Laravel form model binding and html input fields

Question

I am using Form Model Binding in Laravel for my update views in order to achieve the priority 1. Session Flash Data (Old Input) 2. Explicitly Passed Value 3. Model Attribute Data

{{ Form::model($model, array('url' => $route.'/update/'.$model->id)) }}
{{ Form::label('price', trans_choice('app.price', 1), array('id' => 'price_label')) }}
{{ Form::text('price', null, array('id' => 'price')) }}

This works fine but I would like to do the same without using the blade notation for input fiels, that is I would like to replace

{{ Form::text('price', null, array('id' => 'price')) }}

with

<input type="text" name="price" id="price" value="">

but still get the above-mentioned priority, is this possible?

You can try to use this:

<input id="price" name="price" type="text" value="{{{ Form::getValueAttribute('price', null) }}}">

This is the function called by Form::text to replace the value.

Laravel 4 Form::getValueAttribute function:

/**
 * Get the value that should be assigned to the field.
 *
 * @param  string  $name
 * @param  string  $value
 * @return string
 */
public function getValueAttribute($name, $value = null)
{
    if (is_null($name)) return $value;

    if ( ! is_null($this->old($name)))
    {
        return $this->old($name);
    }

    if ( ! is_null($value)) return $value;

    if (isset($this->model))
    {
        return $this->getModelValueAttribute($name);
    }
}

Thanks for your suggestion but this will actually overwrite the model's default value

It will not overwrite the model's default value... it is actually the function used by the model to set a value.
