First, we create a Migration and Model file for the user’s table where we enter some data using Laravel Tinker.

php artisan make:model User -m

After that add some rows for the user migration file.

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('email')->unique();
            $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
            $table->string('password');
            $table->rememberToken();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

Step: 2 Migrate User Table

Now, migrate Users’ migration file using this command.

php artisan migrate

Step: 3 Open Tinker

After migration user files open Laravel Tinker using this command.

php artisan tinker

After Run this command

We have A mode for User.


>>> $user = new App\User
=> App\User {#3024}
>>> $user->name = 'CoderMen'
=> "CoderMen"
>>> $user->email = '[email protected]'
=> "[email protected]"
>>> $user->password = bcrypt('password')
=> "$2y$10$GJCQzj71L56TDAG2wa3VNeSONgMWp8zAk2TQ1kfHVxPgARXg75fxO"
