This method doesn't work:

public function update(Category $category) {

    $data = request()->validate([

        'name' => 'required',

    ]);



    $category->update([

        $data

    ]);



    return redirect("/category/{$category->id}/edit");

}

But it works fine, like that:

public function update(Category $category) {

    $data = request()->validate([

        'name' => 'required',

    ]);



    $category->update([

        'name' => request()->input('name')

    ]);



    return redirect("/category/{$category->id}/edit");

}

Result from dd($data) in first case is :

array:1 [▼

  "name" => "test"

]

I'm using first way in other conrollers and it also works, I'm confused.

My Answer:
A model in PHP is a class that represents the data and business logic of an application. It typically interacts with a database to retrieve and manipulate data, and may also contain methods for performing calculations or other operations on the data. Models are an important part of the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern, which helps to separate the concerns of an application and improve code organization and maintainability.
