What Is Eloquent ORM?
Eloquent is the built-in Object Relational Mapper provided by Laravel. It allows developers to work with database records using models and PHP syntax.
Creating a Model
Laravel models represent database tables. A model can contain relationships, casts, accessors, scopes and other application logic.
Fetching Records
Developers can use methods such as all, find, where, first and get to retrieve records from the database.
Relationships
Eloquent supports relationships such as one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many and polymorphic relationships. These relationships make it easier to work with connected data.
Query Scopes
Local scopes allow developers to create reusable query conditions. This can make controllers cleaner and database queries easier to maintain.
Conclusion
Eloquent makes database operations much easier and provides an expressive way to work with application data.
