Add Selected in Dropdown Option in Laravel

Question

How to add "selected" on the dropdown option in Laravel?

I am doing editing profile. In the profile I have a dropdown list, the options are pulled from database, like this.

//Controller

$gender= Gender::lists('gender', 'id');

//View

{{ Form::select('gender', $gender, null, array('class' => 'form-control')) }}

//Output

<select class="form-control" name="gender"><option value="1">Male</option><option value="2">Female</option></select>

My question: If the user is female, how to add "selected" in the female option if the user has saved female in database before, so that I can show the gender when the page is loaded?

You can set the default value at the 3rd parameter.

Assume Female id is 2

{{ Form::select('gender', $gender, 2, array('class' => 'form-control')) }}

If you already has a $user with sex_id attribute(or your sex column), You can pass it to the Form::select as well.

{{ Form::select('gender', $gender, $user->sex_id, array('class' => 'form-control')) }}
