Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::save()

Question

I am trying to call Eloquent\'s save() method on an existing record but getting an error from Illuminate\'s Query Builder.

Following the documentation on Laravel\'s web

Answer 1

you have to fetch your model after given an ->where

$this->employee = Employee::where('login', $login)->get();

or

$this->employee = Employee::where('login', $login)->first();

if you don't do that your Object $this->employee would't be one and you could not use ->save()
