How can I create a dropdown list with colored <option> elements in Laravel 5.4?
I want to create a dropdown in Laravel 5.4 that has a different background color for each item <option>
.
I have read and tried the following:
- How to load form layouts in Laravel 5
- Laravel, add various html attributes to options in dropdowns select
None of them worked for me. I always get The colorSelect method does not exist. mistake.
If I just want to use Form::macro
it says the method doesn't exist. I found several articles on creating your own macros, but none of them said where to add these macros.

You can add a macro by following these steps:
- Create a new provider called MacroServiceProvider.
-
Add your macro to the registration method.
public function register() { FormBuilder ::macro('time', function ($name, $default, $otherparams, ...) { .... } }
-
Register MacroServiceProvider in your app.config file.
'providers' => [ /* * Laravel Framework Service Providers... */ \App\Providers\MacroServiceProvider::class, 'AltThree\Bus\BusServiceProvider', 'Illuminate\Notifications\NotificationServiceProvider',
-
Run the linker dump-autoload -o on a command line open in your project folder.
-
You can now use your macro in your view files.
