laravel save or update code example

Example 1: laravel fillable

/**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     */
    protected $fillable = [
      					   'title',
                           'slug',
                           'body',
                           'image',
                           'published',
                           'comments_open'
                          ];

Example 2: laravel soft delete

/** in migrations this changes need to
    add for table we want to add soft delete (LARAVEL)*/

	/** The migrations. START */
	public function up()
	{
		Schema::table('users', function(Blueprint $table)
		{
			$table->softDeletes();
		});
	}
	/** The migrations. END */

	/** after adding softdelete you need to
    point that column in table related model (LARAVEL)*/

	/** The Model. START */
  	use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
  	class User extends Model {
	  use SoftDeletes;
	  protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];
	}
	/** The Model. END */

Example 3: 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 4: 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 5: 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

Example 6: create new record via model in laravel

$userData = array('username' => 'Me', 'email' => '[email protected]');
User::create($userData);
