How to store custom registration fields in laravel? - laravel

Question

I am adding few new fields to my registration form. All the default field are stored in database except custom field.
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'name' => 'required|max:255',
'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
'company_name' => 'required',
]);
}
protected function create(array $data)
{
$user = User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
'company_name' => $data['company_name'],
'role' => 'client',
]);
return $user;
}
Here is my form
<form action="/register" method = "post" id = "reg_form">
{{csrf_field()}}
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Name"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Email"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="company_name" id="email" placeholder="Name of your Company"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="password" name="password" id="pass" placeholder="Password"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="password" name="password_confirmation" id="re_pass" placeholder="Re enter password"/>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="submit" class="btn" id="register_sbt_btn" value="Register"/>
</div>
</div>
</form>
The company_name and role doesn't get stored. I am giving a default value to the role => client whenever a new user registers.

Remember to add the fields on $fillable attribute of User model
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
'company_name', //<--- HERE
'role', //<--- HERE
];
Also make sure that you have those fields on Users table
