Laravel updating eloquent event: getting the data

Question

I have been reading about eloquent events. There is an event for every interaction with a Model: creating, created, updating, updated, saving, saved, deleting, deleted, restoring, restored.

I want to know the data from a Model when it has been updated and the data it has before. Is it possible? Because the documentation havent so much info about how to use these events.

Answer 1

You're looking for getDirty() and getOriginal() methods.

User::updating(function ($user) {
    $dirty = $user->getDirty();
    $original = $user->getOriginal();
});
