Laravel Mass Update is a fantastic package that helps to update multiple Laravel Model records, each with its own set of values, sending a single query to your database!

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require iksaku/laravel-mass-update

Usage

In your model class, add the Iksaku\Laravel\MassUpdate\MassUpdatable trait:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Iksaku\Laravel\MassUpdate\MassUpdatable;

class User extends Model
{
    use MassUpdatable;
    
    // ...
}

And that’s all! Your model is now ready to update multiple records with varying values in a single query!

Let’s take a look at some possible use cases for this new query:

Simple use case #1:

Update the values of multiple records.

Imagine that you have the following users table:

id	name	username
1	Jorge Gonzales	iksaku
2	Gladys Martines	gm_mtz

But, we want to update both records since those users have told us that their legal last name was misspelled:

• González is written with an accent on the letter a, and only uses z, never an s.
• Martínez is written with an accent on the letter i, and the last letter should be a z, not an s

Well, we can mass-update those specific records:

User::massUpdate(
    values: [
        ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Jorge González'],
        ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Gladys Martínez'],
    ]
);

Now, both records will be updated with their corresponding values in a single query, resulting in:

id	name	username
1	Jorge González	iksaku
2	Gladys Martínez	gm_mtz

By default, the massUpdate query will grab your model’s primary key name and apply it as part of the query to not affect other records.

Simple use case #2:

Updating multiple Eloquent Models

If you need to update the values in some Model classes and want to automatically mass update those changes, then this is for you!

The existing masUpdate query is capable of identifying the dirty attributes of Eloquent model classes and compile them properly. You don’t need to manually convert the models into an array, you just pass the list of models you want to update, and it takes care of the rest.

Let's recreate the previous example, but using Eloquent models...

// Say we already pulled our user models previously... Something like this:
$jorge = User::where('name', 'Jorge Gonzales')->first();
$gladys = User::where('name', 'Gladys Martines')->first();

// And let's say we already made changes to those models... Like this:
$jorge->name = 'Jorge González';
$gladys->name = 'Gladys Martínez';

// And now, let's update both models in a single query:
User::massUpdate(
    values: [$jorge, $gladys]
);
