Update with Eloquent

What is your question here?

Updating models can be done like your way and by doing something like this

$device = Devices::find($id);
$device->update([
    'deleted' => 1
]);

Now if find returns null you obviously can't update the model. Laravel has some protection for that as well

$device = Device::findOrFail($id); 

If you use the fill() method or create() or update() which use it then you need to set the $fillable array on the model.

class Devices extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['deleted'];
}

Devices::findOrFail($id)->update(['deleted'=>1]);

my question is, why not check updated ? and probe the two options and still do not, that more should be considered?

¯(°_o)/¯ In the nicest way I can't work out exactly what you are getting at, but to protect against mass-assignment might be the answer to that if I had to guess.

@phildawson I have no clue either... That might explain the different answers ;)

guys!!

finally it worked this way , since in the where the update came out "id = null " . What am I doing wrong?

    Devices::where('ID', '=', $id)->update(array('deleted' => 1));

What am I doing wrong?

have you changed what $id is from the last time you tested? :) that code should be equivalent of this. Does this work?

Devices::find($id)->update(['deleted' => 1]);

When in doubt temporally put in an integer of a device you know exists.

Devices::find(1)->update(['deleted' => 1]); // update device 1

thx for all!!!

2 years later, I've fixed this by using ur code.

Devices::where('ID', '=', $id)->update(array('deleted' => 1));

None of the suggestions from the others doesnt work on my code. My question is "are you using Lumen by any chance?" .

What was the laravel version on the time this thread was posted?

@YOS_GANI - Seems perhaps you need to add protected $primaryKey = 'ID'; to your class?
