Step 1: Create Cron Job Command Class
Step 2: Implement Logic In Cronjob Class

Step 1: Create Cron Job Command Class

Run the following command on command prompt to navigate in laravel app directory:

Run the following command on command prompt to create LogCron job class:

php artisan make:command LogCron --command=log:cron

Step 2: Implement Logic In Cronjob Class

@ Go to app/Console/Commands/ directory and open LogCron.php file. And add the following code into it:

<?php
   
namespace App\Console\Commands;
   
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
   
class LogCron extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'log:cron';
    
    /**
     * The console command description.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $description = 'Command description';
    
    /**
     * Create a new command instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }
    
    /**
     * Execute the console command.
     *
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        \Log::info("Cron is working fine!");

           Write your database logic we bellow:
           Item::create(['name'=>'hello new']);
        */
    }
}

Step 3: Register Cron job Command

@ Go to app/Console directory and open Kernel.php. Then register cron job command like following:

<?php
   
namespace App\Console;
    
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
    
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    /**
     * The Artisan commands provided by your application.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $commands = [
        Commands\LogCron::class,
    ];
     
    /**
     * Define the application's command schedule.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule  $schedule
     * @return void
     */
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('log:cron')
                 ->everyMinute();
    }
     
    /**
     * Register the commands for the application.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected function commands()
    {
        $this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');
     
        require base_path('routes/console.php');
    }
}
