Usage with models

[rrrrando]

Hey!

I'm trying to understand how to use this package with models. Let's say i have a PostData object with relationships like this:

$postData = PostData {
  +title: "Post title",
  +content: 'Post Content',
  +user: UserData {
    name: 'User name',
    email: 'User email'
  }
}

In the db it would be to tables connected with a foreign key.

If i now wanted to update the title and save it to the database, how would i do that? How to convert the DTO back to a model for updating?

@rrrrando you can do something like From a request :

call or bind the model and then insert what you want from the object

class SongController{
    ...
    
    public function update(
        Song $model, // the model
        SongData $songData //the  object
    ){
        $model->update(['title' => $songData->title]);
        
        return 
    }
}

for more information, you can see how to update a model and the difference between 'update' to 'save' method

Thanks! I kinda thought that might be the way. I was under the impression that whenever i need to modify some data i need to convert it to a dto, but thats not the case.
