Eloquent model not updating updated_at timestamp

Question

I\'m using Laravel 5.1. To make it simple, I have the following code

Migration:

Schema::create(\'sitemap_data\', function (Blueprint $table) {
    // Pri         


        

Answer 1

It is possible actually:

$model->updated_at = Carbon::now();
$model->save(['timestamps' => FALSE]);

That will properly save the updated_at to now. If you're not sure if any of the model's columns have changed, but you do want to update the updated_at regardless - this is the way to go.
