Laravel 5.4 attaching role on registration

[Joveice]

Hello.

 

I'm trying to attach roles to my users when registrating

 

Role.php

class Role extends Model
{
    public function users()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'role_users', 'role_id', 'user_id');
    }
}

In User.php

public function roles()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Role', 'role_users', 'user_id', 'role_id');
    }

My roles

id			slug				name
1			admin				Administrator

2			default				Member

So in my registerController I got this

/**
     * Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return User
     */
    protected function create(array $data)
    {
        $user = User::create([
            'name' => $data['name'],
            'email' => $data['email'],
            'password' => $data['password'],
            'gender' => $data['gender'],
            'country' => $data['country'],
            'birthday' => $data['birthday'],
        ]);
        $role = new Role(['slug' => 'default']);
        $user->roles()->save($role);
        return $user;
    }

But this throws 

Illuminate \ Database \ Eloquent \ MassAssignmentException
slug

I'm not sure that my registerController is close to correct as I saw thats how someone else did it and I just had to try. The other way I saw someone do was this

/**
     * Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return User
     */
    protected function create(array $data)
    {
        $user = User::create([
            'name' => $data['name'],
            'email' => $data['email'],
            'password' => $data['password'],
            'gender' => $data['gender'],
            'country' => $data['country'],
            'birthday' => $data['birthday'],
        ]);
		$role = Role::where('name', 'Member')->first();
		$user->save();
		$user->roles()->attach($role);
    }

How do you do this? If you need more info from me let me know as I'm new to laravel

Hi, im still a beginer with the Laravel framework but the exception

Illuminate \ Database \ Eloquent \ MassAssignmentException
slug

happen, I think, when you do mass assignment on a field. Its a protection implanted so the users can't update data when you don't want to. You have to manually define which fields could be "mass assigned" :

class User extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['name', 'email', 'user', 'gender'];
}

I wouldn't put the password. Reed more about it here : http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#mass-assignment

 

Sory for my english, still learning

You are creating a new role in your registerController every time someones registers, and i guess you don't have the fillable array on the Roles model. You need to add the slug to the fillable array on your Role model and instead of creating a new Role every time someones register you should create the default role in the database before that and assign that one to the user when they register.
