Models & Queries
Eloquent model basics and querying
php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Post extends Model
{
protected $fillable = ['title', 'body', 'user_id'];
// Basic queries
$posts = Post::all();
$post = Post::find(1);
$post = Post::where('status', 'published')->first();
$posts = Post::where('views', '>', 100)->get();
// Create, update, delete
$post = Post::create(['title' => 'New Post']);
$post->update(['title' => 'Updated']);
$post->delete();
