Populating the User table

-
Open the
User
model file (app/Models/User.php
) and add the following code to the__construct
method:public function __construct() { $this->fillable = [ 'name', 'email', 'password', ]; }
This code specifies the columns that can be filled using the
fill
method. -
Open the
create_users_table
migration file (database/migrations/2023_02_20_000000_create_users_table.php
) and add the following code to theup
method:public function up() { Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->id(); $table->string('name'); $table->string('email')->unique(); $table->string('password'); $table->timestamps(); }); }
This code creates the User table with the specified columns.
-
Run the following command to execute the migration:
php artisan migrate
This command will create the User table in your database.
-
Open the
AuthController
file (app/Http/Controllers/Auth/AuthController.php

method:public function register(Request $request) { $user = new User(); $user->name = 'John Doe'; $user->email = '[email protected]'; $user->password = bcrypt('password'); $user->save(); return redirect()->route('login'); }
This code creates a new User instance with default data and saves it to the database.
-
Run the following command to register the default user:
php artisan tinker
This command will open a Tinker shell where you can execute the
register
method:>>> App\Http\Controllers\Auth\AuthController::register(new Illuminate\Http\Request);
