Chapter 4. Eloquent ORM

In the previous chapter, we touched on Eloquent, the object-relational mapper (ORM) that ships with Laravel. Eloquent acts as the model layer (the M in MVC) in our applications. As it is such a big part of most applications built in Laravel, we are going to take a look at Eloquent in more detail.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Reading and writing data to our database
  • Relationships between models
  • Query scopes
  • Model events and observers
  • Collections
