     */
    protected $fillable = ['code', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'address' 'birth_date'];
  
    /**

     * @return string
     */
    public function getAgeAttribute()
    {
        return Carbon::parse($this->birth_date)->age;
    }
}

class SignaturePadController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
