laravel eloquent create方法无法覆盖

Question

I need to maintain store serial number of topics in db user wise unique, so instead of calculating each time I want to override eloquent create method as

in App\Topic.php

public static function create(array $data)
{
    //some logic here  
    parent::create($data);
} 

But whenever I run call Topic::create($data) method, it fails silently and 500 error comes on the browser no laravel exception thrown, when I run on tinker, it automatically get an exit , I was unable to find a log where I need to look for this issue

What can be a problem here?

Answer 1

You should do this in the model event instead of overwriting the methods. It does exactly what you need.

public static function boot()
{
    parent::boot();

    static::creating(function($model) {
        // make some changes or log or whatever you want
    });
}

You can even move the logic to a custom observer class. Read more about it here https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/eloquent#events
