Finding ID from related model Laravel - arrays

Question

I am working with three models:
User Model
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array<int, string>
*/
protected $table = 'users';
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
'group'
];
...
public function permission()
{
return $this->hasMany(Permission::class);
}
}
Profile Model
class Profile extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'profiles';
protected $fillable = [
'profile_name',
'first_name',
'last_name',
'profile_type',
'TFN',
'ABN',
'ACN',
'Address',
'Email',
'Phone',
'established_date',
'Notes',
'activated'
];
...
public function permission()
{
return $this->hasMany(Permission::class);
}
}
Permission Model
class Permission extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $table = 'permissions';
protected $fillable = [
'profile_id',
'user_id'
];
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
public function profile()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Profile::class);
}
}
Any user can have access to 0 or many profiles
Any profile can have permission given to 0 or many users
On the users.edit blade template I am creating toggle buttons to add/remove profile permissions for the selected user, using the permissions.store and permissions.destroy routes. Creating a new permission is working as expected, however I am having trouble accessing the permission id (marked **** in blade snippet) in order to trigger the destroy function.
User Controller
public function edit(User $user, Profile $profile, Permission $permission)
{
$perm = Permission::where([
['user_id', '=', $user->id],
])->pluck('profile_id', 'id')->toArray();
return view('users.edit', compact('perm'))
->with('user', $user)
->with('profiles', Profile::all());
}
Permission Controller
public function destroy(Permission $permission, User $user, Profile $profile)
{
$permission = Permission::where('user_id', '=', $user->id)
->where('profile_id', '=', $profile->id)
->firstOrFail();
$permission->delete();
return redirect()->back();
}
Blade snippet
#foreach($profiles as $key => $profile)
#if(in_array($profile->id, $perm))
<form action="{{ route('permissions.destroy', **** ) }}" method="POST" >
#csrf
#method('DELETE')
<input type="hidden" value="{{ $user->id }}" name="user_id" id="user_id" />
<input type="hidden" value="{{ $profile->id }}" name="profile_id" id="profile_id" />
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">{{ $profile->profile_name }}</button>
</form>
#else
<form action="{{ route('permissions.store') }}" method="POST" >
#csrf
<input type="hidden" value="{{ $user->id }}" name="user_id" id="user_id" />
<input type="hidden" value="{{ $profile->id }}" name="profile_id" id="profile_id" />
<button class="btn btn-secondary" type="submit">{{ $profile->profile_name }}</button>
</form>
#endif
#endforeach
Thanks in advance
The permission ID is included in the array $perm created in the User controller, but I haven't found a way to call that value and associate it with the permission record so that I can send it to the permission.destroy route.

You can pass the permission ID as a parameter to the route in the action attribute of the form.
To do this, try replacing **** with ['permission' => array_search($profile->id, $perm)].
Here, the array_search() function is used to find the index of the profile ID in the $perm array, and the corresponding permission ID is accessed using that index. This value is then passed as a parameter named permission to the route in the form's action attribute.
