laravel passing value from controller to model - php

Question

I have a base controller that gets certain default properties based on the domain name for every request. These include app_id and language_id.
What would be the recommended way to get these values set in my models, so that for example if I tried to create a new Post model it would have the app_id and language_id set by the values defined in my base_controller.
Kind regards to any response.

Answer 1

You can use sessions to store your app_id and language_id, and get it from session whenever you need it.
Check How to use sessions in Laravel from here

Answer 2

You can use __consruct method as suggested in comment.
Here is another alternative:-
YourController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\YourModel;
class YourController extends Controller
{
public function callModelStaticMethod()
{
$data = ['appId'=>4, 'languageId'=>5];
YourModel::passDataToModelMethod($data);
}
}
YourModel.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class YourModel extends Model
{
public static function passDataToModelMethod($data)
{
var_dump($data);
// Write your business logic here.
// $newObj = new self;
// $newObj->app_id = $data['app_id'];
// $newObj->language_id = $data['languageId'];
// $newObj->save();
}
}

#ravi...just bit correction to your code. you can't call directly your method from model.
YourModel::passDataToModelMethod($data);
above won't work, you need to do as follows
$insertData=new YourModel();
$insertData->passDataToModelMethod($data);
