Eloquent Mutators and Accessors in Lumen
Hi Guys,
I am trying to update a field, using "Mutators" change to database is not happening. Any Idea
In controller
$breakingNews = BreakingNews::findOrFail($id);
$breakingNews->setAttribute('expired_at', Carbon::today()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
$breakingNews->save();
/**
* @param null $value
*/
public function setExpiredAtAttribute($value)
{
if (!$value) {
$this->attributes['expired_at'] = Carbon::today()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
} else {
$this->attributes['expired_at'] = $value;
}
}
I also followed the link https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/eloquent-mutators-and-accessors-in-laravel--cms-30312
It should be
$breakingNews = BreakingNews::findOrFail($id);
$breakingNews->expired_at = Carbon::today()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
$breakingNews->save();
But in your model, you will always have a $value, so if (!$value) { is not relevant.
You better have to choose a default value in your database as CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
This doc is far better than yours : https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/eloquent-mutators#defining-a-mutator :)
And last but not least, I don't know if Mutators are available in Lumen.
@VILFAGO - It shouldn't be necessarily like this.
$breakingNews = BreakingNews::findOrFail($id);
$breakingNews->setAttribute('expired_at', Carbon::now());
$breakingNews->save();
Worked for me now with same code but using now()
Yeah... but did you try to set another date ?
I think it will not work.
@VILFAGO - I try it with other date, but the what is the benefit of ->setAttribute?
