I have a post request to add a product informations to database like id (UUID),image, name, price ,..etc .
currently i'm using :
public function store(Request $request) {
$uuid = Uuid::generate();
if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
$image = $request->file('image');
$name = time().'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
$destinationPath = storage_path('/app/images');
$image->move($destinationPath, $name);
$product = Product::create($request->all());
return response()->json(['data'=>"product with id {$product->id} is created"]);
}
Both fields uuid & Image URL are generated by the API and not from the information provided by the user so how can i save all the informations (server generated fields & fields provided by the post request) to the data base ?
You can use the array_merge()
function.
Product::create(array_merge($request->all(), [
'uuid' => $uuid,
'image_url' => $imageUrl,
'name' => $name,
'price' => $price,
]));
Use $request->except('_token', etc.)
instead of $request->all()
when there is a csrf token or other fields you don't want to save. Make sure all fields are set as fillable on the model.
