• 我们来生成第一个模型

php artisan make:model Article
#输出
Model created successfully.
Created Migration: 2015_03_28_062517_create_articles_table

查看一下生成的文件 app/Article.php

<?php namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Article extends Model {

	//

}

没什么特别的，除了继承自 Model 以外，但是具有强大的功能，这些都封装在laravel的Model中。模型自动具有了 save() update() findXXX() 等强大的功能。

• tinker 是 laravel提供的命令行工具，可以和项目进行交互。

php artisan tinker

Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\MassAssignmentException with message 'title'

MassAssignmentException，laravel保护我们不能直接插入记录。比如，在一些特殊情况下我们需要直接利用表单的信息填充数据库记录，但是如果我们并没有在表单中添加密码字段，而黑客产生了密码字段连同我们的其他字段一起送回服务器，这将产生修改密码的危险，所以我们必须明确的告诉laravel我们的模型那些字段是可以直接填充的。

修改我们的模型文件 Article.php

<?php namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Article extends Model {

	protected $fillable = [
        'title',
        'body',
        'published_at'
    ];

}

表示，title, body, published_at 是可以直接填充的。

退出 tinker，重新进入

>>> $article = App\Article::create(['title' => 'New Article', 'body' => 'New body', 'published_at' => Carbon\Carbon::now()]);
=> <App\Article #000000005051b2c7000000007ec432dd> {
       title: "New Article",
       body: "New body",
       published_at: <Carbon\Carbon #000000005051b2c6000000007ec4081d> {
           date: "2015-03-28 06:55:19",
           timezone_type: 3,
           timezone: "UTC"
       },
       updated_at: "2015-03-28 06:55:19",
       created_at: "2015-03-28 06:55:19",
       id: 2
   }
   
# It's ok

>>> App\Article::all()->toArray();
=> [
       [
           "id"           => "1",
           "title"        => "My First Update Title",
