Laravel Eloquent's Insert/Update Many

Laravel's batch insert or batch update for collection of eloquent models. Perform single query for batch insert or update operations. This updates the created_at and updated_at column of the models and the tables. The method names insertMany and updateMany is based from the eloquent method name saveMany. Both insertMany and updateMany can accept collection of models or just plain array data.

Installation

composer require ajcastro/insert-update-many

Usage

Insert Many

Directly pass array or collection of models unlike Laravel's built-in insert() which only accept arrays. This already sets the created_at and updated_at columns.

$users = factory(User::class, 10)->make();
User::insertMany($users);

How it works

The passed collection of models is transformed to its array form, only including fillable attributes, and passed its array form to Laravel's native insert() method.

Update Many

Update array or collection of models. This perform a single update query for all the passed models. Only the dirty or changed attributes will be included in the update. This updates the updated_at column of the models and the tables.

User::updateMany($users); // update many models using id as the default key
User::updateMany($users, 'id'); // same as above
User::updateMany($users, 'username'); // use username as key instead of id

Specifying which columns to be updated

User::updateMany($users, 'id', ['email', 'first_name', 'last_name']);

How it works

This will produce a query like this:

UPDATE
   `users`
SET
   `email` =
   CASE
      WHEN
         `id` = '426'
      THEN
         'favian.russel@example.com'
      WHEN
         `id` = '427'
      THEN
         'opurdy@example.org'
      WHEN
         `id` = '428'
      THEN
         'kaylah.hyatt@example.com'
      ELSE
         `email`
   END
, `first_name` =
   CASE
      WHEN
         `id` = '426'
      THEN
         'Orie'
      WHEN
         `id` = '427'
      THEN
         'Hubert'
      WHEN
         `id` = '428'
      THEN
         'Mikayla'
      ELSE
         `first_name`
   END
, `last_name` =
   CASE
      WHEN
         `id` = '426'
      THEN
         'Weissnat'
      WHEN
         `id` = '427'
      THEN
         'Wiza'
      WHEN
         `id` = '428'
      THEN
         'Keeling'
      ELSE
         `last_name`
   END
WHERE
   `id` IN
   (
      426, 427, 428
   );
