Add two queries at store method in controller - mysql

Question

I have this migration table for OFFERS:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('offers', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('article_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('price');
$table->string('comment');
$table->timestamps();
$table->string('key');
$table->string('title');
$table->timestamp('start');
$table->foreign('user_id')
->references('id')
->on('users')
->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreign('article_id')
->references('id')
->on('articles')
->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
Also this at model I have:
class Offer extends Model
{
//
protected $fillable = [
'price',
'comment',
'article_id',
'key',
'start'
];
protected $dates = [
'start'
];
public function setStartAttribute($date){
$this->attributes['start']= Carbon::createFromFormat('m/d/Y h:i a', $date);
}
public function getStartAttribute($date){
return (new Carbon($date))->toRfc2822String();
}
public function user(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
public function article(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Article');
}
}
Now at controller I have just store function:
public function store(Requests\OfferRequest $request)
{
$offer = new Offer($request->all());
Auth::user()->offer()->save($offer);
Alert::success('Offer is succesfully added!', 'Good job!')->persistent("Close");
return Redirect::back();
}
Now I also have the same model MAXOFFER. The same is migartion and model.
What I want to do is to add at OffersController store method a query that will chech does start excist in maxoffers table and if not then to add new row with data from request, but if excist row with same start value then to check price and if price is higher than current to update that row...
Please help me to rite that query inside store function at offercontroller...

Answer 1

The following query is created by guessing you have a relation maxoffer in Maxoffer model.
$maxoffer = Auth::user()->maxoffer()
->where('address_id', $request->input('address_id'))
->where('start', $request->input('start'))->first();
if($maxoffer==null)
{
Ath::user()->maxoffer()->create($request->all());
}
else
{
if($maxoffer->price < $request->input('price'))
{
$newOffer = Auth::user()->maxoffer()
->where('address_id', $request->input('address_id'))
->where('start', $request->input('start'))
->update(['price'=>$request->input('price')]);
}
}
