php - Extending Models and Seeding Tables with Eloquent in Laravel -

i'm trying figure seeding has whether or not extend model base model extends eloquent or not because when turn user model extending eloquent , run seed file works keep way puts empty values fillable fields.

any ideas why happening , how possibly fix it?

user model

<?php  use illuminate\auth\usertrait; use illuminate\auth\userinterface; use illuminate\auth\reminders\remindabletrait; use illuminate\auth\reminders\remindableinterface;  class user extends basemodel implements userinterface, remindableinterface {      use usertrait, remindabletrait, softdeletingtrait;      protected $fillable = ['first_name', 'last_name', 'username', 'avatar', 'role_id', 'status_id', 'email_address', 'password'];      protected static $rules = [         'first_name' => 'required',         'last_name' => 'required',         'username' => 'required|unique:users',         'email_address' => 'required|email|unique:users',         'avatar' => 'required|unique:users',         'password' => 'required|confirmed',         'role_id' => 'required',         'status_id' => 'required'     ];      public function __construct()     {         parent::__construct();     }      /**      * database table used model.      *      * @var string      */     protected $table = 'users';      /**      * attributes excluded model's json form.      *      * @var array      */     protected $hidden = array('password', 'remember_token');      /**      * user's full name concatenating first , last names      *      * @return string      */     public function getfullname()     {         return $this->first_name . ' ' . $this->last_name;     } } 

base model

<?php  class basemodel extends eloquent {      protected $errors;      public function __construct()     {         parent::__construct();     }      public static function boot()     {         parent::boot();          static::saving(function($model)         {             return $model->validate();         });     }      public function validate()     {         $validation = validator::make($this->getattributes(), static::$rules);          if ($validation->fails())         {             $this->errors = $validation->messages();              return false;         }          return true;     }      public function geterrors()     {         return $this->errors;     } } 

userstableseeder

<?php  // composer: "fzaninotto/faker": "v1.3.0" use faker\factory faker;  class userstableseeder extends seeder {      public function run()     {             user::create([             'first_name' => 'first',             'last_name' => 'last',             'username' => 'myusername',             'email_address' => 'myemail@gmail.com',             'avatar' => 'myava',             'password' => hash::make('changeme'),             'role_id' => 4,             'status_id' => 1         ]);          //create instanances each fake user         $faker = faker::create();          $roleids = userrole::lists('id');         $statusids = userstatus::lists('id');          foreach(range(1, 20) $index)         {             user::create([                 'first_name' => $faker->firstname,                 'last_name' => $faker->lastname,                 'username' => $faker->username,                 'email_address' => $faker->freeemail,                 'avatar' => $faker->lexify('????????'),                 'password' => hash::make($faker->word),                 'role_id' => $faker->randomelement($roleids),                 'status_id' => $faker->randomelement($statusids)             ]);         }     } } 

your constructors incompatible eloquent's.

get rid of them, since don't anything, or make compatible:

public function __construct(array $attributes = []) {     parent::__construct($attributes); }
