Laravel Eloquent ignore attribute if not in table during insert

Question

I have a model Foo that corresponds to a table with the following columns.

id
description
user_id

I\'m setting the attributes of the Foo model individual

Answer 1

Add the $fillable and the model will ignore everything not in it (instead of giving an error). Using the constructor function to fill all the columns is optional.

class Foo extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['id', 'description', 'user_id'];
}

$f = new Foo(['id' => 1, 'description' => "hello monkey", 'user_id' => 55, 'bar' => 'wow']); // should work w/o error, but it ignores the 'bar'.
