Pass in addition fields to model creation in Laravel

Well hello there,

When cleaning up my controller class I was wondering where to put extra fields when creating a model. In the StoreAdvertisementRequest class there are some validation rules applied.
Next I also want to make sure the new advertisement is coupled to a user_id and a certain status_id field.

But how does that work in combination with a make:request request and the method $request->validated().

Is there a way to sneak these in?

public function store(StoreAdvertisementRequest $request): RedirectResponse
{
    // pass these in...
    $validated['user_id'] = Auth::id();
    $validated['status_id'] = AdvertisementStatus::WAITING_FOR_PROPOSAL;

    $advertisement = Advertisement::create($request->validated());

    just merge the arrays

    $additionalFields = [
    'user_id' => Auth::id(), 
    'status_id' => AdvertisementStatus::WAITING_FOR_PROPOSAL,
];

$advertisement = Advertisement::create(array_merge($request->validated(), $additionalFields));

    try this

    public function store(StoreAdvertisementRequest $request): RedirectResponse
{
    // pass these in...
    $validated['user_id'] = Auth::id();
    $validated['status_id'] = AdvertisementStatus::WAITING_FOR_PROPOSAL;

    $advertisement = Advertisement::create($request->validated() + $validated);

    You first validate the request using the $request->validated() method, then add extra fields to the validated request data:

    public function store(StoreAdvertisementRequest $request): RedirectResponse
{
    $validated = $request->validated();

    // Add extra fields
    $validated['user_id'] = Auth::id();
    $validated['status_id'] = AdvertisementStatus::WAITING_FOR_PROPOSAL;

    $advertisement = Advertisement::create($validated);

}

    Just add this function to your ‘StoreAdvertisementRequest’ class,
    it will automatically appended to $request->validated().

    /**
 * Prepare the data for validation.
 */
protected function prepareForValidation(): void
{
    $this->merge([
        'user_id'   => Auth::id(),
        'status_id' => AdvertisementStatus::WAITING_FOR_PROPOSAL
    ]);
}
