Yes, you can use the boot method in the Transaction model to save the TransactionLog when a Transaction happens. Here's an example implementation:
class Transaction extends Model
{
protected $fillable = ['amount', 'description'];
protected static function boot()
{
parent::boot();
static::created(function ($transaction) {
$transactionLog = new TransactionLog([
'transaction_id' => $transaction->id,
'amount' => $transaction->amount,
'description' => $transaction->description,
]);
$transactionLog->save();
});
}
}
In this example, we're using the created event to automatically create a new TransactionLog record whenever a new Transaction is created. We're also assuming that the TransactionLog model has a transaction_id foreign key to link it to the Transaction.
Note that this implementation assumes that you're using Eloquent to save your models. If you're using a different ORM or database library, you'll need to adjust the code accordingly.
