Hello @jostrander, did you find any solution to this problem I'm facing too ?

Model::firstOrNew() with soft deleted.
I am looking to find all objects whether trashed or not using the firstOrNew if possible.
function testMethod() {
$entity = Entity::firstOrNew('uuid' => $uuid); // This doesn't include trashed (as it shouldn't, but is it possible to have it find them?)
$entity->property = $newPropertyValue;
if ($entity->trashed()) {
$entity->restore();
}
$entity->save();
}

@magikman Just don't use static firstOrNew but simply call the same as the method does:
$attributes = ['field' => 'value', ...];
$entity = Entity::where($attributes)->withTrashed()->first() ?: new Entity($attributes);
if ($entity->trashed()) $entity->restore();

Thanks @JarekTkaczyk it's the perfect solution when you have primary key but when you have composite primary keys it simply fails right ?

@magikman Well, Eloquent fails with composite primary keys in general. Every ORM has some issues with this, even Doctrine forces constraints if you want to use composite keys.

Try this:
$entity = Entity::withTrashed()->firstOrNew('uuid' => $uuid);
Also to restore:
$entity = Entity::withTrashed()->firstOrNew('uuid' => $uuid)->restore();
