If you want to fill a column automatically while you persist data to the database (e.g: slug) use Model Observer instead of hard code it every time
use Illuminate\Support\Str; class Article extends Model{ ... protected static function boot() { parent:boot(); static::saving(function ($model) { $model->slug = Str::slug($model->title); }); }}
