laravel 5.7 how to pass request of controller to model and save - laravel

Question

I am trying to pass $request from a function in controller to a function in model.
THis is my controller function:
PostController.php
public function store(Request $request, post $post)
{
$post->title = $request->title;
$post->description = $request->description;
$post->save();
return redirect(route('post.index'));
}
how save data in model Post.php?
I want the controller to only be in the role of sending information. Information is sent to the model. All calculations and storage are performed in the model
Thanks

You can make it even easier. Laravel has it's own helper "request()", which can be called anywhere in your code.
So, generally, you can do this:
PostController.php
public function store()
{
$post_model = new Post;
// for queries it's better to use transactions to handle errors
\DB::beginTransaction();
try {
$post_model->postStore();
\DB::commit(); // if there was no errors, your query will be executed
} catch (\Exception $e) {
\DB::rollback(); // either it won't execute any statements and rollback your database to previous state
abort(500);
}
// you don't need any if statements anymore. If you're here, it means all data has been saved successfully
return redirect(route('post.index'));
}
Post.php
public function postStore()
{
$request = request(); //save helper result to variable, so it can be reused
$this->title = $request->title;
$this->description = $request->description;
$this->save();
}
I'll show you full best practice example for update and create:
web.php
Route::post('store/post/{post?}', 'PostController#post')->name('post.store');
yourform.blade.php - can be used for update and create
<form action='{{ route('post.store', ['post' => $post->id ?? null]))'>
<!-- some inputs here -->
<!-- some inputs here -->
</form>
PostController.php
public function update(Post $post) {
// $post - if you sent null, in this variable will be 'new Post' result
// either laravel will try to find id you provided in your view, like Post::findOrFail(1). Of course, if it can't, it'll abort(404)
// then you can call your method postStore and it'll update or create for your new post.
// anyway, I'd recommend you to do next
\DB::beginTransaction();
try {
$post->fill(request()->all())->save();
\DB::commit();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
\DB::rollback();
abort(500);
}
return redirect(route('post.index'));
}

Based on description, not sure what you want exactly but assuming you want a clean controller and model . Here is one way
Model - Post
class Post {
$fillable = array(
'title', 'description'
);
}
PostController
class PostController extend Controller {
// store function normally don't get Casted Objects as `Post`
function store(\Request $request) {
$parameters = $request->all(); // get all your request data as an array
$post = \Post::create($parameters); // create method expect an array of fields mentioned in $fillable and returns a save dinstance
// OR
$post = new \Post();
$post->fill($parameters);
}
}
I hope it helps

You need to create new model simply by instantiating it:
$post = new Post; //Post is your model
then put content in record
$post->title = $request->title;
$post->description = $request->description;
and finally save it to db later:
$post->save();
To save all data in model using create method.You need to setup Mass Assignments when using create and set columns in fillable property in model.
protected $fillable = [ 'title', 'description' ];
and then call this with input
$post = Post::create([ 'parametername' => 'parametervalue' ]);
and if request has unwanted entries like token then us except on request before passing.
$post = Post::create([ $request->except(['_token']) ]);
Hope this helps.

I find to answer my question :
pass $request to my_method in model Post.php :
PostController.php:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$post_model = new Post;
$saved = $post_model->postStore($request);
//$saved = response of my_method in model
if($saved){
return redirect(route('post.index'));
}
}
and save data in the model :
Post.php
we can return instance or boolean to the controller .
I returned bool (save method response) to controller :
public function postStore($request)
{
$this->title = $request->title;
$this->description = $request->description;
$saved = $this->save();
//save method response bool
return $saved;
}
in this way, all calculations and storage are performed in the model (best way to save data in MVC)

Answer 5

public function store(Request $request)
{
$book = new Song();
$book->title = $request['title'];
$book->artist = $request['artist'];
$book->rating = $request['rating'];
$book->album_id = $request['album_id'];
$result= $book->save();
}
