Laravel - Database Basics and Migrations

You run this Tinker command to create a new user:
App\Models\User::create(['name' => 'Anna']);
But you get an error about mass assignment. What is the likely cause?

AThe database connection is missing

BYou forgot to run migrations

CThe 'create' method does not exist

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand mass assignment protection
Laravel requires you to specify which fields can be filled using 'fillable' property in the model.
Step 2: Identify cause of error
If 'name' is not listed in 'fillable', Laravel blocks mass assignment and throws an error.
Final Answer:
The 'name' field is not fillable in the User model -> Option D

Mass assignment error = missing fillable field [OK]

Quick Trick: Add fields to $fillable to fix mass assignment errors [OK]
