I am using the updateOrCreate method to check whether data has been changed from a response which is entered in the DB. If the record is new then it successfully adds the correct timestamp. However, I have noticed that the updated timestamp updates record for all of the records. I want this to only update if records have been updated.
But looking at the issue I believe all the records are being updated regardless.
if (isset($customers->Data)) {
foreach ($customers as $customerData) {
if ($customer = $customerData->attributes()) {
if ((string) $customer->CustomerType !== 'A') continue;
if ((string) $customer->CustomerEmail === '') continue;
$customerDb = $this::updateOrCreate(
[
'email' => $customer->CustomerEmail,
'code' => $customer->Customer,
'currency' => $customer->Currency,
],
[
'email' => $customer->CustomerEmail,
'code' => $customer->Customer,
'currency' => $customer->Currency,
'name' => $customer->CustomerName,
'phone' => $customer->CustomerPhone,
'terms' => $customer->Terms,
]
);
}
}
}
The email, code, currency fields will always be unique and the rest to create if these are not present. Should the default behavior be that it updates regardless? What I want to achieve is to only detect if a record has been changed if it has then updated that particular field and update the timestamp if it's not there then create it. Thus filtering out what has been updated and only show these records rather than the whole table.
Sorry but new to Laravel any guidance is welcome thank you.

Hello i am new to Laravel so currently im doing a CRUD. I have created this insert function that works well except one value is never inserted. This is the code below:
public function storeClient(Request $request) {
$request->validate([
'name' => 'required',
'email' => 'required|email',
'phone' => 'nullable',
'age'=>'required',
]);
Client::create($request->all());
dd($request->phone);
return redirect('/')->with('msg', 'Client Saved successfully!.');
}
the phone' => 'nullable', value will not insert in the database unless i update the existing values. I tried this command dd($request->phone); and it shows the correct value from the user input. Any idea why the value will be inserted as null on database?
This is the value output when i make the dd command
I tried this other code which works well but im trying to use the default create() function of laravel. This is the other code i did that works well:
public function storeClient()
{
$client = new Client();
$client->name = request('name');
$client->email = request('email');
$client->phone_number = request('phone');
$client->age = request('age');
$client->save();
return redirect('/')->with('msg','Client Saved successfully!');
}
first i did not like nullable here 'phone' => 'nullable',
then u should see what do you register in your Client table phone_number or phone,
$client->phone_number = request('phone');
i think you should rename your input name phone to phone_number and will work
When you are trying to use default create method the fields names must be same as in database.
$client->phone_number = request('phone');
this line works due to the name you entered manually.
to work with default create method change the name of field in database as phone.
I am trying to increment a column and updateorcreate a record in one query by doing so:
$model = Model::updateOrCreate([
'email' => $email
], ['received_at' => $received_at])->incremet('received_count');
This does the job as I wanted it too. It updates or create a record and increments the received_count column.
But after the query, I wanted to get the updated/created row, but when I log $model, it only logs 0 or 1. I can confirm that this is because of the ->increment().
But to be honest, I don't know any way how to increment the received_count column other than how I currently did it.
How do I achieve so that it updates or create a record, at the same time increments the received_count column, and after all of this, returns the updated/created object?
As much as posssible, I want this all in one query. Getting the model should be a memory.
$model = Model::updateOrCreate(['email' => $email], ['received_at' => $received_at]);
$model->increment('received_count');
$model->refresh(); // this will refresh all information for your model.
or you can simply:
$model = Model::updateOrCreate(['email' => $email], ['received_at' => $received_at]);
tap($model)->increment('id'); // this will return refreshed model.
just fresh model after incremet:
$model = Model::updateOrCreate([
'email' => $email
], ['received_at' => $received_at]);
$model->incremet('received_count');
$model->fresh();
I'm trying to create a subscription with cashier. it was working fine yesterday but now there's a problem and i don't know what changed. the problem is subscription is being created on stripe and correct data is returned but not all data is added in subscriptions table. The problem is in this function.
// dd($this->name,$subscription->id,$this->plan,$this->quantity,$trialEndsAt);
dd('builder',$this->owner->subscriptions()->create([
'name' => $this->name,
'stripe_id' => $subscription->id,
'stripe_plan' => $this->plan,
'quantity' => $this->quantity,
'trial_ends_at' => $trialEndsAt,
'ends_at' => null,
]));
You see the above commented dd() shows all data but after create(); it only shows
#attributes: array:4 [▼
"user_id" => 18
"updated_at" => "2020-12-19 12:24:04"
"created_at" => "2020-12-19 12:24:04"
"id" => 46
]
these 4 columns. Now what other thing changed was this was also happening in users table when registering a new user and i solved that with
public function __construct(array $attributes = [])
{
parent::__construct($attributes);
}
I think it stoped working after this. I tried removing it , also adding it to subscriptions model but nothing works. HEELLLPPPP
EDIT: I noticed that this create function is working but just not adding my given values.I did include fillable array and as I said it was working before.
$this->assertDatabaseHas() not working with JSON/JSONb columns.
So how can I tests these types of columns in Laravel?
Currently, I have a store action. How can I perform an assertion, that a specific column with pre-defined values was saved.
Something like
['options->language', 'en']
is NOT an option, cause I have an extensive JSON with meta stuff.
How can I check the JSON in DB at once?
UPD
Now can be done like that.
I have solved it with this one-liner (adjust it to your models/fields)
$this->assertEquals($store->settings, Store::find($store->id)->settings);
Laravel 7+
Not sure how far back this solution works.
I found out the solution. Ignore some of the data label, Everything is accessible, i was just play around with my tests to figure it out.
/**
* #test
*/
public function canUpdate()
{
$authUser = UserFactory::createDefault();
$this->actingAs($authUser);
$generator = GeneratorFactory::createDefault();
$request = [
'json_field_one' => [
'array-data',
['more-data' => 'cool'],
'data' => 'some-data',
'collection' => [
['key' => 'value'],
'data' => 'some-more-data'
],
],
'json_field_two' => [],
];
$response = $this->putJson("/api/generators/{$generator->id}", $request);
$response->assertOk();
$this->assertDatabaseHas('generators', [
'id' => $generator->id,
'generator_set_id' => $generator->generatorSet->id,
// Testing for json requires arrows for accessing the data
// For Collection data, you should use numbers to access the indexes
// Note: Mysql dose not guarantee array order if i recall. Dont quote me on that but i'm pretty sure i read that somewhere. But for testing this works
'json_field_one->0' => 'array-data',
'json_field_one->1->more-data' => 'cool',
// to access properties just arrow over to the property name
'json_field_one->data' => 'some-data',
'json_field_one->collection->data' => 'some-more-data',
// Nested Collection
'json_field_one->collection->0->key' => 'value',
// Janky way to test for empty array
// Not really testing for empty
// only that the 0 index is not set
'json_field_two->0' => null,
]);
}
Note: The below solution is tested on Laravel Version: 9.x and Postgres version: 12.x
and the solution might not work on lower version of laravel
There would be two condition to assert json column into database.
1. Object
Consider Object is in json column in database as shown below:
"properties" => "{"attributes":{"id":1}}"
It can assert as
$this->assertDatabaseHas("table_name",[
"properties->attributes->id"=>1
]);
2. Array
Consider array is in json column as shown below:
"properties" => "[{"id":1},{"id":2}]"
It can assert as
$this->assertDatabaseHas("table_name",[
"properties->0->id"=>1,
"properties->1->id"=>2,
]);
Using json_encode on the value worked for me:
$this->assertDatabaseHas('users', [
'name' => 'Gaurav',
'attributes' => json_encode([
'gender' => 'Male',
'nationality' => 'Indian',
]),
]);
I have a code:-
$tokenUpdated = AppToken::updateOrCreate(
array(
'user_id' => $user_id, 'token' => $token),
array('expiry'=>$expiryTime,
'created_date'=>$created_at,
'modified_date'=>$created_at)
);
Though new rows are being inserted, the expiry, created_date fields values aren't getting saved. They records show NULL value which are default values.
What am I doing wrong?
First you need to check if expiry and created_date are returning values, if so then you could use the updateOrCreate function like this:
$tokenUpdated = AppToken::updateOrCreate(
['user_id' => $user_id, 'token' => $token]
['expiry'=>$expiryTime,
'created_date'=>$created_at,
'modified_date'=>$created_at
]
);
