Laravel Macros: Eloquent | insertAsModel

This package will add insertAsModel macro to Laravel's Eloquent Builder class.

Unlike insert, insertAsModel method will ensure that all inserted values will go through models' casts and mutators then it will just pass it to the insert method.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require laravel-macros/eloquent-insert-as-model

Usage

Assuming you have:

class User extends Model
{
     protected $casts = [
        'options' => 'json',
        'shelf'   => 'collection',
    ];
}

Normally if you will use the Model::insert method to insert a batch of entries, casts and mutators will be ignored and you will have to stringify the values yourself.

Using this package, you can insert values the same way you use Model::create, where all the proper casting and mutating logic will be applied.

User::insertAsModel([
    [
        'options' => ['sms' => true],
        'shelf'   => collect(['book1', 'book2', 'book3']),
    ],
    [
        'options' => ['sms' => false],
        'shelf'   => collect(['book1', 'book2']),
    ],
]);

This will prevent you from doing hacks like 'options' => json_encode(['sms' => true]).

Note: insertAsModel is not a multiple create calls. It will insert entries directly to the database (just like insert). For example it won't fire models events.
