I'm unsure of the best practice when inserting mass assignment relationships within Laravel 5.4 - I'm new to the framework. The below code is working correctly, however can you tell me is there a way to simply into one line (inserting relationships)?
I've tried to look at 'save()'and 'push()' but it's not working as expected. Would this have an impact if transactions would scale up?
I have a Listing model, with a hasOne relationship:
public function garage()
{
return $this->hasOne('App\Garage', 'post_id');
}
First of all I have some validation, then I use the following to store, which I want to simplify to one one line of code:
public function store(Request $request)
{
// Validation has passed, insert data into database
$listing = Listing::create($request->all());
$listing->Garage()->create($request->all());
}
Also if I wanted to return the data inserted, how would I do this as the following is only returning the Listing model and not the Garage relationship? Yes I know that I wouldn't do this in a real world application.
return \Response::json([
'message' => 'Post Created Succesfully',
'data' => $listing
]);
Any help is muchly appreciated
Your store
method looks good. You could chain methods though, if you don't need the listing
object itself:
public function store(Request $request)
{
// Validation has passed, insert data into database
$garage = Listing::create($request->all())
->garage()->create($request->all();
}
But if you need the listing object, it's fine as you did it before!
If you want to return the garage
relation model too, you can simply do that by accessing it like a normal class propery:
return \Response::json([
'message' => 'Post Created Succesfully',
'data' => [$listing, $listing->garage]
//Access collection of garage relation ship
]);
