*
* @return void
*/

php artisan migrate

<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Contact extends Model
{
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'body',
];
}

'body' => 'required',
]);
Contact::create($validatedData);
return redirect()->to('/form');
}
public function render()
{
return view('livewire.contact-form');
}
}
resources/views/livewire/contact-form.blade.php
<form wire:submit.prevent="submit">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputName">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleInputName" placeholder="Enter name" wire:model="name">
