key="lang.code" class="col-md-4 mb-3">
        <label>{{ __('Title') }} (@{{ lang.code.toUpperCase() }})</label>
        <input type="text"
               v-model="piller.titles[lang.code]"
               class="form-control"
               :placeholder="`Enter title in ${lang.code}`">
      </div>

      <div class="col-md-2 mb-3">
        <label>{{ __('Weight') }}</label>
        <input type="number"
               v-model="piller.weight"
               class="form-control"
               placeholder="e.g. 1">
      </div>

      <div class="col-md-2 mb-3">
        <label>{{ __('Position') }}</label>
        <input type="number"
               v-model="piller.position"
               class="form-control"
               placeholder="e.g. 1">
      </div>

      <div class="col-md-1 mb-3 d-flex align-items-end" v-if="pillers.length > 1">
        <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" @click="removePiller(index)">
          <i class="fa fa-trash"></i>
        </button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="form-row mt-3">
    <div class="col-auto">
      <button class="btn btn-primary" @click="addPiller" :disabled="pillers.length >= 5">
        {{ __('Add More Pillars') }}
      </button>
    </div>
    <div class="col-auto">
      <button class="btn btn-success" @click="submitPillers">
        <span v-if="loading" class="spinner-border spinner-border-sm"></span>
        {{ __('Save and Next') }}
      </button>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

### ✅ Updated `submitPillers()` Method (Vue)

submitPillers() {
  if (this.pillers.length !== 5) {
    Swal.fire('Validation Error', 'You must add exactly 5 Pillars to continue.', 'warning');
    return;
  }

  // Validate each pillar
  for (let [i, piller] of this.pillers.entries()) {
    for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
      if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
        Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Pillar ${i + 1}: Title required for ${lang.title}`, 'error');
        return;
      }
    }
    if (!piller.weight || !piller.position) {
      Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Pillar ${i + 1}: Weight and Position are required`, 'error');
      return;
    }
  }

  const data = {
    pillars: this.pillers
  };

  this.loading = true;
  fetch(`{{ route('admin.pillars.update', ['survey' => ':id']) }}`.replace(':id', this.survey_id), {
    method: 'PUT',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'X-CSRF-TOKEN': csrfToken
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(data)
  })
    .then(res => res.json().then(json => ({ status: res.status, body: json })))
    .then(({ status, body }) => {
      if (status === 200 && body.success) {
        this.pillers = body.pillars; // ensure latest IDs returned
        Swal.fire({
          icon: 'success',
          title: "{{ __('Pillars updated successfully!') }}",
          showConfirmButton: false,
          timer: 1500
        });
        this.step = 3;
      } else {
        Swal.fire({
          icon: 'error',
          title: "{{ __('Validation Error') }}",
          text: body.message || "{{ __('Please check your input.') }}"
        });
      }
    })
    .catch(() => {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'error',
        title: "{{ __('Unexpected Error') }}",
        text: "{{ __('Something went wrong while saving the Pillars.') }}"
      });
    })
    .finally(() => {
      this.loading = false;
    });
}

This updated Step 2:
– Limits to exactly **5 Pillars**
– Initializes `titles` per language
– Submits to the `admin.pillars.update` route via `PUT`
– Works whether IDs exist (update) or not (create)

Let me know if you’d like to **visually reorder Pillars via drag & drop** or enforce **position uniqueness**!

User
update controller function
Assistant
Here’s the **updated `update()` method** for your `AdminPillarController`, matching your frontend Step 2 implementation that sends **exactly 5 pillars** with multilingual titles:

### ✅ `update()` Method – `AdminPillarController.php`

use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use AppModelsPillar;
use AppModelsPillarTranslation;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesDB;

public function update(Request $request, $surveyId)
{
    $request->validate([
        'pillars' => 'required|array|size:5',
        'pillars.*.id' => 'nullable|exists:pillars,id',
        'pillars.*.titles' => 'required|array',
        'pillars.*.weight' => 'required|numeric',
        'pillars.*.position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    $updated = [];

    DB::beginTransaction();

    try {
        foreach ($request->pillars as $pillarData) {
            // Create or update Pillar
            $pillar = isset($pillarData['id'])
                ? Pillar::where('survey_id', $surveyId)->findOrFail($pillarData['id'])
                : new Pillar(['survey_id' => $surveyId]);

            $pillar->weight = $pillarData['weight'];
            $pillar->position = $pillarData['position'];
            $pillar->survey_id = $surveyId;
            $pillar->save();

            // Sync translations (or save directly if using JSON column)
            foreach ($pillarData['titles'] as $lang => $title) {
                PillarTranslation::updateOrCreate(
                    [
                        'pillar_id' => $pillar->id,
                        'language_code' => $lang,
                    ],
                    [
                        'title' => $title,
                    ]
                );
            }

            $updated[] = [
                'id' => $pillar->id,
                'titles' => $pillarData['titles'],
                'weight' => $pillar->weight,
                'position' => $pillar->position,
            ];
        }

        DB::commit();

        return response()->json([
            'success' => true,
            'pillars' => $updated,
        ]);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        DB::rollBack();

        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'Failed to update pillars: ' . $e->getMessage(),
        ], 500);
    }
}

### ✅ Notes:
– Assumes you're using a separate `pillar_translations` table.
– If you're storing titles as JSON in the `pillars` table, let me know — I’ll adjust the translation part.
– You can also add logic to **delete old unused pillars** (not in the incoming array) if needed.

Let me know if you want to:
– Include `created_by`/`updated_by` metadata
– Soft delete missing pillars
– Validate unique `position` per pillar or per survey

User
Missing required parameter for [Route: admin.pillars.update] [URI: admin/pillars/{pillar}] [Missing parameter: pillar
Assistant
The error message you're seeing:

> **Missing required parameter for [Route: admin.pillars.update] [URI: admin/pillars/{pillar}] [Missing parameter: pillar]**

…means you're trying to use the **default `update()` route**, which expects a **single pillar ID** (like `admin/pillars/5`), but you're actually submitting **multiple pillars** in one go.

### ✅ The Fix

You **should not use** the default `update()` resource route (`admin/pillars/{pillar}`) for batch updates.

Instead, define a **custom route** that looks like this:

### ✅ In `web.php`

Route::put('/admin/surveys/{survey}/pillars', [AdminPillarController::class, 'updateAll'])
    ->name('admin.pillars.updateAll');

### ✅ In Vue (Update `submitPillers()`)

Update your fetch URL:

fetch(`{{ route('admin.pillars.updateAll', ['survey' => ':id']) }}`.replace(':id', this.survey_id), {
  method: 'PUT',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-CSRF-TOKEN': csrfToken
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ pillars: this.pillers })
})

### ✅ In Controller

Rename the method:

public function updateAll(Request $request, $surveyId)

👉 If you still want to **keep it named `update()`**, you must:
– Change your route URI to something like `admin/surveys/{survey}/pillars`
– And set a **custom name** (`admin.pillars.update`), overriding the default Laravel resource route

### ❌ Don't Use This

route('admin.pillars.update')

That route expects a single `pillar` parameter:

/admin/pillars/{pillar}

Which won’t work for bulk updates.

Let me know if you want to **rename the method back to `update()`** or keep it **as `updateAll()`** for clarity.

User
make delete pillar item
Assistant
To support deleting a single **Pillar** from your survey step form, follow the guide below. This includes both the **frontend (Vue)** and **backend (Laravel)** setup.

## ✅ 1. Add Delete Route in Laravel

In `routes/web.php`:

Route::delete('/admin/pillars/{pillar}', [AdminPillarController::class, 'destroy'])->name('admin.pillars.destroy');

## ✅ 2. Add `destroy()` Method in `AdminPillarController`

public function destroy($id)
{
    $pillar = Pillar::findOrFail($id);

    // Optionally delete related translations and questions
    $pillar->translations()->delete(); // if you use a translations table
    $pillar->questions()->delete();    // if pillar has many questions

    $pillar->delete();

    return response()->json(['success' => true, 'message' => 'Pillar deleted successfully.']);
}

## ✅ 3. Update Vue Template (Add Delete Button in Step 2)

Inside your loop over `pillers` in Step 2:

<div class="col-md-1 mb-3 d-flex align-items-end" v-if="pillers.length > 1">
  <button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" @click="deletePiller(piller.id, index)">
    <i class="fa fa-trash"></i>
  </button>
</div>

## ✅ 4. Add `deletePiller()` Method in Vue

deletePiller(id, index) {
  if (!id) {
    // Not saved to backend yet, just remove from local list
    this.pillers.splice(index, 1);
    return;
  }

  Swal.fire({
    title: 'Are you sure?',
    text: "This will permanently delete the pillar and its questions!",
    icon: 'warning',
    showCancelButton: true,
    confirmButtonColor: '#d33',
    confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!'
  }).then((result) => {
    if (result.isConfirmed) {
      fetch(`{{ route('admin.pillars.destroy', ['pillar' => ':id']) }}`.replace(':id', id), {
        method: 'DELETE',
        headers: {
          'X-CSRF-TOKEN': csrfToken
        }
      })
        .then(res => res.json())
        .then(data => {
          if (data.success) {
            this.pillers.splice(index, 1);
            delete this.questions[id]; // clean up related questions
            Swal.fire('Deleted!', data.message, 'success');
          } else {
            Swal.fire('Error', data.message || 'Failed to delete pillar.', 'error');
          }

## ✅ Optional: Soft Delete Support

If you're using `SoftDeletes`, replace `->delete()` with `->forceDelete()` if needed.

Let me know if you also want to:
– Prevent deleting if questions exist
– Allow undo/delete-restore behavior
– Update positions after deletion

User
keep for new item
Assistant
To support both:

– **Soft removal** of new (unsaved) pillars using `removePiller(index)`
– **Permanent deletion** of saved pillars using `deletePiller(id, index)`

…you can conditionally choose the right method inside your delete button.

### ✅ Replace your “ with:

<div class="col-md-1 mb-3 d-flex align-items-end">
  <button
    class="btn btn-danger btn-sm"
    :title="piller.id ? 'Delete from DB' : 'Remove unsaved Pillar'"
    @click="piller.id ? deletePiller(piller.id, index) : removePiller(index)">
    <i class="fa fa-trash"></i>
  </button>
</div>

### ✅ Explanation

| Case | Action |
|——|——–|
| `piller.id` exists | The item is saved in DB → call `deletePiller(id, index)` |
| No `piller.id` yet | It's a new unsaved row → call `removePiller(index)` |

This approach keeps the UI consistent, showing the delete icon for **all** items — but applies the correct logic based on whether the item exists in the database.

Let me know if you’d also like to confirm deletion only for DB items (with SweetAlert), but skip confirmation for unsaved rows.

step 3 question update laravel code
Assistant
Here's the **Laravel backend code** to update all **questions** for a survey (Step 3), supporting:

– Multiple **questions per pillar**
– **Multilingual titles**
– Replacing or syncing existing questions

## ✅ Step 3: Laravel Route

In `routes/web.php`:

Route::put('/admin/surveys/{survey}/questions', [AdminQuestionController::class, 'updateAll'])
    ->name('admin.questions.updateAll');

## ✅ Controller Method – `AdminQuestionController`

use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use AppModelsQuestion;
use AppModelsQuestionTranslation;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesDB;

public function updateAll(Request $request, $surveyId)
{
    $request->validate([
        'questions' => 'required|array|min:1',
        'questions.*.piller_id' => 'required|exists:pillars,id',
        'questions.*.titles' => 'required|array',
        'questions.*.position' => 'required|integer',
    ]);

    DB::beginTransaction();

    try {
        $questionIds = [];

        foreach ($request->questions as $data) {
            // Create or update question (you can use ID if provided)
            $question = Question::create([
                'piller_id' => $data['piller_id'],
                'position' => $data['position'],
            ]);

            // Translations
            foreach ($data['titles'] as $lang => $title) {
                QuestionTranslation::updateOrCreate(
                    [
                        'question_id' => $question->id,
                        'language_code' => $lang,
                    ],
                    [
                        'title' => $title,
                    ]
                );
            }

            $questionIds[] = $question->id;
        }

        // Optionally, delete old questions not in this batch for the same survey
        // Question::whereIn('piller_id', Pillar::where('survey_id', $surveyId)->pluck('id'))->whereNotIn('id', $questionIds)->delete();

        DB::commit();

        return response()->json(['success' => true]);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        DB::rollBack();

        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'Failed to save questions: ' . $e->getMessage()
        ], 500);
    }
}

## ✅ Expected Frontend Payload

The Vue app should send:

{
  "questions": [
    {
      "piller_id": 1,
      "titles": {
        "en": "Question in English",
        "de": "Frage auf Deutsch"
      },
      "position": 1
    },
    ...
  ]
}

## ✅ Notes

– You can optionally **clear old questions** not included in the update.
– Adjust for soft deletes if you're using them.
– If you're editing existing questions, you can accept `id` and call `update()` instead of always `create()`.

Let me know if you want to:
– Enable full **sync** (delete removed questions)
– Handle **editing existing questions** with `id`
– Validate uniqueness of position per pillar

User
submitQuestion
Assistant
Here’s the complete and updated `submitQuestions()` method in Vue (Step 3) for submitting all questions **per pillar**, supporting:

– Multiple questions per pillar
– Multilingual titles
– Validation
– Submission to a Laravel `PUT` endpoint like `admin.questions.updateAll`

### ✅ `submitQuestions()` – Vue

submitQuestions() {
  const payload = {
    questions: []
  };

  // Loop through each pillar and its questions
  for (let piller of this.pillers) {
    const list = this.questions[piller.id] || [];

    if (list.length < 1) {
      Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Please add at least 1 question for "${piller.titles.en}"`, 'warning');
      return;
    }

    for (let q of list) {
      // Validate titles
      for (let lang of this.availableLanguages) {
        if (!q.titles[lang.code]) {
          Swal.fire('Validation Error', `All languages required for a question in "${piller.titles.en}"`, 'error');
          return;
        }
      }

      // Validate position
      if (!q.position) {
        Swal.fire('Validation Error', `Position is required for a question in "${piller.titles.en}"`, 'error');
        return;
      }

      payload.questions.push({
        piller_id: piller.id,
        titles: q.titles,
        position: q.position
      });
    }
  }

  this.loading = true;

  fetch(`{{ route('admin.questions.updateAll', ['survey' => ':id']) }}`.replace(':id', this.survey_id), {
    method: "PUT",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "X-CSRF-TOKEN": csrfToken
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(payload)
  })
    .then(res => res.json().then(json => ({ status: res.status, body: json })))
    .then(({ status, body }) => {
      if (status === 200 && body.success) {
        Swal.fire({
          icon: 'success',
          title: "{{ __('Questions saved successfully!') }}",
          showConfirmButton: false,
          timer: 1500
        });
        window.location.href = "{{ route('admin.surveys.index') }}";
      } else {
        Swal.fire({
          icon: 'error',
          title: "{{ __('Validation Error') }}",
          text: body.message || "{{ __('Please check your input.') }}"
        });
      }
    })
    .catch(() => {
      Swal.fire({
        icon: 'error',
        title: "{{ __('Unexpected Error') }}",
        text: "{{ __('Something went wrong while saving the questions.') }}"
      });
    })
    .finally(() => {
      this.loading = false;
    });
}

### 🧠 Bonus Tips

– 🔁 You can enhance this by tracking existing question IDs for updates instead of always inserting new ones.
– 📦 If the backend returns updated question IDs, map them back to Vue's `this.questions` for further editing.

Let me know if you want to support **editing individual questions later**, or need the backend to support **update-or-create** logic!

User
but how questions have own ids
Assistant
Great question! If you're **updating questions** (not just creating new ones), each question should have an `id` — and the frontend must **send the `id`** in the payload so the backend knows whether to `update` or `create`.

### ✅ Step-by-step plan to support `id` per question

### 🟢 1. Update your Vue questions structure to **store `id`** (if present)

When loading existing questions (Step 3), ensure they include `id`:

questions: {
  1: [ // piller_id
    {
      id: 101,
      titles: { en: 'Title EN', de: 'Titel DE' },
      position: 1
    }
  ]
}

### 🟢 2. Include `id` in the payload when submitting:

Update this in `submitQuestions()`:

payload.questions.push({
  id: q.id || null, // include id if present
  piller_id: piller.id,
  titles: q.titles,
  position: q.position
});

### 🟢 3. Update Laravel Controller to handle create or update

In your `AdminQuestionController@updateAll`:

foreach ($request->questions as $data) {
    if (!empty($data['id'])) {
        // Update existing
        $question = Question::findOrFail($data['id']);
        $question->update([
            'position' => $data['position'],
        ]);
    } else {
        // New question
        $question = Question::create([
            'piller_id' => $data['piller_id'],
            'position' => $data['position'],
        ]);
    }

    // Sync translations
    foreach ($data['titles'] as $lang => $title) {
        QuestionTranslation::updateOrCreate(
            ['question_id' => $question->id, 'language_code' => $lang],
            ['title' => $title]
        );
    }

    $updatedIds[] = $question->id;
}

### 🟢 4. Optional: Send updated question IDs back to frontend

So Vue can update its state with newly created IDs:

return response()->json([
    'success' => true,
    'updated_question_ids' => $updatedIds
]);

### ✅ Summary

| Frontend | Backend |
|———-|———|
| Send `id` for each question if exists | Use `findOrFail($id)` for update |
| Use `q.id || null` when preparing payload | Call `create()` when `id` is empty |

Would you like help modifying the question creation logic in Vue to store the returned IDs after submission?

Here's the **full `updateAll` method** for your `AdminQuestionController`, fully supporting:

✅ Existing **question updates**
✅ New **question creation**
✅ **Multilingual titles**
✅ Clean structure to handle bulk updates
✅ Returns updated question IDs if needed

### ✅ `AdminQuestionController@updateAll`

use IlluminateHttpRequest;

use AppModelsQuestionTranslation;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesDB;

public function updateAll(Request $request, $surveyId)
{
    $request->validate([

        'questions.*.position' => 'required|integer',
        'questions.*.id' => 'nullable|integer|exists:questions,id'
    ]);

    DB::beginTransaction();

    try {
        $updatedQuestions = [];

        foreach ($request->questions as $data) {
            // Update or create question

                $question = Question::create([
                    'piller_id' => $data['piller_id'],
                    'position' => $data['position'],
                ]);
            }

            // Update or create translations
            foreach ($data['titles'] as $lang => $title) {
                QuestionTranslation::updateOrCreate(
                    [
                        'question_id' => $question->id,
                        'language_code' => $lang
                    ],
                    [
                        'title' => $title
                    ]
                );
            }

            $updatedQuestions[] = [
                'id' => $question->id,
                'piller_id' => $question->piller_id,
                'position' => $question->position,
                'titles' => $data['titles']
            ];
        }

        DB::commit();

        return response()->json([
            'success' => true,
            'questions' => $updatedQuestions
        ]);
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        DB::rollBack();

        return response()->json([
            'success' => false,
            'message' => 'Failed to update questions: ' . $e->getMessage()
        ], 500);
    }
}

### ✅ Notes:

– This handles both **create** and **update** of questions in a single request.
– Translations are updated via a related `question_translations` table (adjust if you store JSON titles instead).
– If needed, you can later implement logic to **delete missing questions** that are no longer present in the request (sync style).

Let me know if:
– You need to **sync** (delete removed questions)
– You store multilingual titles in the `questions` table itself (e.g., `title_en`, `title_de`)
– You want to track who updated/created each question (`created_by`, `updated_by`)

User
when survey name is empty by user then disable step 2 and 3 tab
Assistant
To **disable Step 2 and 3 tabs** when the survey name is empty, simply bind the `disabled` class on the tab links based on `survey.name` in Vue.

### ✅ Modify Your Tab Navigation HTML (Step 1, 2, 3)

Update your tabs to this:

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" :class="{ active: step === 1 }" href="#" @click.prevent="goToStep(1)">
      1. Survey
    </a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link"
       :class="{ active: step === 2, disabled: !survey.name.trim() }"
       href="#"
       @click.prevent="survey.name.trim() && goToStep(2)">
      2. Pillars
    </a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link"
       :class="{ active: step === 3, disabled: !survey.name.trim() || pillers.length === 0 }"
       href="#"
       @click.prevent="survey.name.trim() && pillers.length && goToStep(3)">
      3. Questions
    </a>
  </li>
</ul>

### ✅ Explanation

– `survey.name.trim()` ensures the name isn’t just spaces
– Tab 2 is disabled unless survey name is filled
– Tab 3 is disabled unless survey name is filled **and** at least one pillar exists

Let me know if you want the tabs **visually greyed out** with Bootstrap styling or tooltips saying "Please fill out the survey name first"!

User
by default show 1 question tilrle, poation when no record exist or
Assistant
To **always show at least one question input block by default** when a pillar is selected (even if no existing questions are present), update your `onPillerChange()` method like this:

### ✅ Updated `onPillerChange()` Method (Vue)

onPillerChange() {
  if (!this.selectedPillerId) return;

  // If there are no questions yet for this pillar, initialize with one
  if (!this.questions[this.selectedPillerId] || this.questions[this.selectedPillerId].length === 0) {
    const newQuestion = {
      id: null, // in case you support editing
      titles: {},
      position: ''
    };

    this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
      newQuestion.titles[lang.code] = '';
    });

    this.questions[this.selectedPillerId] = [newQuestion];
  }
}

### ✅ When It Triggers

This will fire when the user selects a pillar in Step 3, ensuring the UI is **never blank**, and gives the user an immediate input form to add their first question.

You already have this in your dropdown:

<select v-model="selectedPillerId" class="form-control" @change="onPillerChange">

So nothing else needs to change.

✅ Now when a user picks a pillar in Step 3 and there are no questions yet, they'll always see a blank input row for:
– all languages (based on `availableLanguages`)
– position field

Let me know if you'd like to auto-fill the `position` (e.g., incrementally) for convenience!

User
in create blade page
Assistant
To show **1 default blank question block** when no existing questions are present (on **create** Blade page), you just need to tweak the Vue `mounted()` and `onPillerChange()` logic.

Here's how you can do it:

### ✅ 1. Update `mounted()` in Vue to auto-trigger question init

In your Vue app, inside the `mounted()` hook:

mounted() {
  // Initialize piller titles
  this.pillers.forEach(piller => {
    this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
      if (!piller.titles[lang.code]) {
        piller.titles[lang.code] = '';
      }
    });
  });

  // Automatically select the first piller if exists
  if (this.pillers.length > 0) {
    this.selectedPillerId = this.pillers[0].id;
    this.onPillerChange();
  }
}

### ✅ 2. Updated `onPillerChange()` method

onPillerChange() {
  if (!this.selectedPillerId) return;

  // If no questions exist yet, add one default
  if (!this.questions[this.selectedPillerId] || this.questions[this.selectedPillerId].length === 0) {
    const newQuestion = {
      id: null,
      titles: {},
      position: ''
    };

    this.availableLanguages.forEach(lang => {
      newQuestion.titles[lang.code] = '';
    });

    this.questions[this.selectedPillerId] = [newQuestion];
  }
}

### ✅ What This Does:

– When the form loads, if Step 3 is reached or the first piller is auto-selected:
– It **automatically shows one blank question row**
– This gives users a consistent UI experience even when creating a new survey from scratch.

Let me know if you'd also like to:
– Auto-assign default position numbers (like 1, 2, 3…)
– Prevent empty submissions with at least 1 question per pillar validation on backend
