php - Now save() return false in Laravel 5.3 -

about 1 change of laravel 5.3,

now, have model want save.

before, doing :

$result = $model->save(); 

and know if operation successful.

now, new:

the eloquent save method returns false if model has not been changed since last time retrieved or saved.

mentioned in upgrade guide

if model has not changed, return false.

now code tell me there error, because trust true or false result of or bad operation.

so now, how can check save() successful, if didn't change data???

check if model dirty.

//                                  b $result = !$model->isdirty() || $model->save() 

• if model modified, a false, b should true. $result true
• if model not modified, a true, $result true.
• if model modified , didn't saved sucessfull, false both in a , b, $result false.

i explain: happens because eloquent db query if changed. laravel developers decided change save() response, can know if query made, or if changed.

according @patricus comment, first solution not trigger saving() , updating events, obvious reason: php many languages stop evaluating or expression when true found.

so if need events being triggered, should this:

$wasclean = $model->isclean(); // oposite of 'isdirty()' $result = $model->save() || $wasclean;
