laravel eloquent doc 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: laravel firstorcreate

// Retrieve flight by name, or create it if it doesn't exist...
$flight = App\Flight::firstOrCreate(['name' => 'Flight 10']);

// Retrieve flight by name, or create it with the name, delayed, and arrival_time attributes...
$flight = App\Flight::firstOrCreate(
    ['name' => 'Flight 10'],
    ['delayed' => 1, 'arrival_time' => '11:30']
);

// Retrieve by name, or instantiate...
$flight = App\Flight::firstOrNew(['name' => 'Flight 10']);

// Retrieve by name, or instantiate with the name, delayed, and arrival_time attributes...
$flight = App\Flight::firstOrNew(
    ['name' => 'Flight 10'],
    ['delayed' => 1, 'arrival_time' => '11:30']
);
