Adding new fields into Laravel 5.8 defaut user table - laravel

Question

I have updated the laravel users table by adding few more field.usertype was one of it. Then I have updated the User model fillable field and also I have added required input types into my form. After all of these I have run php artisan migrate:refresh after that I can see that my table field also updated. But when I submit the form it generates the below error saying usertype dosent have a default value. usertype field is not a null filed .Can anyone say me whats wrong in this. For more references please refer below codes.
migration
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');
//added by myself
$table->string('usertype');
$table->boolean('activestatus')->default(false);
//
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
User Model
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
'usertype',
];

])->all());
return redirect()->route('user.index')
->withStatus(__('User successfully created.'));
}
This is the error it generates while I try to submit the form
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'usertype' doesn't have a

Answer 1

As the error says you are not providing any value for the usertype column, and you are trying to save it with null value. So in that case you can change the migration to allow null by default like this:
$table->string('usertype')->nullable();
And once you change the migration you will have to re-run it using:
php artisan migrate:fresh
Warning: Keep in mind that this will destroy your current data.

Thanks for commenting on this. I was updating Controller UserController . But as #tharakadilshan mentioned I updated mt RegisterController and now its working. Once again thanks for all the comments.
