Saving multiple records in a laravel eloquent create

I'm trying to save multiple records via

AppSettings::create(
    [
        'name' => 'mail_host',
        'type' => $emailsettingstype->id,
        'value' => '',

    ],
    [
        'name' => 'mail_port',
        'type' => $emailsettingstype->id,
        'value' => '',    
    ],
    [
        'name' => 'mail_username',
        'type' => $emailsettingstype->id,
        'value' => '',
    ],
);

But from the above, only the first array is getting created. Where am i going wrong? Any help is appreciated.

I think this should do (UPDATE: no longer possible since Laravel 8)

AppSettings::createMany([
    [
        'name'=>'mail_host',
        'type'=>$emailsettingstype->id,
        'value'=>'',

    ],
    [
        'name'=>'mail_port',
        'type'=>$emailsettingstype->id,
        'value'=>'',

    ],
    [
        'name'=>'mail_username',
        'type'=>$emailsettingstype->id,
        'value'=>'',
    ],
]);

Make sure you're passing an array of arrays, not a params of array.

UPDATE, you can use Model::insert() although according to what I've read, that method doesn't create/update the timestamps.

in seeder create an array and do foreach with Model::create(). All your records will be with timestamps


protected $array = [
    [...],
    [...],
    [...]
];

public function run()
{
    foreach ($this->array as $value) {
        Model::create($value);
    }
}

If you want to store multiple record in seeder use this method instead of insert because in my case I want to slug automatically created using spatie/laravel-sluggable pkg. If you used the insert or DB technique then you have to give the value for slug field also.

CategorySeeder

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use App\Servcategory;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

class CategorySeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeds.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        $categories = [
            [
                'name' => 'Automotive',
                // 'slug' => 'automotive',
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Business Services',
                // 'slug' => 'business-services',
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Computer, Telecom & IT Services',
                // 'slug' => 'computer-telecom-&-it-services',
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Education & Training',
                // 'slug' => 'education-&-training',
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Finance',
                // 'slug' => 'finance',
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Hospitals, Clinic, Medical',
                // 'slug' => 'hospitals-clinic-medical',
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Real Estate, Construction, Property',
                // 'slug' => 'real-estate-construction-property',
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Travel,Toursim & Hotels',
                // 'slug' => 'travel-toursim-&-hotels',
            ],
        ];

        // Servcategory::insert($categories);
        collect($categories)->each(function ($category) { Servcategory::create($category); });
    }
}

The Create many Method createMany is available on relationship check reference to this link and this documentation from laravel

so far my example look like this.

I have two models Pricing and AvailableService Model

Pricing Model

namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Pricing extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ["name", "price"];
    public function available(){
        return $this->hasMany(AvailableService::class, "pricing_id", "id");
    }
}

And the AvailableServiceMode look like this

namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class AvailableService extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ["pricing_id", "service_id"];
    public function service(){
        return $this->belongsTo(Service::class, "service_id", "id");
    }
}

So createMany operation look like this

$insertMany = Pricing::create(['name'=>request('name')]);
$insertMany->available()->createMany([
      ['service_id'=>1],
      ['service_id'=>2],
      ['service_id'=>3],
      ['service_id'=>4],
      ['service_id'=>5],
]);

And it works for, you can give it a try too. THANKS

In case some one searching for eloquent model, I used the following method:

foreach($arCategories as $v)
{                
    if($v>0){
        $obj = new Self(); // this is to have new instance of own
        $obj->page_id = $page_id;
        $obj->category_id = $v;
        $obj->save();
    }
}

$obj = new Self(); is a must otherwise it only saves single record when $this is used.

You can just use Eloquent::insert() link as below:

AppSettings::insert([
    [
        'name'=>'mail_host',
        'type'=>$emailsettingstype->id,
        'value'=>'',

    ],
    [
        'name'=>'mail_port',
        'type'=>$emailsettingstype->id,
        'value'=>'',

    ],
    [
        'name'=>'mail_username',
        'type'=>$emailsettingstype->id,
        'value'=>'',
    ],
]);

The problem with above is that it won't update timestamps, find examples here
