title: How to store JSON in mysql laravel
body: <p>So, i'm trying to store data in database as JSON, i've seen the built-in notification table doing that.</p>
  
  <p>I created a field of type "text" and i'm storing this (example)</p>
  
  <pre><code>{"filenames":["D0BmpFOdyUp4YyA8tqpL60VxO9kXsfciP9eLhIxd.jpeg","nAAs1xeErQSxPGxPvP68bCMn4a0E3y4EcgwfCwJl.png"],"title":"asdasdasa","content":"adasdasa"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It returns me string as expected, how do i make it understand as an array?</p>
  
  <p>Do i have to add something in the model or...?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
