Question

I don't want to make my controllers to heavy for that I am asking for this . When I have been saving form submissions into db where I should put my saving function ? in controller or model?

Answer 1

Laravel has something called Mass Assignment . It let's you pass an associative array and fills the model with those values. To make it work you have to define all the attributes you want to be able to mass assign in your model:

protected $fillable = ['foo', 'bar', 'and', 'much', 'more'];

Now you can just pass an array to the constructor of the model:

$input = [
   'foo' => 'value1',
   'bar' => 'value2',
   'and' => 'value3',
   'much' => 'value4',
   'more' => 'value5',
];

$model = new Model($input);
$model->save();

Or even shorter, use the create() method which fills the model and directly saves it afterwards:

Model::create($input);

Try this..

//In Model get data from controller
public function functionname($data1, $data2){
    //query
}


//In Controller sent data to Model
$data = Modelname::functionname($data1, $data2)->get();
