How to use Ardent to hydrate form entry and perform update? about ardent HOT 6 CLOSED

Why don't you just do:

$example = Example::find(1);
$example->fill(Input::all());

Cool, that seems like a decent solution thanks. So that kind of confirms that you can't do the hydration on update only on creation?

(Not that's it's much harder to do what you've put but would like to understand)

Thanks for the feedback.

Right. Not to be a stick in the mud, I love Ardent, but I think auto hydration is kind of bad practice to begin with. I would just do something like..

$user = new User;
$user->fill(Input::all());

Not that much extra code and it's much easier to understand what's happening, no magic behind the scenes you have to work out.

Cool, thanks for the advice.

@richlove1: Ardent descends directly from Eloquent. You can use all Eloquent methods and properties.
