Adding profile data - crud of profiles

Step 01: Adding profile add button just above of table element in list of profiles

<h2 class="float-start">All Profiles</h2>
<div class="float-end">
	<a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary" href="{{ route('profiles.create') }}"> Add Profile</a>
</div>  

Step 02: In ProfileController, adding create() method

public function create( ) {
	$meta_title = 'Add Profile';
	return view( 'profiles.create', compact( 'meta_title' ) );
} 

Step 03: Adding create.blade.php under resources/view/profiles folder and putting following snippet inside blade section directive extending app layout

<div class="container">
    <div class="row justify-content-center">
        <div class="col-md-8">
            <h2 class="float-start">Add Profile</h2>
            <div class="float-end">
                <a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary" href="{{ route('profiles.index') }}"> Back to profiles</a>
            </div>
            <div class="clearfix"></div>
            <div class="card ">
                <div class="card-body">
                    <form method="post" action="{{ route('profiles.store') }}" id="updatefrm" method="post"> 
                    @csrf 
                    <div class="form-group mb-2">
                        <label for="title">Name</label>
                        <br>
                        <input name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Profile name" title="Profile Name" type="text" id="ProductName" value="{{ old('name') }}" /> 
                        @if ($errors->has('name')) 
                        <span class="text-danger">{{ $errors->first('name') }}</span> 
                        @endif
                    </div>
                        <input class="btn btn-sm btn-primary" class="form-control" type="submit" name="action" value="Add">
                    </form>
                </div>
            </div>
    </div>
</div>
</div>
</div> 

Step 04: Creating ProfileRequest.php using artisan command for validation of form fields

php artisan make:request ProfileRequest

Step 05: Adding validation rules like below in ProfileRequest.php making sure authorize function returns true

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class ProfileRequest extends FormRequest
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [                         
            'name' => 'required'             
        ];
    }
}

Step 06: Changing Profile.php model like below adding fillable with saving fields

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Profile extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'sequence'
    ];     
}
?>

Step 07: Back in ProfileController adding store() method like below and redirecting to list page after addition

//at the top 
use App\Http\Requests\ProfileRequest;
use App\Models\Profile;

public function store( ProfileRequest $request ) {
	Profile::create([
		'name' => $request->name,
		'sequence' => ( Profile::latest('sequence')->first()->id + 1 ) // fetching last sequence value from table and adding one to it
	]);     
	
	return redirect()->route('profiles.index');
} 

Now if we fillup the create form and submit it, information with all its fields will be saved to table in the database.
