New Quick entities can be created and persisted to the database by creating a new entity instance, setting the attributes on the entity, and then calling the save method.
When we call save, the record is persisted from the database and the primary key is set to the auto-generated value (if any).
We can shortcut the setters above using a fill method.
Finds the first matching record or creates a new entity.
Sets attributes data from a struct of key / value pairs. This method does the following, in order:
Guard against read-only attributes.
Attempt to call a relationship setter.
Calls custom attribute setters for attributes that exist.
Throws an error if an attribute does not exist (if ignoreNonExistentAttributes
Populate is simply an alias for fill. Use whichever one suits you best.
Creates a new entity with the given attributes and then saves the entity.
There is no need to call save when using the create method.
Finds the first matching record or returns an unloaded new entity.
Finds the first matching record or creates a new entity.
Returns the entity with the id value as the primary key. If no record is found, it returns a new unloaded entity.
Returns the entity with the id value as the primary key. If no record is found, it returns a newly created entity.
Updates an existing record or creates a new record with the given attributes.
Hydration is a term to describe filling an entity with a struct of data and then marking it as loaded, without doing any database queries. For example, this might be useful when hydrating a user from session data instead of doing a query every request.
Hyrdates an entity from a struct of data. Hydrating an entity fills the entity and then marks it as loaded.
If the entity's keys are not included in the struct of data, a MissingHydrationKey is thrown.
Hydrates a new collection of entities from an array of structs.
