This article only explains the required things to learn and use laravel model.

Model

Eloquent models allow you to insert, update, and delete records from the table as well.

10     * The table associated with the model.
11     *
12     * @var string
13     */
14    protected $table = 'model_name';
15}

Add Primary Key in model

Laravel model uses default id as your model primary key but if you use another name for your primary id column then you need to declare.

1<?php
2
3namespace App\Models;
4
5use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
6
7class ModelName extends Model
8{
9    /**
10     * The table associated with the model.
11     *
12     * @var string
13     */
14    protected $table = 'model_name';
15
16     /**
17     * The primary key associated with the table.
18     *
19     * @var string
20     */
21    protected $primaryKey = 'model_id';
22}

Insert Default Value ( Optional )

when you want to insert default for your any column like is_active => true. laravel model provide options to set.

1/**
2     * The model's default values for attributes.
3     *
4     * @var array
5     */
6    protected $attributes = [
7        'is_active' => true,
8    ];

2
3namespace App\Http\Controllers;
4
5use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
6use App\Models\ModelName;
7use Illuminate\Http\Request;
8
9class ModelController extends Controller
10{
11    /**
12     * Store a new modelName in the database.
13     *
14     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
15     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
16     */
17    public function store(Request $request)
18    {
19        // insert new records
20        $modelName = new ModelName;
