SAVE THE MODEL AND ALL OF ITS RELATIONSHIPS ONE GO

Mar 01, 2024 Copy Link

Let's imagine that we have a user who has many posts and we wanna update the name with his first post title so, you may think of using the traditional way:

use App\Models\User;

$user = User::first();

$user->name = 'The First Change Of Name';
// $user->posts[0]->title = 'The First Change Of Title';
$user->posts->first()->title = 'The First Change Of Title';

// First, update the early post through his parent
$user->posts->first()->save();
// Then, update the parent itself
$user->save();

If you reverse the two lines of saving the child and his parent by miskate you will get the same result back.

So, the previous way will accomplish the task well but, Laravel introduces an amazing way to do so:

use App\Models\User;

$user = User::first();

$user->name = 'The Second Change Of Name';
// $user->posts[0]->title = 'The Second Change Of Title';
$user->posts->first()->title = 'The Second Change Of Title';

$user->push();

Woow, the task has been completed in a nutshell 🤵
