Hello everyone. I can't find any information, is it possible to check the filling of the pivot table in the same way as
if($data->save()){
//true
}else{
//false
}
I tried like this
...
$add_prod_tag = Product::find($req->id_pr);
if($req->tag_list){
if($add_prod_tag->tags()->attach($req->tag_list)){
return 'success';
}else{
return 'error';
}
}
A relationship record is added to the pivot table, but 'error' is always returned.
attach() returns void which means its result will always be evaluated as false in conditional statement.
If something is wrong with attaching, an exception will be thrown.
Why you need to check for success/error? On success, your code will continue executing. On error, an exception will be thrown. You may catch the exception and do whatever you like, or rely on Laravel exception handler.
@wim91 Classic XY Problem.
As @glukinho says, why do you need to know if attach “succeeds” or not? What is the actual problem you’re trying to solve here?
