I'm trying to replicate() eloquent data in laravel, and also return the replicated data instead of bool() data.
When I do this
$transaction = Transaction::find(1);
$transaction2 = $transaction->replicate()->fill(['status' => 1]);
$transaction2 = $transaction2->save();
return $transaction2;
This code returns true. How can I return the replicated data?
The result is happening because you are setting the $transaction2 to the save() result just before your return here $transaction2 = $transaction2->save();.
This will override $transaction2 with the value of ->save(), which returns true or false whether it successfully saved or not.
Change your code like this, and it will do as you intend.
$transaction = Transaction::find(1);
$transaction2 = $transaction->replicate()->fill(['status' => 1]);
$transaction2->save();
return $transaction2;
