[FEATURE] Model Class: updateWhere()

[timothymarois]

I noticed we have a deleteWhere() on the model class. However the only way you can do an update() is by primary key, so it only makes sense to have an updater for batch changes.

updateWhere(array, array)

If i'm mistaken let me know, but as for the docs and the source code, doesn't appear to be a batch update method. I also know the builder includes the ->where()->update() however, that's not accessible from model, or at least not in the documentation. Thoughts?

And yeah you could use the save() method to accomplish most, but there is occasions where a simple updateWhere() could come in handy for quick updates across the table.

You can use any Query Builder functionality through model, interspersed with fluent model function calls, too. See these docs.

I can't link directly there, but the Query Builder does have updateBatch, just like in previous versions. Is that what you mean?

Yeah was having a difficult time getting the same result with builder through the model, though I didn't experiment too much, was in rush mode and quickly went onto another solution to accomplish it. But seeing the delete function, figured there should be a similar one with update. but anyways, we can close this for now. Thanks!
