How to make cloning of Models in Laravel
Example how to clone of Models in Laravel:
If find yourself needing to clone a row, maybe change a few attributes but you need an efficient way to keep things DRY. Laravel provides a sort of 'hidden' method to allow you to do this functionality. Though it is completely undocumented, you need to search through the API to find it.
Using $model->replicate() you can easily clone a record.
$book = Book::find(5);
$cloneBook = $book->replicate();
Also you can add custom attributes to this new model like this:
$cloneBook->nbre += 1;
$cloneBook->save();
The above would find a book that has an ID of 5, then clones it.
