To create a new record in the database, simply create a new model instance, set attributes on the model, then call the save method:

  $flight = new Flight;
  $flight->name = $request->name;
  $flight->save();

he save method may also be used to update models that already exist in the database. To update a model, you should retrieve it, set any attributes you wish to update, and then call the save method. Again, the updated_at timestamp will automatically be updated, so there is no need to manually set its value:

  $flight = App\Flight::find(1);
  $flight->name = 'New Flight Name';
  $flight->save();
