From Laravel documentation:
This is the current behaviour for other instances of
firstOrCreate
, except for theBelongsToMany
relationship. See below:Being consistent with the rest of the codebase for
firstOrCreate
/firstOrNew
, I went with a union of the attributes and values when creating a model instead of using array_merge (despite the documentation saying otherwise).
