Laravel updateOrCreate Method -- Update the same column that you're matching-CodePudding

You know in updateOrCreate method we pass two parameters. The first parameter is used to check for a match and the second parameter carries the data that needs to be updated.

But in my scenario I need to update the same data that I'm passing in the 1st parameter. But I can't update it If I pass the same in the second parameter.

What could be the solution for this?

CodePudding user response：

With the updateOrCreate method, the second parameter is optional, so you can ignore it.

You might want to check the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder::updateOrCreate() method to see how that works.

Reading your comment, you can do something like this:

YourModel::updateOrCreate(
    ['your_field' => 9],
    ['your_field' => 10]
);

// Or
YourModel::where('your_field', 9)->update(['your_field' => 10]);
