ModelExtrasTrait is a trait to be used in Models - provides the following methods
saveAssociated
method is a wrapper method, that allows to save BelongsToMany
and HasMany
related models in a single transaction, e.g. suppose we need to save a product with its related categories, we would use
Product::saveAssociated($data, ['associated' => 'categories']);
the $data
should be an array like this
$data = ['name', 'price', 'categories_ids' => [1, 3, 7]]
