How to store json data in database?

Question

JSON

And again, hello everyone! )
I'm not saving json data correctly. I don't know how to do it right... Tell me who knows.
I have an elements field with json data . It is required to update the parameter . I update ...
{"param": {"0": "0"}}

Section::where([
    "id" => 1
])->update([
    "elements->param" => json_encode(["TEST" => "TEST"])
]);

But I get this How to save correctly so that json saves the correct structure, and it turned out like this
{"param": "{\"TEST\":\"TEST\"}"}
{"param": {"TEST": "TEST"}}

Answer 1

No need to do json_encode
Write casts object/array for the desired column in the model and save like this:

Section::where([
    "id" => 1
])->update([
    "elements->param" => ["TEST" => "TEST"]
]);

And eloquent itself will return the data already parsed to you
