Quick Tip

Fill a column automatically while you persist data to the database

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);
});
}
}
