Laravel How To Update Nested createMany - laravel

Question

Been having a hard time on figuring out how to implement updating records on a nested createMany based on the store method. I have these models and relations:
User Model:
class User extends Model
{
public function orders() {
return $this->hasMany(Order::class);
}
}
Order Model:
class Order extends Model
{
public function user() {
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
public function subOrders() {
return $this->hasMany(SubOrder::class);
}
}
SubOrder Model:
class SubOrder extends Model
{
public function order() {
return $this->belongsTo(Order::class);
}
public function subOrderProducts() {
return $this->hasMany(SubOrderProducts::class);
}
}
SubOrderProducts Model:
class SubOrderProducts extends Model
{
public function subOrder() {
return $this->belongsTo(SubOrder::class);
}
}
Here are the tables:
orders table:
id name
sub_orders table:
id order_id date price
sub_order_products table:
id sub_orders_id product_id
Then on the store method:
public function store(StoreOrderRequest $request) {
$order = auth()->user()->orders()->create($request->validated());
$order_subs = $order->subOrders()->createMany($request->orders);
$order_sub_products = $request->only('subproducts');
foreach ($order_subs as $key => $value) {
$order_sub->subOrderProducts()->createMany($order_sub_products[$key]['products']);
}
}
What I wanted to achieve is to update or create those sub orders and sub order products. If the sub order is already existing, then update, otherwise create a new record with those corresponding sub order products.
Here's what I've tried so far:
public function store(UpdateOrderRequest $request, Order $order) {
$order->update($request->validated());
$order_subs = $order->subOrders()->updateMany($request->orders);
$order_sub_products = $request->only('subproducts');
foreach ($order_subs as $key => $value) {
$order_sub->subOrderProducts()->updateMany($order_sub_products[$key]['products']);
}
}
It's not working as expected since the order subs is only a single record. What's the best way or the right process for updating/creating these records? Thanks.
