Bulk/Batch Update/create and return IDs

[DemonContractLabs]

Hi,

While developing applications using We always face an issue where we want to create or update multiple records and have id return. General what we have to do is use loop or a callback.

So I had an idea what if we have a function which can do this for us.

Example :

If i wanted to updated multiple records from given set of ids and I do not know if that record still exists or not.

$ids = [ 1, 7 ,13 ,123 ];

Post::whereIn('id',$ids)
->update(['"author_id' => 1]);

Or

Flight::where('active', 1)
->where('destination', 'San Diego')
->update(['delayed' => 1]);

In above examples

What if we had function

$query->updateGetIds();
Or
$ query->createGetIds();

Notes : ids of affected rows.

I don't know the idea my not be great but can be useful in every day coding.
