    $comment = new Comment;
    $comment -> user_id=Auth::user()->id;

CodePudding user response：

You need to set a value for the hidden field.

<input type="hidden" name="article_id" value="{{ $article->id }}"/>

Secondly for easier debugging these errors, using findOrFail() will ensure your app blows up, with a proper error message. Instead of just returning null.

$article = Article::findOrFail($request->article_id);

EDIT

You are also mixing two saving approaches together, either you associate the article to the comment or create a new comment. This is the approach i like to use.

$comment = new Comment;
$comment->user_id = Auth::user()->id;
$comment->comment = $request->get('comment');

$article = Article::find($request->article_id);
$comment->article()->associate($article);
$comment->save();
