Eloquently Save Multiple, Related Models

Setting relationship this way is not very clear: public function model(Request $request)
{
return $request->user()->posts();
}

i have this scenario and i would want to save the data in the third step. Basically for me i have 3 steps Claim option, personal details and payment steps.

$claim = new Claim();
$claim->id = $request->claim_id;
$claim->name = $request->name;
$claim->sponsor_letter = $letter;
$claim->exitdate = $request->exitdate;

$nextkin = new NextKin();
$nextkin->kin = $request->kin;
$nextkin->kin_id = $request->kin_id;
$nextkin->kin_email = $request->kin_email;

$payment = new Payment();
$payment->bank = $request->bank;
$payment->branch = $request->branch;
$payment->accountname = $request->accountname;

$claim->save();
$claim->nextkin()->save($nextkin);
$claim->payment()->save($payment);

So i have three steps in which i collect data for the 3 models Claim, NextKin and Payment. The claim_id references the other two tables. How do we save this data. How do to go to the previous step without saving. I believe the last step is to display result.

Hi @mcatieno, you can reference Save data on another step part to save your all models data.

This provide a example for last step to saving:

<?php

class LastStep extends Step
{
    public function model(Request $request)
    {
        //
    }

    public function saveData(Request $request, $data = null, $model = null)
    {
        $data = $this->getStepsData();
        dd($data); // check current your all form data
        // save data into models
    }
}

This is an example with your provide code:

<?php

class ClaimStep extends Step
{
    public function model(Request $request)
    {
        // don't write any code
    }

    public function saveData(Request $request, $data = null, $model = null)
    {
        // don't write any code
    }
}
<?php

class NextKinStep extends Step
{
    public function model(Request $request)
    {
        // don't write any code
    }

    public function saveData(Request $request, $data = null, $model = null)
    {
        // don't write any code
    }
}
<?php

class PaymentStep extends Step
{
    public function model(Request $request)
    {
        // don't write any code
    }

    public function saveData(Request $request, $data = null, $model = null)
    {
        $data = $this->getStepsData();

        $claim = new Claim();
        $claim->id = $data['claim_id'];
        $claim->name = $data['name'];
        $claim->sponsor_letter = $letter;
        $claim->exitdate = $data['exitdate'];

        $nextkin = new NextKin();
        $nextkin->kin = $data['kin'];
        $nextkin->kin_id = $data['kin_id'];
        $nextkin->kin_email = $data['kin_email'];

        $payment = new Payment();
        $payment->bank = $data['bank'];
        $payment->branch = $data['branch'];
        $payment->accountname = $data['accountname'];

        $claim->save();
        $claim->nextkin()->save($nextkin);
        $claim->payment()->save($payment);
    }
}

If you want to save uploaded file you could try this:

<?php

class PaymentStep extends Step
{
    public function saveData(Request $request, $data = null, $model = null)
    {
        $data = $this->getStepsData();

        $claim = new Claim();

        $sponsor_letter_filename = time().'_'.$data['sponsor_letter']->getClientOriginalName();

        $claim->sponsor_letter = $data['sponsor_letter']->storeAs('documents', $sponsor_letter_filename, [
            'disk' => 'public',
        ]);
        ...
    }
}

Because the file is not uploaded on this request (this example is upload to ClaimStep), you can't use $request->file('...') to get the file, instead of $data['sponsor_letter'].

The $this->getStepsData() will get the cached user input/uploaded data and clean when the wizard ended.

If you want to save the original name of the uploaded image filename, you can change it to this:

First, into your WizardController add a wizardStepSaved(), it will be triggered on step saved or cached, at this time you can save the original filename of the uploaded image into the session:

<?php

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
use Ycs77\LaravelWizard\Step;
use Ycs77\LaravelWizard\Wizardable;

class UserWizardController extends Controller
{
    use Wizardable;

    ...

    protected function wizardStepSaved(Request $request, Step $step)
    {
        if ($step instanceof ClaimStep && $request->hasFile('sponsor_letter')) {
            $originalFilename = $request->file('sponsor_letter')->getClientOriginalName();
            Session::put('sponsor_letter_original_filename', $originalFilename);
        }
    }
}

Then pull the filename into the session on the last step:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;

class PaymentStep extends Step
{
    public function saveData(Request $request, $data = null, $model = null)
    {
        $data = $this->getStepsData();

        $originalFilename = Session::pull('sponsor_letter_original_filename');
        $data['sponsor_letter'] = $data['sponsor_letter']->storeAs('documents', time().'_'.$originalFilename, [
            'disk' => 'public',
        ]);

        dd($data);
    }
}
