boot self::creating() not working with insert in laravel

Question

I want to insert multiple rows using

Model::inset($dataArray)

but it's not firing boot method.

self::creating()

Is there any solution ?

I want to insert multiple rows at once to save time but its not calling laravel observer method self::creating().

If I'm not mistaken, `insert()` does not trigger any events in the model. I believe you should use `create()` or `save()` — Techno, Jan 09 '23 at 12:11
@Techno Thanks for your reply. Is there any way to insert multiple rows at once using create() ? — Sajjad Ali, Jan 09 '23 at 12:15

Use createMany to achieve this on relationShips:

https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent-relationships#the-create-method

If you want to do this on the model directly, you can just create the function:

ExampleModel:

public static function createMany($records){
    foreach($records as $record) {
        $this->create($record);
    }
}

If you look at the create() function in the model: Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;

    /**
     * Save a new model and return the instance.
     *
     * @param  array  $attributes
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model|$this
     */
    public function create(array $attributes = [])
    {
        return tap($this->newModelInstance($attributes), function ($instance) {
            $instance->save();
        });
    }

it uses the save() function that dispatches the event "creating": https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent#events

Save() will call $this->performInsert($query)

and

performInsert does $this->fireModelEvent('creating') as well as $this->updateTimestamps()

Its for relationships – Sajjad Ali Jan 09 '23 at 12:18
@SajjadAli you can accomplish this by making your own method if its not for relationships like the above – RG Servers Jan 09 '23 at 12:28
@SajjadAli, maybe you can share which relationship you want to add it to? I think KGG can update the answer to reflect just that :) – Techno Jan 09 '23 at 12:30
this will run multiple insert queries which I want to avoid. – Sajjad Ali Jan 09 '23 at 12:32
@SajjadAli check my explanation, it does fire the event creating :) – RG Servers Jan 09 '23 at 12:45

@SajjadAli, maybe this helps explain why it is unavoidable: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent#upserts:~:text=When%20issuing%20a,a%20mass%20update. – Techno Jan 09 '23 at 12:48
