Laravel: Get the ID of User::create and insert new row using that ID

Question

I have AuthController in Laravel and I have 2 tables, one is Users and one is Users_Information and I want to insert into Users_Information upon registration.

So I want to get the id from the following method and insert a new row and set the column ID of that row to the ID of the user I have just created.

     /**
     * Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
     *
     * @param  array  $data
     * @return User
     */
    protected function create(array $data)
    {
        return User::create([
            'username' => $data['username'] . ' ' . $data['username2'],
            'mail' => $data['mail'],
            'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
        ]);
    }

I want to insert into Users_Information with a column id, current_food and current_level

I have a controller for the Users_Information called UserInformation, would I just call UserInformation::create but how would I get the id from the User::create?

Answer 1

Try to use ->id of returned object, something like:

$id = $this->create($data)->id; 

Answer 2

The create() method returns the model.

$user = User::create([     'username' => $data['username'] . ' ' . $data['username2'],     'mail' => $data['mail'],     'password' => bcrypt($data['password']), ]);  $userInfo = UserInformation::create([     'user_id' => $user->id,     'current_food' => $food,     'current_level' => $level, ]); 

Answer 3

Suppose, I have a model name Employee and I want to insert some data in this model also want to get table id. So I can achieve this easily by below code:

 $employee = new Employee();
 $employee->employeeName = 'Something';
 $employee->save();
 $employee->id;
