Using composite key in Laravel

In this blog will be show you how to enable Laravel to support composite primary key (multiple column key). First of all you need to create class that override method save of class Model to support composite key. Below is the code. You can copy to your project.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use DB;

class BaseModel extends Model
{

    public function save(array $options = []) {
        if( ! is_array($this->getKeyName()))
        {
            return parent::save($options);
        }

        // Fire Event for others to hook
        if($this->fireModelEvent('saving') === false) return false;

        // Prepare query for inserting or updating
        $query = $this->newQueryWithoutScopes();

        // Perform Update
        if ($this->exists)
        {
            if (count($this->getDirty()) > 0)
            {
                // Fire Event for others to hook
                if ($this->fireModelEvent('updating') === false)
                {
                    return false;
                }

                // Touch the timestamps
                if ($this->timestamps)
                {
                    $this->updateTimestamps();
                }

                //
                // START FIX
                //


                // Convert primary key into an array if it's a single value
                $primary = (count($this->getKeyName()) > 1) ? $this->getKeyName() : [$this->getKeyName()];

                // Fetch the primary key(s) values before any changes
                $unique = array_intersect_key($this->original, array_flip($primary));

                // Fetch the primary key(s) values after any changes
                $unique = !empty($unique) ? $unique : array_intersect_key($this->getAttributes(), array_flip($primary));

                // Fetch the element of the array if the array contains only a single element
                //$unique = (count($unique) <> 1) ? $unique : reset($unique);

                // Apply SQL logic
                $query->where($unique);

                //
                // END FIX
                //

                // Update the records
                $query->update($this->getDirty());

                // Fire an event for hooking into
                $this->fireModelEvent('updated', false);
            }
        }
        // Insert
        else
        {
            // Fire an event for hooking into
            if ($this->fireModelEvent('creating') === false) return false;

            // Touch the timestamps
            if($this->timestamps)
            {
                $this->updateTimestamps();
            }

            // Retrieve the attributes
            $attributes = $this->attributes;

            if ($this->incrementing && !is_array($this->getKeyName()))
            {
                $this->insertAndSetId($query, $attributes);
            }
            else
            {
                $query->insert($attributes);
            }

            // Set exists to true in case someone tries to update it during an event
            $this->exists = true;

            // Fire an event for hooking into
            $this->fireModelEvent('created', false);
        }

        // Fires an event
        $this->fireModelEvent('saved', false);

        // Sync
        $this->original = $this->attributes;

        // Touches all relations
        if (array_get($options, 'touch', true)) $this->touchOwners();

        return true;
    }    
}

Then you must extends your model class as example below. You can define $primaryKey to multiple column fields (see line 13).

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use App\Models\BaseModel;

class MyTable extends BaseModel
{

    protected $table = 'MyTable';
    protected $primaryKey = ['MY_KEY_COLUMN_1', 'MY_KEY_COLUMN_2', 'MY_KEY_COLUMN_3'];
    
    public $incrementing = false;
    public $timestamps = false;

}


Example:

$myTable = new MyTable;
$myTable->FIELD1 = 'Feild1_Value';
$myTable->FIELD2 = 'Field2_Value';
$myTable->MY_KEY_COLUMN1 = 'Key1_Value';
$myTable->MY_KEY_COLUMN2 = 'Key2_Value';
$myTable->MY_KEY_COLUMN3 = 'Key3_Value';
$myTable->save();

Laravel 5.6.34 Released

We’ve had an exciting week in Laravel-land, with the launch of Laravel Nova on Wednesday! Tuesday’s release of Laravel 5.6.34 released quietly before Nova, bringing a few changes and a URL validation compatibility fix for PHP 7.3. First up, the whereRowValues changes to properly wrap columns: $builder = DB::table('table')->whereRowValues(['column1', 'column2'], '=', ['foo', 'bar']); dd($builder->toSql()); // expected: select * from "table" where ("column1", "column2") = (?, ?) // actual: select * from "table" where (column1, column2) = (?, ?) Next, the default mail template’s copyright phrase (i.e., “All rights reserved.”) is localizable. Here’s the implementation: @lang('All rights reserved.') The last change was updating the behavior of the EventFake to dispatch non-faked events. The previous functionality was not to execute any event listeners. Now, al...

Install Spring Boot application as a Windows services.

Download WinSW binary distribution from website  https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/releases Copy WinSW.exe into Spring Boot application folder (ex: my file is WinSW.Net4.exe) Rename your WinSW.exe to same as your jar file (for easy to remember). Create XML file name same as jar file. This file is using for configuration of Windows services.
