Laravel Eloquent cannot insert to database

Question

I'm making an app that runs like google form using Laravel 5.7. Here is the form table that i already made:

I made an eloquent model so that each Name in Personal details table has one record that contains all these table and insert filled table into database after click submit button. The problem is, it didn't successfully inserted into database. I don't know what's the problem, here are my codes:

PersonalDetails.php (eloquent model)

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class PersonalDetails extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'personal_details';
    protected $guarded = ['id'];

public function accomodation()
{
    return $this->hasOne('App\Accomodation');
}

public function course()
{
    return $this->hasOne('App\Course');
}

public function proposedStudy()
{
    return $this->hasOne('App\ProposedStudy');
}

public function emergencyContact()
{
    return $this->hasOne('App\EmergencyContact');
}

public function englishTestResult()
{
    return $this->hasOne('App\EnglishTestResult');
}

public function homeInstitution()
{
    return $this->hasOne('App\HomeInstitution');
}

public function insurance()
{
    return $this->hasOne('App\Insurance');
}
}

FormController.php

public function submit(Request $request) {

    $request->validate([
        // Personal Details
        'fullname' => 'required|string',
        'nationality' => 'required|string',

Answer 1

try with model path,if model folder is inside App then App\\model;

eg:-
App\Insurance::create([
        'insurance_name' => $request->input('insurance'),
        'validity' => $request->input('valid_date'),
        'cover' => $request->input('cover'),
    ]);

Answer 2

add $fillalbe in Model:

protected $fillable=['full_name','nationality','...']

you will need to specify fillalbe attribute on the model. read more at https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent#mass-assignment

Answer 3

Can you check your table migration or model relation, then revision your form controller.

I am create example from your code and successfull insert into database.

Personal Details Migration

Schema::create('personal_details', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('fullname')->nullable();
        $table->string('nationality')->nullable();
        $table->timestamps();
    });

Home Institution Migration

Schema::create('home_institution', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->integer('personal_details_id')->unsigned()->primary();
        $table->string('name')->nullable();
        $table->string('address')->nullable();
        $table->timestamps();

        #Foreign to Table Personal Details.
        $table->foreign('personal_details_id')->references('id')->on('personal_details')->onUpdate('cascade')
            ->onDelete('cascade');

    });

Personal Detail Model Relation

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class PersonalDetails extends Model
{
protected $guarded = ['id'];


public function homeInstitution()
{
    return $this->hasOne('App\HomeInstitution');
}

# Other your Relation

}

Form Controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\PersonalDetails;

class FormController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
    return view('form.index');
}

public function submit(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        // Personal Details
        'fullname' => 'required|string',
        'nationality' => 'required|string',
        // Home Institution
        'name' => 'required|string',
        'address' => 'required|string',
    ]);

    $pd = PersonalDetails::create(
        ['fullname' => $request->get('fullname'), 'nationality' => $request->get('nationality')]
    );

    # Insert into HomeInstitution => base on Model Relation from PersonalDetails
    $pd->homeinstitution()->create(
        ['name' => $request->get('name'), 'address' => $request->get('address')]
    );

    # Insert into other youR relation
    /*$pd->example()->create(
        []
    );*/


    return dd('Successfull Insert');
}
}

Maybe its can help you.

Answer 4

Finally after all these struggles to figured out the problem, i just realized that i put wrong name in validation rules. The name on the left side of validation rules is different with name in html so i reformed the name in html and validation rules.

The big deal is i didn't put any validation error message after submit so that it won't inserted into database. After i put some error message, all of the field returned error that says "The :attribute is required". Simply because the name in validation is different with the html name :D

Thank you guys for helped me to figured out the problem, i worked it out :))
