Prevent Silently Discarding Attributes

Similar to preventAccessingMissingAttributes, Laravel provides a preventSilentlyDiscardingAttributes method that can help prevent unexpected behaviour when updating models.

 1namespace App\Providers;
 2 
 3use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
 4use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
 5 
 6class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
 7{
 8    public function boot(): void
 9    {
10        Model::preventSilentlyDiscardingAttributes();
11    }
12}

If you tried to update an attribute on a model that was not fillable, you would get this error:

1Add fillable property [email_verified_at] to allow mass assignment on [App\Models\User].
