Is there a quick way to modify a SQL query generated by Laravel\'s Fluent to have an INSERT IGNORE instead of the usual INSERT?

Add the follow method insertIgnore to your Model

usesTimestamps()) {
            $model->updateTimestamps();
        }

        $attributes = $model->getAttributes();

        $query = $model->newBaseQueryBuilder();
        $processor = $query->getProcessor();
        $grammar = $query->getGrammar();

        $table = $grammar->wrapTable($model->getTable());
        $keyName = $model->getKeyName();
        $columns = $grammar->columnize(array_keys($attributes));
        $values = $grammar->parameterize($attributes);

        $sql = "insert ignore into {$table} ({$columns}) values ({$values})";

        $id = $processor->processInsertGetId($query, $sql, array_values($attributes));

        $model->setAttribute($keyName, $id);

        return $model;
    }
}

You can use:

App\User::insertIgnore([
    'name' => 'Marco Pedraza',
    'email' => 'mpdrza@gmail.com'
]);

The next query it will be executed:

insert ignore into `users` (`name`, `email`, `updated_at`, `created_at`) values (?, ?, ?, ?)

This method automatically add/remove the Eloquent timestamps if you have enabled or disabled.
