laravel field with no default value

Question

i have a small problem here and it is that the image field doesn't have a default value as the complier said but actually i assigned a value for it i know that this error pops up when the field should have a value but the programmer didn't assign a value to it i know all of this but i already assigned a value to my field so what i am missing here

controller

protected function validator(array $data)

    {
        return Validator::make($data, [
            'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
            'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],
            'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],
            'image' => ['required' , 'image' , 'mimes:jpeg,png,jpg', 'max:2048'],
        ]);
    }
 protected function create(array $data)
    {

        $imageName = time().'.'.request()->image->getClientOriginalExtension();
        request()->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);

        return User::create([
            'name' => $data['name'],
            'email' => $data['email'],
            'image' => $imageName,
            'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
        ]);
    }

the problem is mainly from the controller but i said that i put the view just in case you want to see it

small note : the image is uploading and it is stored at public folder just like the code said but its name doesn't save at the database also the field image is string at my database because i just want its name so i could view it

Answer 1

Set a default image for your image field. Also make sure you have made it fillable, if not set it in protected $fillable in your model User.php

You will get this error when a user doesn't upload an image.

$table->string('image')->default('default.jpg');//You can also add .png

Now have a default image in your storage with name default.jpg
This way the image will have a default value if user doesn't' upload it.

Answer 2

You need to add the default value or make that field null in the migration file, not the controller or view.

$table->string('image')->nullable();

or...

$table->string('image')->default('value');
