Inserting Or Updating Models

Save

The most common way to create or update a model is to use the save method. This will create a new model if there is no id. Otherwise it will update an existing model if an id is provided.

Create a new product:

use SureCart\Models\Product;

// creates a new product
$product = new Product([
    'name' => 'iPhone',
    'description' => 'iPhone is a smartphone'
]);
$product->save();

Update an existing product:

// updates an existing product
$product = new Product([
    'id' => '8ba8d60f-5277-4e6b-807c-dee8166446d5',
    'name' => 'iPhone',
    'description' => 'iPhone is a smartphone'
])->save();

Update an existing product:

// updates an existing product
$product = Product::find('8ba8d60f-5277-4e6b-807c-dee8166446d5');
$product->name = 'iPhone 8';
$product->description = 'iPhone is a newer smartphone.';
$product->save();

Create

You can specify that you want to create a model directly by using the create method.

use SureCart\Models\Product;
$archived_products = Product::create([
    'name' => 'iPhone',
    'description' => 'iPhone is a smartphone'
]);

Update

You can specify that you want to update a model directly by using the update method.

use SureCart\Models\Product;

$product = Product::find('8ba8d60f-5277-4e6b-807c-dee8166446d5');
$product->update([
    'name' => 'iPhone',
    'description' => 'iPhone is a smartphone'
]);
