Laravel insertGetId insert multiple rows and get inserted primary keys - mysql

Question

The problem I am facing in the api is as follows: it is not accepting array of multiple arrays:
...
"message": "Array to string conversion",
"exception": "ErrorException",
"file": "/home/deepan8/pich.abc.com/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/Str.php",
"line": 762,
"trace": [
{
"file": "/home/deepan8/pich.abc.com/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Bootstrap/HandleExceptions.php",
"line": 257,
"function": "handleError",
"class": "Illuminate\\Foundation\\Bootstrap\\HandleExceptions",
"type": "->"
},]
My code snippet looks like this:
$voucherArray = [];
foreach($users as $user) {
$voucherArray[] = ['voucher_code' => rand(10000, 999999),
'voucher_price' => $request->price,
'expiry_date' => $request->date,
'status' => "Active",
];
}
$ids = DB::table('pich_voucher')->insertGetId($voucherArray);
foreach($ids as $id) {
}
I need to add all the rows at once instead of adding them one by one to improve performance.
Does Laravel have some function which can provide this facility or any SQL Query where we can add multiple rows and extract their ids at the same time?

Answer 1

You can insert multiple rows using insertGetId() method. If you want really want to insert multiple rows and get the IDs, just use looping.
example:
$ids = [];
foreach ($users as $user) {
$voucherArray = array(
'voucher_code' => rand(10000, 999999),
'voucher_price' => $request->price,
'expiry_date' => $request->date,
'status' => "Active"
);
$ids[] = DB::table('pich_voucher')->insertGetId($voucherArray);
}
Or another way use insert method but not get the ids. if you want to get the ids you could use like below:
$voucherArray = [];
$codes = [];
foreach ($users as $user) {
$code= rand(10000, 999999);
$codes[] = $code;
$voucherArray[] = array(
'voucher_code' => $code,
'voucher_price' => $request->price,
'expiry_date' => $request->date,
'status' => "Active"
);
}
DB::table('pich_voucher')->insert($voucherArray);
$ids = DB::table('pich_voucher')->whereIn('voucher_code', $codes)->pluck('id')->toArray();
