I'm new to laravel, i want to insert data in Laravel for that i have written following code but the data is not inserted in the database and there is no error coming. My code is as follows, i have Created model, view, controller for that.
Controller : Category.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Response;
use App\Model\Category;
class Categories extends Controller
{
public function create()
{
return view('pages.addCategories');
}
public function store(Request $request)

]);
Category::create($request->all());
return redirect('admin/categories');
}

categories_table:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateCategoriesTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('categories', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->unsignedInteger('parent_id')->nullable();

</div>
</form>
Model Category :
<?php
namespace App;
namespace App\Model;
use DB;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Category extends Model
{
protected $fillable = [
'name'
];
public function subcategory(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Category', 'parent_id');
}
}
web.php
Route::get('admin/categories', 'Categories#create');
Route::post('admin/add-categories', 'Categories#store');

Answer 1

In your Category model you can have one namespace only.
So if the file is within app\Model\ then use this only:
namespace App\Model;
and remove
namespace App;
Then in the controller you can do this instead:
$validatedData = $request->validate([
'name' => 'required',
]);
Category::create($validatedData);
