    });

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using string 'true' instead of boolean true

Using numeric 1 which may work but is less clear

Using quotes around true

The 'is_admin' attribute should be a boolean true, not a string.

    'password' => [1]([2]),
];

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using hash() instead of bcrypt()

Not quoting the password string

Using double quotes instead of single quotes (both work but be consistent)

Use bcrypt to hash the string 'password' as the default password.
