Laravel's Eloquent update() function returns a boolean, and not the updated entry. I'm using:
return User::find($id)->update( Input::all() )
And this returns only a boolean. Is there a way I can get the actual row, without running another query?
I think that's the behaviour that you want:
$user = User::find($id)->fill(Input::all());
return ($user->update())?$user:false;
I hope it works fine for you.
fill() by passing the relationship data as well and then use push() to update all?
Model class, and I made a kind of preprocess the Input before save/update. I split the related input data and save/update it all too inside the same transaction, but Eloquent doesn't do it by default.Another approach can is to use the laravel tap helper function.
Here is an example to use it for updating and getting the updated model:
$user = User::first();
$updated = tap($user)->update([
"username" => "newUserName123"
]);
tap($user) allows us to chain any method from that model. While at the end, it will return the $user model instead of what update method returned.
