Answer 1

Resource controller method for update is update(). Eloquent method for update() is update() too, so you can do this:

public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
    Article::where('id', $id)->update($request->all());
    return redirect('/articles');
}

You also can use the same controller and Eloquent method for both crerate and update data updateOrCreate() method.

Answer 2

You can also update it as object format like this.

public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
   $article = Article::find($id);
   $article->user_id = auth()->id();
   $article->content = $request->content;
   $article->live = (boolean)$request->live;
   $article->post_on = $request->post_on;
   $article->save();
}`
