laravel protected $table code example
Example 1: laravel create or update
// If there's a flight from Oakland to San Diego, set the price to $99.
// If no matching model exists, create one.
$flight = App\Models\Flight::updateOrCreate(
['departure' => 'Oakland', 'destination' => 'San Diego'],
['price' => 99, 'discounted' => 1]
);
Example 2: laravel model::query
// Eloquent's Model::query() returns the query builder
Model::where()->get();
// Is the same as
Model::query()->where()->get();
Model::query();
// Can be useful to add query conditions based on certain requirements
