如何在laravel默认身份验证注册表单中保存额外的非必填字段

Question

I am trying to customize the laravel auth registration. And I have added father name field in table and form. But father name field is not required. I added this field in registercontroller.php and in User model also. And then, if submit the form with all fields then data inserts successfully, But if I submit the form without father name field (which is not required), then error comes: f_name filed can not be null.

If I remove f_name from fillable then f_name is not saving.

Method in RegisterController.php is:

protected function create(array $data)
{
    return User::create([
        'name' => $data['name'],
        'email' => $data['email'],
        'f_name' => $data['f_name'],
        'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
    ]);
}

User.php is:

protected $fillable = [
    'name', 'email', 'f_name' , 'password',
];

Answer 1

This is because you did not make it nullable in the database.

The other thing is that you should not code like that. You should create a Request class (where you validate request) for users with php artisan make:request UserRequest in command line or terminal. See the following.

protected function create(UserRequest $userRequest)
{
   $user = new User($userRequest->all());
   $user->password => bcrypt($userRequest['password']);
   $user->save();

  // your rest of the code.

}
