I have a system where a user can edit their pets. On this page, they can also add another pet to their account.

This is what I used to edit the pet:

foreach ($request->pets as $pet) {

    $clientPet = $client->pets()->find($pet)->first();

    $clientPet->name = $pet['name'];

    $clientPet->treated_at = $pet['treatedAt'];

    $clientPet->save();



    $date = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $clientPet->treated_at);

    foreach($clientPet->reminders as $reminders) {

        $reminders->scheduled_at   = $date->addWeeks(12)->subDays(3);

        $reminders->product_id     = $pet['productId'];

        $reminders->application_id = $pet['applicationId'];

        $reminders->save();

    }

}

How would I account for creating a new pet alongside this?

Each pet also has reminders. Currently, reminders are updating in this method (previously having been created). How would I create the reminders for new pets. There are 4 reminders for each.

You can use findOrNew, it will find the existing pet or instantiate a new instance.

docs:

foreach ($request->pets as $pet)

{

    $clientPet = $client->pets()->findOrNew($pet['id']); // pass the pet id here

    $clientPet->name = $pet['name'];

    $clientPet->treated_at = $pet['treatedAt'];



    $clientPet->save();



    $date = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $clientPet->treated_at);

    foreach($clientPet->reminders as $reminders)

    {



        $reminders->scheduled_at   = $date->addWeeks(12)->subDays(3);

        $reminders->product_id     = $pet['productId'];

        $reminders->application_id = $pet['applicationId'];



        $reminders->save();

    }

}
