Laravel eloquent insert into select

Question

I am trying laravel eloquent for sql insert into select query which is as follows-

$refId='111';
$newStatus='S2';

INSERT INTO parcel(items, status) SELECT items,'$newStatus' FROM parcel where ref_id ='$refId' LIMIT 1;

This query does insertion into parcel table of my database with the newStatus variable where selecting certain items needed from the db. I need to do this using laravel eloquent but can not find any reliable method.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

// First Create Model Parcel and FInd Your required row with id

// Below code use for selecting data from database. 

$parcel = Parcel::query()->where('database column name', '=', $parcel_id)->first()

// If you want to store data in table use below code.

$parcel = new Parcel();
$percel->items = $item;
$percel->status = $newStatus;
$percel->save();

You can use insertUsing (since Laravel 5.17). Your code will be set in only one instruction:

DB::table('parcel')->insertUsing(['items', 'status'],
function ($request) use ($newStatus, $refId) {
    $request->select('items', DB::raw("$newStatus"))
        ->from('parcel')
        ->where('ref_id', '=', $refId)
        ->first()
        ->toSql();
});
