Troubleshooting the country_id doesn't have a default value Error in Laravel's Seeder

When working with Laravel, you may encounter various errors during database seeding. One common issue faced by developers is the SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'country_id' doesn't have a default value. In this guide, we'll explain what causes this error and how to fix it.

Understanding the Problem

The error message you are seeing typically occurs when you're trying to insert a record into the states table without specifying a value for the country_id field. This field is defined as a foreign key, meaning it must reference a valid entry in the countries table. If Laravel can't find an appropriate value during insertion, it throws an error.

Fixing the Error

There are two primary methods you can use to resolve this issue. Let's break down each method step by step.

Method 1: Loop Through All Countries

If you want to create a state for each existing country, you need to retrieve all countries from the countries table and then insert the state records.
