Laravel Eloquent ORM Transactions

Question

The Eloquent ORM is quite nice, though I\'m wondering if there is an easy way to setup MySQL transactions using innoDB in the same fashion as PDO, or if I would have to exte

Answer 1

If you want to avoid closures, and happy to use facades, the following keeps things nice and clean:

try {
    \DB::beginTransaction();

    $user = \Auth::user();
    $user->fill($request->all());
    $user->push();

    \DB::commit();

} catch (Throwable $e) {
    \DB::rollback();
}

If any statements fail, commit will never hit, and the transaction won't process.
