model - Laravel 5: how to safely override the default User::create() for two tables? -

with laravel 5.2, have guest user provide first , last names when signing up. first_name , last_name fields different model people that's table extended profiles:

users     id     email     username  people     user_id     first_name     last_name     profile     ... 

in default authcontroller, calls create method of user class this:

/**  * create new user instance after valid registration.  *  * @param array $data  *  * @return user  */ protected function create(array $data) {     return user::create([         'name'     => $data['name'],         'email'    => $data['email'],         'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),     ]); } 

but should overwrite method creates user adding data above 2 tables?

you can add 1 one relation user people model. once create user, can call user , add details follows:

$user->people()->create(['first_name]=>$request->input('first_name')); 

refer laravel docs find out how create 1 one relation. give start.
