Step 3 : Create Table Migration and Model

In this step we have to create migration for posts table and Post Model using Laravel php artisan command, So open terminal and put the bellow command.

php artisan make:model Post -m

After this command you have to put bellow code in your migration file for create posts table.

/database/migrations/2020_05_29_100722_create_posts_table.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('category');
            $table->longText('description');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
    }
}

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['name','category','description'];

    public function setCategoryAttribute($value)
    {
        $this->attributes['category'] = json_encode($value);
    }

    public function getCategoryAttribute($value)
    {
        return $this->attributes['category'] = json_decode($value);
    }
}

Step 3 : Create Route

Route::resource('posts','PostController');

Step 4 : Create Controler

In this step You have to create resource "PostController" So lets open the terminal and run the bellow php artisan command :

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::all();
        return view('multipleCheckbox',compact('posts'));
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        return view('formMultipleCheckbox');
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $input = $request->all();
        $input['category'] = $request->input('category');
        Post::create($input);
        return redirect()->route('posts.index');
