Eloquent model returns 0 as primary key

Question

I have this migration:

Schema::create('provincias', function (Blueprint $table) {     $table->string('codigo', 2);     $table->string('nombre', 50);     $table->timestamp('creado');     $table->primary('codigo'); }); 

This is my model:

class Provincia extends Model {        protected $primaryKey = 'codigo';     public $timestamps = false; } 

I run the migration and save data like this:

$provincia = new Provincia; $provincia->codigo = "BA"; $provincia->nombre = "Buenos Aires"; $provincia->save(); 

The problem is that when I get all and dump:

$provincias = Provincia::all(); return $provincias; 

The primary key "codigo" is always 0 even when I check the database table and it has the proper value:

{     codigo: 0,     nombre: "Buenos Aires",     creado: "2015-12-24 21:00:24" } 

Answer 1

You can try setting public $incrementing = false; on your model so eloquent doesn't expect your primary key to be an autoincrement primary key.
