Laravel eloquent: Update A Model And its Relationships
Solution 1
You can implement the observer pattern to catch the "updating" eloquent's event.
First, create an observer class:
class RelationshipUpdateObserver {
public function updating($model) {
$data = $model->getAttributes();
$model->relationship->fill($data['relationship']);
$model->push();
}
}
Then assign it to your model
class Client extends Eloquent {
public static function boot() {
parent::boot();
parent::observe(new RelationshipUpdateObserver());
}
}
And when you will call the update method, the "updating" event will be fired, so the observer will be triggered.
$client->update(array(
"relationship" => array("foo" => "bar"),
"username" => "baz"
));
See the laravel documentation for the full list of events.
Solution 2
You may try something like this, for example a Client
model and an Address
related model:
// Get the parent/Client model
$client = Client::with('address')->find($id);
// Fill and save both parent/Client and it's related model Address
$client->fill(array(...))->address->fill(array(...))->push();
There are other ways to save relation. You may check this answer for more details.

With an eloquent model you can update data simply by calling
$model->update( $data );
But unfortunately this does not update the relationships.
If you want to update the relationships too you will need to assign each value manually and call push() then:
$model->name = $data['name']; $model->relationship->description = $data['relationship']['description']; $model->push();
Althrough this works it will become a mess if you have a lot of data to assign.
I am looging for something like
$model->push( $data ); // this should assign the data to the model like update() does but also for the relations of $model
Can somebody please help me out?
