I am getting this error:

MassAssignmentException in Model.php line 448: _token

When I am using create method. Please review code below:

Contacts.php (Model):

class Contacts extends Model
{
    protected $table = ['name', 'mobile', 'email', 'address', 'created_at', 'updated_at'];
}

ContactsController.php (Controller):

public function store(Request $request)
{        
    $inputs = $request->all();
    $contacts = Contacts::Create($inputs);
    return redirect()->route('contacts.index');
}

For the Mass Assignment Exception: you should specify all the fields of the model that you want to be mass-assignable through create or update operations on the property $fillable: 

protected $fillable = ['name', 'mobile', 'email', 'address', 'created_at', 'updated_at'];

Besides, the field $table should contain only the model's table name: 

protected $table = 'your_table_name';
