This feature is for now only available for PostgreSQL (in your .env file DB_CONNECTION must be set to pgsql). Upsert, based on Wiktionary, is an operation that inserts rows into a database table if they do not already exist, or updates them if they do. The Advanced upsert is basically the same as Laravel's upsert function, but it has one key advantage. It can fetch foreign key (id) when performing an upsert.

$ composer require viktorruskai/advanced-upsert-for-laravel

1. Add use HasUpsert; in your Laravel Eloquent model (make sure you have correct namespace)
2. You can use it in two ways:
   • Normal upsert

     ItemAction::upsert(
         [
             [
                 'itemId' => 1,
                 'actionName' => 'Purchased',
                 'actionDescription' => 'Test description',
                 'actionValue' => 12,
             ],
             // ... (more items) 
         ], 
         ['itemId', 'actionName'], // Conflict (either columns or key name)
         ['actionDescription'] // Update column 
     );

     Generated SQL:

     INSERT INTO
         "itemActions" ("itemId", "actionName", "actionDescription", "actionValue", "updatedAt", "createdAt")
     VALUES
         (1, 'Purchased', 'Test description', 12, NOW(), NOW())
         /** ... (more items) */
     ON CONFLICT ("itemId", "actionName") 
     DO UPDATE SET
         "actionDescription" = "excluded"."actionDescription"

   • Upsert with selecting foreign ID from different table

     ItemActionAdditional::upsert(
         [
             [
                 'where' => [
                     'itemId' => 1,
                     'actionName' => 'Test',
                 ],
                 'upsert' => [
                     'itemActionId' => '*' // Must be set `*`, this ID will be automatically added from `$selectModelClassName` by conditions from `where` param  
                     'specialData' => '123456',
                     'description' => 'Hello',
                 ], 
             ],
             // ... (more items)
         ], 
         ['itemActionId', 'specialData'], // Must be set as unique key (name of columns must be presented or name of the key) 
         ['description'], // Columns that will be updated
         ItemAction::class, // Eloquent model, in this case must be set
         [...] // Any columns that should be returned (Not required) 
     );

     Generated SQL:

     INSERT INTO
         "itemActionAdditional" ("itemActionId", "specialData", "description", "updatedAt", "createdAt")
         (
             SELECT
                 id,
                 '123456',
                 'Hello',
                 NOW(),
                 NOW()
             FROM
                 "itemActions"
             WHERE
                 "itemId" = 1 AND 
                 "actionName" = 'Test'
         )
         /** ... (more items) */ 
     ON CONFLICT ("itemActionId", "specialData")
     DO UPDATE SET
         "description" = "excluded"."description"
