Laravel 8 – Base table or view not found: 1146 Table ‘laravel8.brand’ doesn’t exist

I’ve been searching the web for quite a long time and I have tried adding the protected $table = "brands"; to my Brand Model as seen here:

<?php

namespace AppModels;

use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentFactoriesHasFactory;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;

class Brand extends Model
{
    protected $table = "brands";
    use HasFactory;
    protected $fillable = [
        'brand_name',
        'brand_image'
    ];
}

Then on my controller I have the following code:

<?php

namespace AppHttpControllers;

use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use AppModelsBrand;
use IlluminateSupportCarbon;

class BrandController extends Controller
{
    public function AllBrand(){
        $brands = Brand::latest()->paginate(2);
        return view('admin.brand.index', compact('brands'));
    }

    public function StoreBrand(Request $request){
        $validatedData = $request->validate([
            'brand_name' => 'required|unique:brand|min:4',
            'brand_image' => 'required|mimes:jpg,jpeg,png',
        ],
        [
            'brand_name.required' => 'Please input brand name',
            'brand_image.min' => 'Brand longer than 4 Characters'
        ]);

        $brand_image = $request->file('brand_image');
        $name_gen = hexdec(uniqid());
        $img_ext = strtolower($brand_image->getClientOriginalExtension());
        $img_name = $name_gen.'.'.$img_ext;
        $upload_location = 'images/brand/';
        $publish_image =  $upload_location.$img_name;
        $brand_image->move($upload_location,$img_name);

        Brand::insert([
            'brand_name' => $request->brand_name,
            'brand_image' => $publish_image,
            'created_at' => Carbon::now()
        ]);

        return Redirect()->back()->with('success', 'Brand added successfully!');
    }
}

Passing this through my routes:

// For Brand Route
Route::get('/brand/all', [BrandController::class, 'AllBrand'])->name('all.brand');

Route::post('/brand/add', [BrandController::class, 'StoreBrand'])->name('store.brand');

Which I also used on my form inside views/admin/brand folder:

<form action="{{ route('store.brand') }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    @csrf
  <input type="text" name="brand_name" placeholder="Brand name"/>
  @error('brand_name')
  <span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;"> {{ $message }}</span>
  @enderror

My database table is named brands but adding protected $table = "brands"; did not solve this. I even tried to re-migrate and do this all over again but nothing seems to work at all.

Are there anymore ways to solve this issue? I keep on getting the SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'laravel8.brand' doesn't exist (SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from brandwherebrand_name = Bx LLC) error whenever I am adding a new brand.

Please help!

Answer

the problem is not in storing Brand, but in validation:

in your validation:

'brand_name' => 'required|unique:brand|min:4',

this told Laravel to make sure of brand name uniqueness in ‘brand’ table, so when the query committed, you see that error.

this validation should be:

'brand_name' => 'required|unique:brands|min:4',
