Using variable in form fields of laravel blade

Question

I am trying to use a variable in a javascript function written as onClick attribute in button element but it's not working out

The javascript function I am trying to trigger when user click on the button element

updateForm(variableHere);

Variable is $dealer->id

This is how I am trying to do

@if ($dealer->user->activated==true)
    {{ sprintf(Form::button('%s', ['class' => 'edit', 'style' => 'border: none; background: none; padding: 0px;', 'onClick' => 'updateForm(%s)']),'<i class="fa fa-eye-slash"></i>', '{{{ $dealer->id }}}')  }}
@endif
{{ Form::open(['route' => ['dealers.status', $dealer->id], 'id' => 'update-status-'.$dealer->id ]) }}
{{ Form::close() }}

but getting this when I check the element's source code

<button fa-eye-slash"="" fa="" onclick="updateForm(&lt;i class=" style="border: none; background: none; padding: 0px;" class="edit">)" type="button"&gt;<!--?php echo e($dealer--->id); ?&gt;</button>

What am I doing wrong here?

First, the data passed to sprintf is backwards. Since the data used to fill in the attributes comes before the data to place into the button element, you would need to switch the second and third parameters.

Second, attempting to pass in the dealer variable like that will actually print out the PHP code, instead of executing it, so you would need to get rid of the blade syntax surrounding it.

Third, I think a better method to do what you're looking to do is to use the HTML::decode() method, instead of sprintf:

@if ($dealer->user->activated==true)
    {{ HTML::decode(Form::button('<i class="fa fa-eye-slash"></i>', ['class' => 'edit', 'style' => 'border: none; background: none; padding: 0px;', 'onClick' => 'updateForm('.$dealer->id.')'])) }}
@endif

I just found a solution and feels like stupid

I can simple use it like this updateForm('.$dealer->id.') instead of calling sprintf function on updateForm()

so I just need to change it to this

@if ($dealer->user->activated==true)
    {{ sprintf(Form::button('%s', ['class' => 'edit', 'style' => 'border: none; background: none; padding: 0px;', 'onClick' => 'updateForm('.$dealer->id.')']),'<i class="fa fa-eye-slash"></i>')  }}
@endif
    {{ Form::open(['route' => ['dealers.status', $dealer->id], 'id' => 'update-status-'.$dealer->id ]) }}
    {{ Form::close() }}
