Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'temporary_address' cannot be null error in nullable field - mysql

Question

I set the default value for a field on migration but it still gives an error when I left form field temporary_address empty
Is no-value and null is same in laravel? or something else.
my php version: 7.2.15
my mysql version: Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.25
My laravel version: 5.7.27

Answer 1

$client->temporary_address = $request->get('temporary_address');
please change this to
if(!empty($request->temporary_address)){
$client->temporary_address = $request->get('temporary_address');
}

Answer 2

i don't know why you decide to not using nullable() on the temporary address, while the other already using nullable
why you got an error ?
Because your temporary_address not accepting null value, and you set default value as an empty string, therefore you got an error like in your post, the solution change the default value to some value, not an empty string or easily make it nullable the best solution.
change this code
$table->string('temporary_address')->default("");
since you already run migration to update it, you need to write it down like this
$table->string('temporary_address')->nullable()->change();
therefore you can left your temporary address empty
