updatOrInsert laravel code example

Example 1: laravel find query

// Retrieve a model by its primary key...
$flight = App\Models\Flight::find(1);

// Retrieve the first model matching the query constraints...
$flight = App\Models\Flight::where('active', 1)->first();

// Shorthand for retrieving the first model matching the query constraints...
$flight = App\Models\Flight::firstWhere('active', 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
