MySql Error: 1364 Field 'display_name' doesn't have default value

Question

I have just switched from a MAMP installation to a native Apache, MySql and PHP installation. I have got everything working, but I have started using my web app in the new e

Answer 1

I also faced that problem and there are two ways to solve this in laravel.

1. first one is you can set the default value as null. I will show you an example:

   public function up()
   {
       Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
           $table->increments('id');
           $table->string('name');
           $table->string('gender');
           $table->string('slug');
           $table->string('pic')->nullable();
           $table->string('email')->unique();
           $table->string('password');
           $table->rememberToken();
           $table->timestamps();
       });
   }
   

as the above example, you can set nullable() for that feature. then when you are inserting data MySQL set the default value as null.

2. second one is in your model set your input field in protected $fillable field. as example:

   protected $fillable = [
       'name', 'email', 'password', 'slug', 'gender','pic'
   ];
   

I think the second one is fine than the first one and also you can set nullable feature as well as fillable in the same time without a problem.
