Eloquent ORM

I this lesson I will show you how to access database using laravel eloquent ORM(Object Relational Mapping)

Create Model:

php artisan make:model Post

Create Model With Migration:

php artisan make:model Post -m

Model:

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    //
}

Define Table Name:

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'posts';
    protected $primaryKey = 'flight_id';
    public $incrementing = false;
    public $timestamps = false;
}

Run Query:

$posts = App\Post::where('active', 1)
               ->orderBy('name', 'desc')
               ->take(10)
               ->get();

Retrieving Single Models:

$post = App\Post::find(1);

$post = App\Post::where('active', 1)->first();

$post = App\Post::firstWhere('active', 1);

With Not Found Exceptions:

$post = App\Post::findOrFail(1);

$post = App\Post::where('legs', '>', 100)->firstOrFail();

Retrieving Aggregates:

$count = App\Post::where('active', 1)->count();
$max = App\Post::where('active', 1)->max('price');
$min = App\Post::where('active', 1)->min('price');
$sum = App\Post::where('active', 1)->sum('price');
$avg = App\Post::where('active', 1)->avg('price');

Inserts:

$post = new Post;
$post->title = 'The title';
$post->save();

$user = User::create([
    'first_name' => 'Jone',
    'last_name' => 'Done',
    'title' => 'Developer',
]);

$user = User::create([
    'first_name' => 'Jone',
    'last_name' => 'Done',
    'title' => 'Developer',
]);

$user->title = 'Painter';
$user->save();

Update:

$post = Post::find(1);
$post->title = 'The title';
$post->save();

Mass Assignment:

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = ['title'];
}

$post = App\Post::create(['name' => 'Flight 10']);

Guarding Attributes:

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    /**
     * The attributes that aren't mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $guarded = ['title'];
}

firstOrCreate/ firstOrNew:

$post = App\Post::firstOrCreate(['title' => 'Flight 10']);

$post = App\Post::firstOrCreate(
    ['title' => 'Flight 10'],
    ['status' => 1]
);

$post = App\Post::firstOrNew(['title' => 'Flight 10']);

$post = App\Post::firstOrNew(
    ['title' => 'Flight 10'],
    ['status' => 1]
);

Deleting Models:

$post = App\Post::find(1);

$post->delete();

App\Post::destroy(1);

App\Post::destroy(1, 2, 3);

App\Post::destroy([1, 2, 3]);

$deletedRows = App\Post::where('status', 0)->delete();
