Update Fields Using Checkbox - Laravel

Question

I have a User Registration form, where I make available the options to select several options in Checkbox.

Registration - Sports Practice: Football, Volleyball, Swimming and etc. (Users can select several).

I’m having trouble updating records, because I need to show the fields that can be filled in the update and mark the previously chosen ones.

In the section below I only display the available items. I need to pick up the marked entry and mark as checked.

View

           @foreach ($esportesas $item)
              <label class="col-md-12 col-xs-12">
               <input name="areas[]" value="{{ $item->id }}" type="checkbox">{{
                     ($item->area)
                   }}
               </label>
               @endforeach
              </label>
            @endforeach  

Controller

 public function edit($id)
 {
     /* Dados Cadastrados */
     /* Aqui utilizo um relacionamento via Eloquent utilizo Foreach para fazer a Interação Ex: 

     foreach ($dados->esportes as $value) {
        var_dump($value->id)
     }

     */
    $dados = Usuarios::find($id);



     /* Lista de Esportes Cadastrados para Gerar View */
     $esportes = Esportes::all();

     return view('/edit', compact('dados', 'esportes'));

  }

The easiest way I think would be to use the Laravel Collective (however it is being reshaped temporarily is out)

But we go in the most manual form:

    @foreach ($esportesas $item)
    <label class="col-md-12 col-xs-12">
        @if (in_array($item->id, $arrayJaSalvoNoBanco))
            <input name="areas[]" value="{{ $item->id }}" type="checkbox" checked>
        @else
            <input name="areas[]" value="{{ $item->id }}" type="checkbox" >
        @endif
        {{($item->area)}}
    </label>
    @endforeach
</label>
@endforeach  

Here I am using the in_array(); to check whether the id of the loop of foreach is contained in the array $arrayJaSalvoNoBanco.

Where the $arrayJaSalvoNoBanco would be an array containing the id’s that were already saved in the database for this update in question.

OBS.: The $arrayJaSalvoNoBanco is just one example.

Test there and see if it works.
