How to add custom data in controller Laravel

Question

I have a form that will send data like title, demo, text. These fields can be inserted by the user but I have user_id in the table that should automatically be inserted by the framework itself. I don't want to create <input type='hidden' name='user_id' value='{{Auth::user()->id}}'> because it is NOT safe at all. How can I fill up user_id automatically when a user has to fill the form?

Controller

public function store(Request $request)
{
    //TODO: ADD user_id to this data and insert into tbl
    $v_data = $request->validate([
        'title' => 'required|min:5',
        'demo' => 'required',
        'text' => 'required',
        'category' => 'required|numeric',
    ]);

    Post::create($v_data);

    return redirect()->back();
}

Please show the code in your controller.

Instead of:

Post::create($v_data);

you can use:

Post::create($v_data + ['user_id' => auth()->id()]);

Just do it..

public function store(Request $request) {

//TODO: ADD user_id to this data and insert into tbl
$v_data=$request->validate([
    'title'=>'required|min:5',
    'demo'=>'required',
    'text'=>'required',
    'category'=>'required|numeric',
]);

$v_data['user_id']=auth()->user()->id;// this extra line

Post::create($v_data);
return redirect()->back();

}
