laravel 8 create model code example

Example 1: laravel create model

# The easiest way to create a model instance is using the 
# make:model Artisan command:

php artisan make:model Flight

# If you would like to generate a database migration when you 
# generate the model, you may use the --migration or -m option:

php artisan make:model Flight --migration
php artisan make:model Flight -m

Example 2: php artisan make model

php artisan make:model Flight

Example 3: laravel update

<!-mass update-->
App\Models\Flight::where('active', 1)
          ->where('destination', 'San Diego')
          ->update(['delayed' => 1]);

Example 4: laravel update

$flight = App\Models\Flight::find(1);

$flight->name = 'New Flight Name';

$flight->save();

Example 5: eloquent firstOrCreate

firstOrCreate() will automatically create a new entry in the database if there is not match found. Otherwise it will give you the matched item.
firstOrNew() will give you a new model instance to work with if not match was found, but will only be saved to the database when you explicitly do so (calling save() on the model). Otherwise it will give you the matched item.

Example 6: laravel scope query

$model = App\Models\Flight::where('legs', '>', 100)
            ->firstOr(['id', 'legs'], function () {
                // ...
            });
