Changing values of laravel inputs

Question

First of all, i have read and tried what's on this post : Laravel change input value

My goal is to change some inputs' values on page load, but i am doing wrong somewhere.

i.e. I have some inputs filled by user lately, now i want them to edit these fields. So i need to pull some data from database and insert these into my inputs.

navTabs.js

$(document).ready(function(){
   $('#myTab a').on(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).tab('show');
    },myOnLoadFunction());
}

function myOnLoadFunction(){
   $.post('myRoute');
}

Routes.php :

Route::post('myRoute', array(
    'uses' => 'MyController@myMethod',
    'as' => 'myRoute'
));

MyController.php

public function myMethod(){
   Input::merge(array('myInputName' => 'theValueFromDatabase'));
}

So, i am making a mistake somewhere, but i couldn't find it out.
Everything works fine on test until myMethod i can get responses.
Am I using merge method wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE

MyController.php

public function myMethod(){
   Input::merge(array('myInputName' => 'theValueFromDatabase'));
   //i have nearly 15 inputs here, assigning each of them one by one.
   $allVariablesWithNewInput = \Input::all();
   return Response::json($allVariablesWithNewInput);
}

Now this value is being returned to navTabs.js

function myOnLoadFunction(){
   $.post('myRoute', function(data){
      document.getElementById('myFieldID').value = data['myInputName'];
      //and assign 15 more inputs here to see values on html elements.
   });
}

First of all, thank you for your patience. We figured out to find a solution to my problem with this way. But i am not satisfied with this solution. I'm going to have to write a lot of code here. Is there any way to reduce repetition ? Do you offer an algorithm or something else ?

Thank you.

@AbishekRSrikaanth do you mean returning Input::get('inputname') ? I'll try this one. — saimcan

After calling \Input::merge() have you tried calling \Input::get() doesn't it give you the merged array?

Because \Input::merge() only adds the new set of input parameters that you pass and not return anything.

Let me know if this works:

public function myMethod(){
   Input::merge(array('myInputName' => 'theValueFromDatabase'));
   $newInputVariables = \Input::get('myInputName');
   $allVariablesWithNewInput = \Input::all();
}

this one works. Also returning values with return Response::json(Input::all()); I've updated the post.

I see some errors which you should fix and maybe it will help.

Javascript

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#myTab a').on('this needs an event', function (e) {  // 'click' maybe?
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).tab('show');
    },myOnLoadFunction);  // Shouldn't put paranethesis
}

function myOnLoadFunction(){
      $.post('myRoute');
}

You likely aren't getting a response however because you aren't actually returning anything from your method. If you are wanting to get json, try return Response::json(Input::all());
