Answers for "eloquent save method on update"

laravel difference between fill and update

<?php$user = User::find(1); 
// This will update immediately
$user->update(['first_name' => 'Braj', 'last_name' => 'Mohan']);

// This will not update underlying data store immediately
$user->fill(['first_name' => 'Fred', 'last_name' => 'Avad']);
// At this point user object is still only in memory with updated values but actual update query is not performed.
// so we can have more logic here 
$user->is_active = true;
// Then finally we can save it.
$user->save(); // This will also make user active

create new record via model in laravel

$userData = array('username' => 'Me', 'email' => '[email protected]');
User::create($userData);
