Laravel 8 - Insert in related table in model-CodePudding

Whenever I create a "user", I have to create a line in different tables (like account). I know that in the controller I can create the user and account like this:

$user = User::create($user_inputs);
$account = $user->account()->create($account_inputs);
$OtherTables...

Is there a way to do this in the model? Always when someone creates a user from another controller, will the lines be automatically inserted in the other tables. Or is it always necessary to indicate it in the controller every time?

CodePudding user response：

You can use model events for this. https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent#events-using-closures

<?php
 
namespace App\Models;
 
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
 
class User extends Model
{
    /**
     * The "booted" method of the model.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    protected static function booted()
    {
        // This code will be called every time a new user is inserted into the system
        static::created(function ($user) {
            $user->account()->create([ 'name' => $user->name ])
        });
    }
}

There are few more events you can use within booted method, the name tells clearly what they do.

creating
created
updating
updated
saving
saved
deleting

CodePudding user response：

You can use Laravl observer

 <?php

namespace App\Observers;

use App\Models\User;

class UserObserver
{
    /**
     * Handle the user "created" event.
     *
     * @param  \App\User  $user
     * @return void
     */
    public function creating(User $user)
    {
        $user->account()->create([
            // your data 
        ]);
    }
  }
