createMany equivalent for updateOrCreate - laravel

Question

Is there a createMany equivalent for updateOrCreate in Laravel for when you want to "updateOrCreate" many records in one call?
In other words, is there a sort of updateOrCreateMany function?
From the documentation there doesn't appear to be a function with that name, but maybe there's another friendly Laravel way of doing this... or should I just use a foreach (maybe also using MySQL's insert on duplicate feature)?

Answer 1

Based upon the documentation of Laravel, no there is no method on eloquent like updateOrCreateMany
If you give it a thought, it makes sense because the execution will anyway need to be sequential. As its possible that some entry might affect the previous one so the insertion or updation mode cannot be concurrent. So even if there was some method like that, it would anyway use a loop internally to execute query one by one.
To clear further let's say there was a method updateOrCreateMany which would probably take input like array of arrays like so:
Model::updateOrCreateMany([
[
'email' => 'x#y.com'
],
[
'email' => 'x2#y2.com'
],
[
'email' => 'x#y.com'
]
],
[
[
'name' => 'X Y'
],
[
'name' => 'X2 Y2'
],
[
'name' => 'X Y Updated'
]
]);
As you can see that record 3 is supposed to update the record 1 so basically, you cannot enter all at once by only comparing each with the database image of the insertion time of record1, that way you will enter in error of duplicated email as x#y.com did not exist initially.
Hence, there is no updateOrCreateMany method because it cannot be done concurrent, it needs to be sequential which means some kind of looping mechanism like foreach.
By the way Good Question! +1
Makes sense?

Answer 2

I suggest using a foreach loop on your data and using updateOrCreate method
foreach($records as $record){
Model::updateOrCreate([$record->id, $record->name], [$record->likes, $record->dislikes]);
}
