insert query in laravel eloquent code example

Example 1: eloquent update row response

DB::table('users')
            ->where('id', 1)
            ->update(['votes' => 1]);

Example 2: laravel eloquent get first

// return first row by id
$user = App\User::where('id',$id)->first();
// or return directly a field
$userId = App\User::where(...)->pluck('id');

Example 3: 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
