I have a table with a JSON column. I added this to my model in order to cast it automatically when I want to read it:
protected $casts = ['data' => 'array'];
If I manually insert this in the database to the json field everything works fine:
{"age": "15", "name": "John Doe"}
I read the model field and it's returned as an array.
I cant figure out how to store data through my app. I tried using this
$model->data = json_encode(['John Doe']);
But when I check the database this is what is stored:
"{\"name\":\"John Doe\"}"
And it's not casted when I want to use it. How can I solve this?
PLUS: Is there some documentation about the json field usage? I coulnd find anything
