If you need to check if the record exists, and then update it, or create a new record otherwise, you can do it in one sentence. Use Eloquent method: updateOrCreate().
Instead of this:
$flight = Flight::where('departure', 'Oakland')
->where('destination', 'San Diego')
->first();
if ($flight) {
$flight->update(['price' => 99, 'discounted' => 1]);
} else {
$flight = Flight::create([
'departure' => 'Oakland',
'destination' => 'San Diego',
'price' => 99,
'discounted' => 1
]);
}
You can do it by this:
$flight = Flight::updateOrCreate(
['departure' => 'Oakland', 'destination' => 'San Diego'],
['price' => 99, 'discounted' => 1]
);
