FatalThrowableError Laravel 5.2 - php

Question

I am trying to make register and log in in laravel 5.2, but am receiving
Type error: Argument 1 passed to Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model::create() must be of the type array, null given, called in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/blogs/app/Http/Controllers/RegisterationController.php on line 30
Here is my registerationcontroller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\User;
class RegisterationController extends Controller
{
//
public function create(){
return view('sessions.create');
}
public function store(){
//validate form
$this->validate(request(),[
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required'
]);
//store the data
$user = User::create(request(['name','email','password']));
//login
auth()->login($user);
//redirect
return redirect()->home();
}
}
and here is the user model:
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
public function posts(){
return $this->hasMany(Post::class);
}
}
i am following video for laravel 5.4, not sure if this is the problem.

Answer 1

You are not passing an array to the function you are passing the result of a function called request() which probably does not exist.
So amend the call something like this
//$user = User::create(request(['name','email','password']));
$user = User::create(
[
$request->input('name'),
$request->input('email'),
$request->input('password')
]
);
or
$params = [ $request->input('name'),
$request->input('email'),
$request->input('password')
];
$user = User::create( $params );
or
User::create($request->only(['name','email','password']);
