To make all fields fillable  just declare on your class   protected  guarded   array      This will enable you to call fill method without declare each field

This is not a good way when you want to seeding database  Use faker instead of hard coding  and before all this maybe it s better to truncate tables    Consider this example           Truncate table        DB  table  users  - gt truncate            Create an instance of faker       faker   Faker  create            define an array for fake data       users               Make an array of 500 users with faker      foreach  range 1  500  as  index                 users                    group id    gt  rand 1  3                name    gt   faker- gt name               company    gt   faker- gt company               email    gt   faker- gt email               phone    gt   faker- gt phoneNumber               address    gt     faker- gt streetName    faker- gt postCode    faker- gt city                 about    gt   faker- gt sentence  nbWords   20   variableNbWords   true                created at    gt  new DateTime               updated at    gt  new DateTime                           Insert into database      DB  table  users  - gt insert  users

If you use the OOP method of inserting  you don t need to worry about mass-action fillable properties    user   new User   user- gt username    Stevo    user- gt email    steve rute co za    user- gt password    45678    user- gt save

Read this section of Laravel doc   http   laravel com docs eloquent mass-assignment  Laravel provides by default a protection against mass assignment security issues  That s why you have to manually define which fields could be  mass assigned     class User extends Model       protected  fillable     username    email    password          Warning   be careful when you allow the mass assignment of critical fields like password or role  It could lead to a security issue because users could be able to update this fields values when you don t want to

Use the fillable to tell laravel which fields can be filled using an array  By default  Laravel does not allow database fields to be updated via an array  Protected  fillable array  Fields you want to fill using array      The opposite of fillable is guardable

I am using Laravel 4 2   the error you are seeing   Illuminate Database Eloquent MassAssignmentException  username   indeed is because the database is protected from filling en masse  which is what you are doing when you are executing a seeder  However  in my opinion  it s not necessary  and might be insecure  to declare which fields should be fillable in your model if you only need to execute a seeder   In your seeding folder you have the DatabaseSeeder class   class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder                  Run the database seeds               return void             public function run                 Eloquent  unguard                this- gt call  UserTableSeeder              This class acts as a facade  listing all the seeders that need to be executed  If you call the UsersTableSeeder seeder manually through artisan  like you did with the php artisan db seed --class  UsersTableSeeder  command  you bypass this DatabaseSeeder class   In this DatabaseSeeder class the command Eloquent  unguard    allows temporary mass assignment on all tables  which is exactly what you need when you are seeding a database  This unguard method is only executed when you run the php aristan db seed command  hence it being temporary as opposed to making the fields fillable in your model  as stated in the accepted and other answers    All you need to do is add the  this- gt call  UsersTableSeeder    to the run method in the DatabaseSeeder class and run php aristan db seed in your CLI which by default will execute DatabaseSeeder   Also note that you are using a plural classname Users  while Laraval uses the the singular form User  If you decide to change your class to the conventional singular form  you can simply uncomment the    this- gt call  UserTableSeeder    which has already been assigned but commented out by default in the DatabaseSeeder class

Just add Eloquent  unguard    in the top of the run method when you do a seed  no need to create an  fillable array in all the models you have to seed    Normally this is already specified in the DatabaseSeeder class  However because you re calling the UsersTableSeeder directly    php artisan db seed --class  UsersTableSeeder    Eloquent  unguard    isn t being called and gives the error
