Using Raw, how to return collection of updated row? For example: $updated = DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)->update(['votes' => 123]); I was expecting dd($updated) to return updated row of collection but it returned 1. {{$updated->votes}} should return 123 That's not how it works. You can't expect this query will return you an object: $updated = DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)->update(['votes' => 123]); If you want to use Query Builder only as you mentioned in your question, you'll need to get an object manually: $data = DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)->first(); With Eloquent you can

How should I manage the multi-language indexes (For example: page / page_translations models should become page_en / page_fr indexes). I am using " Dimsav\Translatable " package. Page model : id, status_id, created_at, updated_at PageTranslation model : id, page_id, locale, title, slug, body Algolia offers support for this ( https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/search/multilingual-search/ ) but I am not sure how to achieve this with Laravel Scout . The only solution that comes in my mind is to index both language rows (from the translations model) in the same index storing the locale and

I'm using Laravel 5.3 to validate start_date and end_date for an event. end_date should be equal to start_date or the after date. end_date >= start_date $validator = Validator::make($data, [ 'start_date' => 'required|date', 'end_date' => 'required|date|after:start_date', ]); I tried to use after , but it only works for end_date > start_date. Of course, I can add custom rule using Validator::extend , but I'd like to know if we can do without adding custom rule. Is there any way to add negative rule or add >= rule? Thanks Sujiraj R $validator = Validator::make($data, [ 'start_date' => 'required

I have a question that might sound silly to you so please forgive me. I am not sure when do I use the routes/api.php file. If I want to delete a record from a datatable with ajax, do I need to create a separate controller and put the route in api.php or can I use the same controller I use for everything else and put the route in web.php? bernadd I'm not sure if you read the Laravel documentation or how much familiar you are with Laravel, but in Laravel 5.3 you have web routes and api routes in separate files. You use api routes only for registering your api (ie if you are building a rest api

Since upgrading laravel from 5.1 to 5.3, I've got couple of odd issues with Validation. When I post a data like this: firstName null And the validation rules are like this: $validator = Validator::make($postData, [ 'firstName' => 'string|max:255', 'lastName' => 'string|max:255' ]); The above fails with the messages something like "The XYZ must be a string." . What I don't understand is: Why is the validation failing when it is not set as required ? Meaning, it should ignore it and not throw an error if the value is empty, right? Why does the validation fail if the value is set as null ? Why
