How to use save() method inside a loop in laravel - laravel

Question

My current situation is: I must use save() method to save multiple records using loop. I know insert() will fix my problem but to maintain my code clean I have to use the same code and save() method to insert the record. I create new instance inside the loop but always only last record is being inserted. My code looks like:
public static function save($data)
{
$settings = Settings::instance();
$data['sender_address'] = urldecode($data['sender_address']);
$data['sender_address'] = json_decode($data['sender_address'], true);
extract($data);
$customerFields = ['name', 'mobile', 'alt_mobile', 'district_id', 'area_id', 'address'];
$customerObj = $customer = Customer::where('mobile', $mobile);
if ($customerObj->count()) {
$customer = $customer->first();
} else {
$customer = new Customer;
}
foreach ($customerFields as $customerField) {
if (!empty($$customerField)) {
$customer->$customerField = $$customerField;
}
}
($customerObj->count()) ? $customer->update() : $customer->save();
$order = (isset($order_id) && !empty($order_id) )? Order::find($order_id) : new Order;
$order->sender_address = $sender_address;
$order->branch_id = self::getBranchIdByAreaId($sender_address['area']);
$order->responsible_by = self::getBranchManagerIdByBranchId($order->branch_id);
$order->client_id = $client_id;
$order->customer_id = $customer->id;
$order->delivery_time = $delivery_time;
$deliveryChargeParams = [
'district_id' => $district_id,
'delivery_time' => $delivery_time,
'product_weight' => $product_weight,
'merchant_id' => $client_id,
];
$order->delivery_charge = Utility::getDeliveryCharge($deliveryChargeParams);
$order->vat = Utility::getVat($order->delivery_charge);
if (empty($order_id)) {
$order->status_id = ($role_id == Employee::CLIENT) ?
$settings['tracking']['default_status'] : Order::PACKAGINGDONE;
if (($role_id != Employee::CLIENT)) {
$order->requested = Order::PACKAGINGDONE;
}
}
$order->cash_amount = $cash_amount;
$order->cod_charge = Utility::getCodCharge($cash_amount);
$order->product_weight = $product_weight;
$order->client_reference = $client_reference;
if (empty($order_id)) {
$order->save();
$loggedInUserId = isset($data['fromApp'])?
$data['client_id'] : Auth::getUser()->id;
$order->number = self::orderNumber($order,$loggedInUserId);
$order->update();
} else {
$order->update();
}
if (($role_id != Employee::CLIENT)) {
self::updateDeliveryWithin($order);
}
PaymentAction::update($order);
}
The following method calls this save() method:
function onSave(){
$data = post();
$client_id = (Auth::getUser()->role_id == Employee::CLIENT) ? Auth::getUser()->id : $data['client_id'];
$sender_address = $data['sender_address'];
$file = Input::file('bulk_order');
$filename = time().'-'.rand(2000,99999999).'-'.$file->getClientOriginalName();
$result = $file->move('tempFiles',$filename);
$uploadedFilePath = 'tempFiles/'.$filename;
$contents = $this->csvToArray($uploadedFilePath);
// dd($contents); //exit;
unlink($uploadedFilePath);
$keys = array();
if(count($contents)){
$keys = array_keys($contents[0]);
}else{
throw new ApplicationException('Your Csv file is not in proper Format OR Empty!');
}
$fields = array('client_reference','customer_mobile','customer_alternative_mobile','customer_name','customer_district','customer_area','customer_address','product_weight_in_kg','delivery_time_in_hour','cash_collection');
$diff = array_diff($keys,$fields);
//dd($diff); exit;
if(count($diff)!=0){
throw new ApplicationException('Your Csv file is not in proper Format');
}
// dd($contents); exit;
foreach($contents as $row){
$data['name'] = $row['customer_name'];
$data['mobile'] = $row['customer_mobile'];
if(strlen($data['mobile']) == 10 ){
$data['mobile'] = '0'.$data['mobile'];
}
$data['alt_mobile'] = $row['customer_alternative_mobile'];
if(strlen($data['alt_mobile']) == 10 ){
$data['alt_mobile'] = '0'.$data['alt_mobile'];
}
$data['district_id'] = Utility::getDistrictIdByName($row['customer_district']);
$data['area_id'] = Utility::getAreaIdByName($row['customer_area']);
$data['address'] = $row['customer_address'];
$data['delivery_time'] = $row['delivery_time_in_hour'];
$data['product_weight'] = $row['product_weight_in_kg'];
$data['client_id'] = $client_id;
$data['sender_address'] = $sender_address;
$data['cash_amount'] = $row['cash_collection'];
$data['client_reference'] = $row['client_reference'];
$data['role_id'] = Auth::getUser()->role_id;
OrderAction::save($data);
}
\Flash::success('Bulk Order uploaded Successfully');
return Redirect::to('dashboard/shipments');
}
Is it possible to save multiple records with my approach? Thanks in advance.
