Laravel Eloquent Model::find doesn't work

Question

This don't work:

$object = Model::find($id);

This works:

$object = Model::where('id', '=', $id)->first();

It doesn't make sense. Am I missing something? I'm using Laravel 5.2.36.

Let us know when you figure it out, Model::find() does internally exactly what the working code does — jedrzej.kurylo, Jun 09 '16 at 13:24
@jedrzej.kurylo no, Model::find() searches the primary key field, no necessarily the id field. — tanerkay, Jun 09 '16 at 13:42
There is no error, Model::find($id) returns null. Is not a namespace issue. Using \Namespace\Model::find($id) I got the same behavior. Yes, id is the primary key. — Maximiliano Nunes Catarino, Jun 09 '16 at 17:02

I'm sorry folks. I'm using soft deletes and the record was deleted. The find method do not returns deleted entities, the QueryBuilder (where) does. – Maximiliano Nunes Catarino Jun 24 '16 at 15:32

I had the same problem. I sorted out it, using the function intval() to transform $id to an integer value:

$id = intval($id);
$object = Model::find($id);

public $primaryKey  = 'id';

make it a primary key in your model file or you can use

Model::firstOrNew(['id' => $id]);

but here id should be a fillable property in the model. for example

protected $fillable = ['id'];
