I guess you could check the increment ID number with the ID of the record that is being returned.

First Or Create Result
Hey Guys!
Whe you use first or create function from eloquent, Is there a way to know if the data was persisted or located?
Example:
$dadosPagamento = [
'pedidos_id' => $pedido->id,
'meio_pagamento' => 'Asaas',
'codigo_pagamento' => $idAsaas,
'valor' => $valor
];
$pagamento = Pagamento::firstOrCreate($dadosPagamento);
I wanted to know if the item was created, if it was created i would update my slack channel, If it was only found i would ignore it.
Cheers!

I think you can use $pagamento->wasRecentlyCreated.
See: https://laravel.com/api/5.2/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Model.html
bool $wasRecentlyCreated Indicates if the model was inserted during the current request lifecycle.

Thank you @trs_uk Exactly what i was looking for, I knew laravel had this somewhere.
Level 1
Use wasRecentlyCreated property as for checking if inserted now or exist.
$product = Wish::firstOrCreate(['product_id'=>$product_id,'user_id'=>$user_id]);
$product->save();
if($product->wasRecentlyCreated){
echo 'Created successfully';
} else {
echo 'Already exist';
}

Sorry im new to Laravel but am I right in thinking $product->save() is not necessary here?

@jimbojjz If you read about firstOrCreate it is looking for the first record in the DB...if it doesn't find one...it creates a new one. So, to answer your question, yes most would save the new record.

Im using it without save and its making the db insertion though.

Save is not needed and matter of fact you are creating then updating. (Updating nothing) but if it finds the record it requires the save() method I believe. I generally use findOrNew instead.
FindOrCreate is good for like a user's profile after a new user hits their profile page. If the profile doesn't exist it will create a new one with defaults and return that object.
Where as find or new will not create but return a find object or a new empty class ready to manipulate

Yeah I had initially used firstOrNew() and might go back to it. I just was wondering if I was missing something obvious as I removed save() from firstOrCreate().
Thanks.

Or anyone wanted something to update the model if found. Then you can use Model::updateOrCreate($attributes, $values);
User::updateOrCreate(
['email' => '[email protected]'], // Find by email
['first_name' => 'Jon', 'last_name' => 'Doe'] // Update or Create with these
);
