Quick way to save or update post with one liner of eloquent code

Typically, we fetch the post with a single or set of criteria to see if it already exists, and if not, we move on to saving or updating. The snippet for saving is below.

$post = Post::where('title', request('title'))->get();
if(!$post) {
$post = Post::create([
		'title' => request('title'),
		'post_text' => request('description'),
	]);
} 

However, above code can be replaced in a new way by substituting with one liner of eloquent method using either firstOrCreate() or updateOrCreate(). Their snippets are given below one by one.

// firstOrCreate takes two parameters 
// 1. set of fields to be matched and 
// 2. additional set of fields for saving if given title is not matched with database
$post = Post::firstOrCreate( ['title'=> 'title field to be matched', 'user_id' => 'user_id value to be matched'], ['post_text'=>'first or create save', 'user_id' => 'user_id value to be saved'] );

One thing to keep in mind is that this function will not continue to create if the set of fields specified in the first parameter matches.

// updateOrCreate takes two parameters 
//1. set of fields to be matched and 
//2. additional set of fields for updating if given title is matched with database
$post = Post::updateOrCreate( ['title'=> 'title field to be matched', 'user_id' => 'user_id value to be matched'], ['post_text'=>'update or create update', 'user_id' => 'user_id value to be updated'] );

One thing to keep in mind is that this function will not update if the set of fields specified in the first parameter does not match.
