To allow Laravel Columns to be mass assignable you can make use of the protected "$fillable" property from your Laravel Model. By specifying the columns inside the fillable property you will be able to create and update multiple columns at the same time using eloquent.
To make the columns fillable you can specify the "$fillable" property like below.
Make Columns Fillabe In Laravel
To make the columns fillable you can specify the "$fillable" property like below.
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Post extends Model
{
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = ['name', 'slug', 'content', 'pubilshed_at'];
}By specifying the columns like below now you will allow the "create" and "update" method to automatically assign the columns specified with the value hence "mass-assignable".
<?php protected $fillable = ['name', 'slug', 'content', 'pubilshed_at'];
Create and Update Laravel Model
So now you can write your "create" and "update" code like the following.
<?php
use App\Models\Post;
$post = Post::create([
'name' => 'Post 1 Here',
'slug' => 'post-1-here',
'content' => 'Your post 1 content here',
'published_at' => now() // using carbon helper
]);
// Let's assume the code above having ID of 1For the update part, you can refer to below.
<?php
use App\Models\Post;
// Get the 1st post
$post = Post::find(1);
$post->update([
'name' => 'Post 1 UPDATED',
'slug' => 'post-1-here',
'content' => 'Your post 1 content UPDATED'
]);The code above will work as expected and won't cause mass assignable errors. Do note that every time you are putting new columns in the array to update, you will need to update your "$fillable" fields aswell.
