What's difference between Laravel Model functions “create” and “insert”?

Question

Laravel Model allows two functions for inserting the values to the database table. They are

Create: User::create([\'id\'=>1,\'name\'=>\'stack\']);

Answer 1

The model does not have an insert, calling Model::insert results in a call to (the Query Builder) Builder::insert through the __call() magic method which then avoids the Eloquent benefits like setting the timestamps for created_at and updated_at fields.

It also avoids the Mass-assignment protection which Eloquent protects you from inserting unintentional data.

So I would always use create or setting each field separately (if you need to modify the incoming data) and call save() on the model instance.
