Laravel 8 all() Function does not map db values to model properties-CodePudding

I am fairly new to laravel so I assume this is a newbie question. Basically I try to retrieve my db data through the static all()-function. But somehow my resulting model instance only populates data in the attributes array but all model properties are null.

I have a simple route

Route::get('/posts', function () {
    $posts = App\Models\Post::all();
    ddd($posts[0]);
    return view('posts', [
        'posts' => $posts,
    ]);
});

and a simple model

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    public $id;
    public $title;
    public $excerpt;
    public $body;
    public $published_at;
    public $category_id;

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

    protected $guarded = ['id'];

    public function category() {
        return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);
    }
}

this is what ddd() returns

App\Models\Post {#1225 ▼

   title: null
   excerpt: null
   body: null

   category_id: null

  ]

  #appends: []
  #dispatchesEvents: []
  #observables: []
  #relations: []
  #touches: []
   timestamps: true

  #visible: []
}

Can somebody explain me what I am missing here?

Thanks for your pointers

CodePudding user response：

What do you want to get as a result?

The first element of $posts is the Object of the first post and you don`t need to define those properties again. you can just use

$post->id

delete all your defined properties.
