I have the following code in my method which I am sending via ajax to the controller method :
$newUser = \App\UserInfo::updateOrCreate([
'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
'about' => $request->get('about'),
'sec_email' => $request->get('sec_email'),
'gender' => $request->get("gender"),
'country' => $request->get('country'),
'dob' => $request->get('dob'),
'address' => $request->get('address'),
'mobile' => $request->get('cell_no')
]);
The dd($request->all()) gives me :
array:8 [
"_token" => "fHeEPfTvgMD3FpIBmmc6DmKXFaiuWKZEiOhg6twQ"
"about" => "Some about me."
"sec_email" => "example@gmail.com"
"country" => "Priority highest"
"gender" => "male"
"dob" => "12/12/1990"
"address" => "Some address"
"cell_no" => "234234234"
]
which is perfect.
Jquery code :
$('#submit-editProfile-form').on('click', function() {
var profileEditForm = $("#edit-user-profile");
var formData = $('#edit-user-profile').serialize();
profileEditForm.on('submit', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
$.ajax({
url:'/freelance/edit-userProfile-info',
type:'POST',
data:formData,
error: function (data) {
console.log('Error');
}
});
}).submit();
});
Now the problem is that i have a record in my table, But the above code creates another one, And the second is that it creates multiply by two records on each button click (request).
In your use case, you should specify a second parameter. The first indicates the conditions for a match and second is used to specify which fields to update.
$newUser = \App\UserInfo::updateOrCreate([
//Add unique field combo to match here
//For example, perhaps you only want one entry per user:
'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
],[
'about' => $request->get('about'),
'sec_email' => $request->get('sec_email'),
'gender' => $request->get("gender"),
'country' => $request->get('country'),
'dob' => $request->get('dob'),
'address' => $request->get('address'),
'mobile' => $request->get('cell_no')
]);
Here is an example from the documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/eloquent
// If there's a flight from Oakland to San Diego, set the price to $99.
// If no matching model exists, create one.
$flight = App\Flight::updateOrCreate(
['departure' => 'Oakland', 'destination' => 'San Diego'],
['price' => 99]
);
Eloquent has the method called updateOrCreate, which can be used like this example:
<?
$flight = UserInfo::updateOrCreate(
[
'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
],
[
'about' => $request->get('about'),
'sec_email' => $request->get('sec_email'),
'gender' => $request->get("gender"),
'country' => $request->get('country'),
'dob' => $request->get('dob'),
'address' => $request->get('address'),
'mobile' => $request->get('cell_no')
],
);
user_id could be your best way to identify your rows.The following is the sign of the method.
/**
* Create or update a record matching the attributes, and fill it with values.
*
* @param array $attributes
* @param array $values
* @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
*/
public function updateOrCreate(array $attributes, array $values = [])
