I’m building a Laravel API, and I need to implement a logic where:
First, I check if a particular record exists in the database table 1.If the record exists, I want to call an external update API with the request data. 2.If no record exists, I want to create a new record using the store method.
note:: I want to call the api for update.
I did get the wanted ouptput with calling the update method in the store controller which works fine for example something like this:
$videoAlbum=VideoAlbum::first();
if ($videoAlbum) {
$updateRequest = new UpdateVideoAlbumAPIRequest();
$updateRequest->merge($request->all());
return $this->update($videoAlbum->album_id, $updateRequest); // Reverse the parameter order
}
now i want a different approach like instead of method call i want to hit the api insted like usally do in the update request in postman
