In this tutorial, I will utilize multiple checkbox value stores in the database used json_encode and json-decode. Insert data JSON encode value and get data to JSON decode in laravel app.
I will give you a full example for store multiple checkbox values in the database utilizing laravel.So let's follow the bellow step by step.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

Step 3 : Create Table Migration and Model
In this step, we have to create a 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 below code in your migration file to create the 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');
}
}
Now we require to run migration be bellow command:
php artisan migrate
After you will open Post model file and put the bellow code.
<?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 4 : Create Rout

Route::resource('posts','PostController');
Step 5 : Create Controler
In this step You have to create resource "PostController" So lets open the terminal and run the bellow php artisan command :
php artisan make:controller PostController --resource
After successfully run this above command. So, let's copy bellow code and put on PostController.php file.
app/http/controller/PostController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Post;
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');
}
}
Step 6 : Create Blade File
