### Step 1: Install Laravel & Connect Database 
Run below command to create laravel project.
```
composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-boolean
```
Now, you have to connect the laravel app to the database, hence open the .env configuration file and add the database credentials as suggested below.
### .env
```php
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database_name
DB_USERNAME=database_user_name
DB_PASSWORD=database_password
```

### Step 2: Install Breeze 
Install laravel breeze via composer:
```php
composer require laravel/breeze --dev
```
Next, run below command.
```php
php artisan breeze:install
```
And final install Dependencies
```php
npm install && npm run dev 
php artisan migrate
```

### Step 3: Create Blog Modal Migration and Controller 
Run below command to create model, migration and controller
```php
php artisan make:model Blog -mcr
```
Add boolean status and give false or 1 default value.

_create_blogs_table.php_
```php
public function up()
{
    Schema::create('blogs', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('title');
        $table->text('content');
        $table->boolean('status')->default(false);
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}
```

_app/Models/Blog.php_
```php
<?php

namespace App\Models;

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

class Blog extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = [
        'title',
        'content',
        'status' 
    ];
}
```

_web.php_
```php
Route::resource('blogs', BlogController::class);
```

### Step 4:  Add Boolean value BlogController 
1.Add boolean value store using 'status' => $request->status == 'on' ? 1 : 0 

2.To use this method we need to use checkbox in blade file. 

_app/Http/Controllers/BlogController.php_
```php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Blog;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class BlogController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $blogs = Blog::all();

        return view('blogs.index', compact('blogs'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('blogs.create');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'content' => 'required'
        ]);

        $blog = Blog::create([
            'title' => $request->title,
            'content' => $request->content,
            'status' => $request->status == 'on' ? 1 : 0
        ]);


        return redirect()->route('blogs.index');
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show(Blog $blog)
    {
        return view('blogs.show', compact('blog'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(Blog $blog)
    {
        return view('blogs.edit', compact('blog'));
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, Blog $blog)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'content' => 'required'
        ]);

        $blog->update([
            'title' => $request->title,
            'content' => $request->content,
            'status' => $request->status == 'on' ? 1 : 0
        ]);

        return redirect()->route('blogs.index');
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy(Blog $blog)
    {
        $blog->delete();

        return redirect()->route('blogs.index');
    }
}
```

### Step 5: Create Blade View File 
Add input type checkbox to store boolean. 
_view/blogs/create.blade.php_
```php

    <x-slot name="header">
        <h2 class="text-xl font-semibold leading-tight text-gray-800">

### Use boolean value in laravel 9 with validation 
1.Add boolean value with validation using 'status' => 'required|boolean:0,1,true,false' 

2.To use this method we need to use radio input in blade file. 
_app/Http/Controllers/BlogController.php_
```php
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Blog;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class BlogController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $blogs = Blog::all();

        return view('blogs.index', compact('blogs'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('blogs.create');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'content' => 'required',
            'status' => 'required|boolean:0,1,true,false'
        ]);

        $blog = Blog::create([
            'title' => $request->title,
            'content' => $request->content,
            'status' => $request->status
        ]);


        return redirect()->route('blogs.index');
    }

    /**
     * Display the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function show(Blog $blog)
    {
        return view('blogs.show', compact('blog'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function edit(Blog $blog)
    {
        return view('blogs.edit', compact('blog'));
    }

    /**
     * Update the specified resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request, Blog $blog)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'title' => 'required|string|max:255',
            'content' => 'required',
            'status' => 'required|boolean:0,1,true,false'
        ]);

        $blog->update([
            'title' => $request->title,
            'content' => $request->content,
            'status' => $request->status
        ]);

        return redirect()->route('blogs.index');
    }

    /**
     * Remove the specified resource from storage.
     *
     * @param  \App\Models\Blog  $blog
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function destroy(Blog $blog)
    {
        $blog->delete();

        return redirect()->route('blogs.index');
    }
}
```

Add input type radio with value 0 and 1 or use true and false,
