As the documentation illustrate you have two choices :
- Automatic transaction with
Closure
:
You may use the transaction
method on the DB
facade to run a set of
operations within a database transaction. If an exception is thrown
within the transaction Closure
, the transaction will automatically be
rolled back. If the Closure
executes successfully, the transaction
will automatically be committed. You don't need to worry about
manually rolling back or committing while using the transaction
method
DB::transaction(function () {
// Interacting with the database
DB::insert(...);
DB::insert(...);
DB::insert(...);
});
- Manually Using Transactions :
If you would like to begin a transaction manually and have complete control over rollbacks and commits, you may use the beginTransaction method on the DB facade:
DB::beginTransaction();
You can rollback the transaction via the rollBack method:
DB::rollBack();
Lastly, you can commit a transaction via the commit method:
DB::commit();
The manually use of the transactions is linked to the try catch
block like this :
DB::beginTransaction();
try {
// Interacting with the database
DB::insert(...);
DB::insert(...);
DB::insert(...);
DB::commit(); // Commiting ==> There is no problem whatsoever
} catch (\Exception $e) {
DB::rollback(); // rollbacking ==> Something went wrong
}
For testing the transaction you can run your example without throwing any exception ==> expected result : all fine the Plant will be created.
And if you throw an exception the transaction will be rollbacked and the Plant will not be created in the database :
public function store(){
$plant = new Plant;
DB::transaction(function()
{
Plant::create(request(['name','plant_code','place']));
throw new ModelNotFoundException("Just for testing :)");
});
}
Add use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\ModelNotFoundException;
at the top of the controller ;)
