$table2= new Table2();

without

$table2->field1 = $table1->field1;
$table2->field2 = $table1->field2;

where I have multiple fields How do I use it? to be able to write short code

CodePudding user response：

If all the fields are same in both tables, you can try,

$table1 = Table1::find($id);
// Since $table1 is an object so you have to convert it into array bcs create accepts only array
$table1 = $table1->toArray();
// Also you will have id as autoincrement in table2 so you have to remove id of record of table1 before inserting to table2.
unset($table1['id']);
//Now insert array into table2
Table2::create($table1);

Laravel has the replicate() function that will do your job.

This is how you can use it:

$table1 = Table1::find($id);
$table2 = $table1->replicate();
$table2 = $table2->toArray();
Table2::create($table2);

This function will clone your one model data into another object. If you want to change/add/replace any data from the model data then you can also add/modify it:

$table1 = Table1::find($id);
$table2 = $table1->replicate()->fill([
    'field_name' => 'value'        // Override any data
    'new_field_name' => 'value'    // Add new field data
]);
$table2 = $table2->toArray();
Table2::create($table2);

I hope that this is what you are looking for.
