Laravel update not returning data

My Laravel update operation returns true for dd($data). But I want it to return the updated data. How can I change this to get that output? There is one condition I have that the update should be called directly on the model. Any suggestions?

$data = FileLogs::find($id)->update([
            'orderId' => $request->orderId, 
            'fileId' => $request->fileId, 
            'status' => $request->status
]);

Try this

 $data = tap(FileLogs::find($id))
    ->update(['orderId' => $request->orderId, 'fileId' => $request->fileId, 'status' => $request->status])
    ->first();
 dd($data);

First, update the data then fetch it again

$data=FileLogs::find($id)->update(['orderId'=>$request->orderId,'fileId'=>$request->fileId,'status'=>$request->status]);

$updated_data=FileLogs::find($id);

dd($updated_data);

First find the data and then you can update it and get it like this

$data = FileLogs::find($id);

Now update like this

$data->update(['orderId'=>$request->orderId,'fileId'=>$request->fileId,'status'=>$request->status]);

Now you can do whatever with the data

dd($data);

That's not how it works. You can't expect this query will return you an object:

$data = FileLogs::find($id)->update([
        'orderId' => $request->orderId, 
        'fileId' => $request->fileId, 
        'status' => $request->status
]);

If you want to use Query Builder only as you mentioned in your question, you'll need to get an object manually:

$data = FileLogs::where('id', $id)->first();

With Eloquent you can use the updateOrCreate():

$data = FileLogs::where('id', $id)->updateOrCreate([
        'orderId' => $request->orderId, 
        'fileId' => $request->fileId, 
        'status' => $request->status
]);

This will return an object. update() will return boolean, so you can't use it here.
