laravel 5.6 bulk inserting json data

Question

I am trying to build an API to store and retrieve MCQ exam papers. I am using laravel resource class to send handle Json data. I need to insert 40 records into MySQL databas

Answer 1

insert select query with update models array field

$newModelsArray=ModelTable::where(....)->get();


            foreach ($newModelsArray as $objectItr) {

            $newObjectItr = $objectItr->replicate();
            $newObjectItr->field=newValue;
            $newObjectItr->save();
            }

and there you'll update and save in to the table (clone it back to the database) ->replicate() will clone the modelObject and the ->save() will add it to the database inside the loop !

Thanks Ali
