Having problems in the store method Laravel-Eloquent - mysql

Question

Been at this for a very long time and I can't get it right. Would be really thankful for some help. Thanks in advance!
Im trying to build a little clone of reddit some learning purpose.
I think these models is correct for what I'm trying to do. Im able to save a Subreddit to DB with user_id. But my problem is that I can't post to the post table since it's telling me it cannot find the subreddits_id column. Im seems like the method im trying to call should be working but it doesnt.
protected $fillable = ['title', 'link','content', 'post_picture', 'user_id', 'subreddit_id'];
//Functions
public function user () {
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
public function subreddit() {
return $this->belongsTo(Subreddit::class);
}
public function comments () {
return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
}
Above is my Post model
protected $guarded = [];
//Functions
public function user () {
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
public function posts () {
return $this->hasMany(Post::class);
}
public function comments () {
return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
}
Above is my Subreddit Model
public function posts () {
return $this->hasMany(Post::class);
}
public function subreddit() {
return $this->hasMany(Subreddit::class);
}
public function commments () {
return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
}
Above is my User model

The Store method looks like this:
public function store(Request $request)
{ $data = request()->validate([
'title' => 'required',
'link' => 'required',
'content' => 'required',
]);
$post = auth()->user()->posts()->create($data);
return redirect('/home');
}
I'm getting this error General error: 1364 Field 'subreddit_id' doesn't have a default value (SQL: insert into posts (title, link, content, user_id, updated_at, created_at) values (awe, ew, we, 2, 2020-04-01 17:41:29, 2020-04-01 17:41:29))

Answer 1

your $data only takes the parameters you specify for validation, But you did not include subreddit_id, It should be like this:
public function store(Request $request)
{ $data = request()->validate([
'title' => 'required',
'link' => 'required',
'content' => 'required',
'subreddit_id' => 'required|exist:subreddits,id'
]);
$post = auth()->user()->posts()->create($data);
return redirect('/home');
}
