laravel model callbacks after save, before save, etc

Question

Are there callbacks in Laravel like:

afterSave()
beforeSave()
etc

I searched but found nothing. If there are no such things - what is best

Answer 1

Your app can break using afarazit solution* Here's the fixed working version:

NOTE: saving or any other event won't work when you use eloquent outside of laravel, unless you require the events package and boot the events. This solution will work always.

class Page extends Eloquent {

   public function save(array $options = [])
   {
      // before save code 
      $result = parent::save($options); // returns boolean
      // after save code
      return $result; // do not ignore it eloquent calculates this value and returns this, not just to ignore

   }
}

So now when you save a Page object its save() function get called which includes the parent::save() function;

$page = new Page;
$page->title = 'My Title';
if($page->save()){
  echo 'Page saved';
}
