Answer 1

Hello @kartik

In eloquent ORM, $fillable attribute is an array containing all those fields of table which can be filled using mass-assignment.

Mass assignment refers to sending an array to the model to directly create a new record in Database.

Code Source

         class User extends Model {  

         protected $fillable = ['name', 'email', 'mobile'];   

         // All fields inside $fillable array can be mass-assigned  

         }  

Thank You!!

protected $table = 'designations';

protected $fillable = [

'designation_name', 'designation_code','status'

];
