Notes

Write a note in this area. It's really easy to share with others. Click here ...To implement the functionality to set a specific card as the default on Stripe when clicking on it, you can modify your controller and Blade file. Below is the step-by-step implementation:

---

### **1. Modify the `CardController`**

Add a new method, `makeDefault`, to handle setting a card as the default payment method in Stripe.

```php
public function makeDefault(Request $request)
{
$stripe = new StripeStripeClient(env('STRIPE_SECRET'));

try {
// Update the customer's default payment method
$stripe->customers->update(Auth::user()->stripe_customer_id, [
'invoice_settings' => [
'default_payment_method' => $request->payment_method_id,
],
]);

return redirect()->route('cards.index')->with('success', 'Default card updated successfully.');
} catch (Exception $e) {
return redirect()->route('cards.index')->with('error', 'Failed to update default card: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
}
```

---

### **2. Update the Blade File**

Add a button or link to trigger the `makeDefault` functionality for each card. Use a form to send the `payment_method_id` to the `makeDefault` route.

Update your `Actions` column in the Blade file:

```blade
<td>
<form action="{{ route('make.default.card') }}" method="POST" style="display:inline;">
@csrf
<input type="hidden" name="payment_method_id" value="{{ $card->id }}" />
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" style="background-color: #007bff;">Make Default</button>
</form>

<form action="{{ route('delete.card') }}" method="POST" style="display:inline;">
@csrf
<input type="hidden" name="pay_method" value="{{ $card->id }}" />
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger" style="background-color: #de163d;">Delete</button>
</form>
</td>
```

---

### **3. Define the Route**

Add a new route for the `makeDefault` method in your `web.php`:

```php
use AppHttpControllersCardController;

Route::post('/cards/make-default', [CardController::class, 'makeDefault'])->name('make.default.card');
```

---

### **4. Display the Default Card**

In your Blade file, you can highlight the default card by checking if it matches the `invoice_settings.default_payment_method`.

Modify your loop to include a condition for displaying the default card:

```blade
@foreach($existingCard->data as $card)
<tr style="{{ $card->id == Auth::user()->default_payment_method ? 'background-color: #d4edda;' : '' }}">
<td>{{ $card->card->brand }}</td>
<td>{{ $card->card->last4 }}</td>
<td>{{ $card->card->exp_month }}</td>
<td>{{ $card->card->exp_year }}</td>
<td>
@if($card->id == Auth::user()->default_payment_method)
<span class="badge badge-success">Default</span>
@else
<form action="{{ route('make.default.card') }}" method="POST" style="display:inline;">
@csrf
<input type="hidden" name="payment_method_id" value="{{ $card->id }}" />
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" style="background-color: #007bff;">Make Default</button>
</form>
@endif

<form action="{{ route('delete.card') }}" method="POST" style="display:inline;">
@csrf
<input type="hidden" name="pay_method" value="{{ $card->id }}" />
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger" style="background-color: #de163d;">Delete</button>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
```

---

### **5. Update the User Model (Optional)**

If you want to store the default payment method in your database, you can update the user's record when setting the default card:

```php
public function makeDefault(Request $request)
{
$stripe = new StripeStripeClient(env('STRIPE_SECRET'));

try {
// Update the customer's default payment method
$stripe->customers->update(Auth::user()->stripe_customer_id, [
'invoice_settings' => [
'default_payment_method' => $request->payment_method_id,
],
]);

// Optionally update the user's default payment method in your database
Auth::user()->update(['default_payment_method' => $request->payment_method_id]);

return redirect()->route('cards.index')->with('success', 'Default card updated successfully.');
} catch (Exception $e) {
return redirect()->route('cards.index')->with('error', 'Failed to update default card: ' . $e->getMessage());
}
}
```

---

### **6. Update the Database (Optional)**

If you're storing the default payment method in your database, ensure your users table has a `default_payment_method` column:

```php
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->string('default_payment_method')->nullable();
});
```

---

This setup will allow you to click a button on any card to make it the default both on Stripe and in your Laravel application.
