If you have a constructor in your model, just make sure it has a call to a parent constructor as well:

public function __construct( array $attributes = array() ) {

    //..
}

Otherwise, it will break some functionality like Model::create.

If you would like to revert to previous behavior, update your

config/database.php

file and set 'strict' => false for your connection.

Answer 3

Since it was a unique field in my case, I could not make it nullable.

For me, I had an empty constructor which was causing the issue don't know why. Please comment if anyone knows the reason.

public function __construct(){

}

Commenting/removing it resolved the issue.

Answer 4

I am using Laravel 8 and fixed this error thorugh this two steps:

1. move the word from $guarded array to $fillable array in User Mode

2. Config.database.php: 'strict' => false in the array of 'mysql'

Answer 5

Another way around this error is to include

'strict' => false,

into config/database.php within mysql array

Answer 6

Remove the guarded array and add the fillable instead:

protected $fillable = ['user_id', 'deal_id'];
