Eloquent Boot or Booted method in Model is never called in my model class


When i create a model with eloquent and i wan't to use boot or booted method static for trigger an action, is never triggered. Laravel 12 Eloquent

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use App\Traits\MeiliSearchable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsToMany;

class Fiche extends Model
{
    use MeiliSearchable;

    protected $table = 'fiches';

    protected $guarded = ['id'];

    protected $casts = [
        'cdp_only' => 'boolean',
        'documents' => 'array',
        'description_editorjs' => 'array',
        'created_at' => 'datetime',
        'updated_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    protected static function booted()
    {

        static::creating(function ($user) {
            var_dump('Nouvelle creation');
        });
    }
}

Solution

  • You're calling $user, which doesn't make impact in a Fiche model. It should be:

    Replace your boot method as:

    static::creating(function ($fiche) {
        var_dump('Nouvelle creation');
    });
    

    Don't use var_dump() in Laravel models unless debugging from the CLI. Use Log::info() or dd() for testing:-

    protected static function booted()
    {
        static::creating(function ($fiche) {
            \Log::info('Nouvelle creation de fiche'); // Better than var_dump
        });
    }
