Add default Eloquent Model Values on Laravel 9

1 year ago admin Laravel

Sometimes you forgot to add default values for table columns when creating the Laravel migrations, but fortunately, there is a cool feature of Laravel, you can add default values of the model fields every time you save a record.


Set the default values

You can use the $attributes array to set the default values for your eloquent model.

                                                        
                                                                                                                        
<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    /**
     * The model's default values for attributes.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $attributes = [
        'title' => 'this is a default title',
        'body' => 'this is a default body',
    ];
}
