Inserting an Array of Objects into Your Database in Laravel 7

When working with Laravel 7, a common task developers face is inserting an array of objects into the database. Many encounter hurdles, such as the frustrating "Trying to get property 'correct' of non-object" error. This guide will explore this issue and provide a step-by-step solution to effectively insert data into your database.

The Problem: Understanding the Error

While attempting to insert an array of answers associated with a question into the database, you might face the following error message:

This typically indicates that you're trying to access a property on a variable that isn’t an object. In Laravel, this commonly occurs when the structure of your data isn't as expected.

The Solution: Inserting Data Correctly

The issue arises in the way you're handling the incoming data from the request. Here’s how you can resolve it:

Step 1: Retrieve Answers Correctly

First, ensure you retrieve the answers from the request correctly. The variable $answers should be an array, not an object. Therefore, adjust your data retrieval as follows:

Step 3: Inserting Answers into the Database

Now, the critical part is inserting each answer into the database. You will loop through each answer and create a corresponding answer record linked to the question:

Key Changes Made

Changed $answers[] = $request->answers; to just $answers = $request->answers;

Within the loop, access the values using array syntax ($ans['text'] and $ans['correct']) instead of assuming $ans is an object.

Additional Tips

Validation: Always validate your incoming data to ensure it follows the expected structure.

Debugging: If you run into issues, consider using dd($request->answers); to inspect the structure of the incoming data.

Conclusion

Inserting an array of objects into the database in Laravel 7 may seem daunting at first, especially when dealing with complex structures. However, by ensuring that you're accessing data correctly and utilizing the appropriate syntax for arrays, you can effectively store your data without running into property access errors.

With these steps and adjustments, you'll be well-equipped to handle similar data insertion tasks in Laravel 7 with confidence.
