Laravel 5 Duplicate/Clone an DB Table. Products Cloning

Question

I want clone Products from my Database with an Button click.

Example:

In my Product List i have create an Item successful. I want now add an second similar Item but dont want create an new Product and fill out the fields again (Takes time). I want now add an Button in my Laravel 5 Store where Duplicate or Clone the item where i have created before successful.

Just an new Database table with an other Product ID but all other the same info.

Whats the best way to do this?

Many Thanks

Does the Product have relationships? If so, do they need to be maintained? — Maarten Peels, Dec 19 '17 at 11:39

With Eloquent you have a function replicate(), this will "clone" the object including relations.

Sample:

$product = Product::find(1);
$newProduct = $product->replicate();
$newProduct->save();
