First Or Create

Question

I know using:

User::firstOrCreate(array(\'name\' => $input[\'name\'], \'email\' => $input[\'email\'], \'password\' => $input[\'password\']));
         


        

Answer 1

firstOrCreate() checks for all the arguments to be present before it finds a match.

If you only want to check on a specific field, then use firstOrCreate(['field_name' => 'value']) like

$user = User::firstOrCreate([
    'email' => 'abcd@gmail.com'
], [
    'firstName' => 'abcd',
    'lastName' => 'efgh',
    'veristyName'=>'xyz',
]);

Then it check only the email
