Saving data with hasMany relationship

Question

I’m trying to do an update and three tables related to Laravel, the past data comes from a single view, and the relationships have been made, should be the update action of my controller that is not right follows below.

Update of CorretoresControllers

public function update(Corretor $corretor, Request $request) {
    $corretor->update($request->all());
    return redirect('corretores');
}

Model Corretor

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use App\Endereco;
use App\Contato;
use App\Documento;

class Corretor extends Model {

    protected $fillable = ['nome', 'email'];
    protected $table = 'corretors';

    public function endereco() {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Endereco');
    }

    public function contato() {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Contato');
    }

    public function documento(){
        return $this->hasMany('App\Documento');
    }
}

When the one dd($request->all()); returns the following data:

array:11 [▼
  "_method" => "PUT"
  "_token" => "sWlp1StEgwx7PXZbjo7nV8eYecKpic32E21YeWxA"
  "nome" => "Bruno Neves 1"
  "email" => "[email protected]"
  "logradouro" => "TV DO PARAISO 214"
  "numero" => "10"
  "telefone" => "9632242778"
  "celular1" => "9999-9999"

Already quado do um dd($corretor); returns only these data:

"id" => "13"
    "nome" => "Bruno Santos"
    "email" => "[email protected]"
    "created_at" => "2016-01-26 00:55:11"
    "updated_at" => "2016-02-04 03:14:27"

Answer 1

Whenever saving data on Laravel you need to define in the model the fields that are "fillable" in the case of $fillable.

Add the table fields you want to add in $fillable. I also always change the table and place a new field forget to change the value of this property.

Saving data in relationships

If you intend to save the relationship data, you need to specify this as this is not done automatically.

To save data from a relationship hasMany it is necessary to use the saveMany.

$documentos = [
   new App\Documento($dadosDocumento)
];

$enderecos = [
   new App\Endereco($dadosEndereco),
];

$contato->fill($dadosContato)->save();

$contato->documentos()->saveMany($documentos);

$contato->enderecos()->saveMany($enderecos);

I separated the data into different variables, like $dadosEndereco and $dadosContato. I usually use the method only. It can be done just like this:

$dadosEndereco = $request->only(['logradouro', 'numero'])

The result will be:

['logradouro' => 'Rua T', 'numero' => 116]
