Laravel model observer updated & deleted events are not trigerring? - php

Question

Observer
class FileLogObserver
{
public function updated(FileLogs $fileLogs)
{
$fileChangeLogs = FileChangeLogs::firstWhere('fileId', $fileLogs->filedId);
if ( !empty($fileChangeLogs)) {
$fileChangeLogs->save([
'logDetails' => '1 file updated',
]);
}
}
}
Controller
class FileLogController extends Controller
{
public function update(Request $request,$id){
$validator = Validator::make(
$request->all(),
[
'orderId' => 'required|integer',
'fileId' => 'required|integer',
'status' => 'required|string'
]
);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return response()->json($validator->errors(), 400);
}
$data = FileLogs::find($id);
if($data){
$data->orderId=$request->orderId;
$data->fileId=$request->fileId;
$data->status=$request->status;
$data->update();
return response()->json(['status'=>'success','StatusCode'=> 200,'message'=>'Successfully Updated','data'=>$data]);
}
else{
return response()->json(['status'=>'Failed','message'=>'Update Failed'],400);
}
}
}
The created & retrieved methods are being properly triggered. However, the updated & deleted methods not triggered. Gone through many links & read that a reason can be becoz the update is not directly on the model. so, i tried like below in my controller. But update function is not working this method. I'm using Laravel-8 version. Any help is much appreciated.
$data = FileLogs::find($id);
if($data){
$data->update(['$data->orderId'=>'$request->orderId','$data->fileId'=>'$request->fileId','$data->status'=>'$request->status']);

Answer 1

you need to register those observer in App\Providers\EventServiceProvider
like
/**
* Register any events for your application.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
FileLogs::observe(FileLogObserver::class);
}
