In this episode, we start building the product edit form feature. We kick things off by setting up the routing: when you click on a product in the list, it should take you to the edit page for that specific product. To do this, we add a new route using Laravel's route model binding, so we can conveniently fetch the right product instance by its ID.
Next, we generate a new controller for handling the edit form view and wire everything together so that when you visit the edit page, the right data gets passed along. Then, we update the product list to link each product to its respective edit page.
Now for the frontend: we create a new Blade view for editing products, and—since the edit and create forms are almost identical—we start by copying over the create form. We also set up a new Livewire component specifically for editing products, making sure it receives the product data it needs (such as the current product title) and displays it.
At this point, the edit form is in place. There are a couple of little issues to tidy up—like removing some code that doesn't fit yet and making sure the button says "Edit Product" instead of "Create Product"—but overall, we've scaffolded the entire system for editing products. In the next part, we'll focus on pre-filling the form with existing product data and handling the update logic, especially when it comes to file uploads.
