Check if altered value changed key

Ever wanted to know if the changes you've made to a model have altered the value for a key? No problem, simply reach for originalIsEquivalent.

$user = User::first(); // ['name' => "John']
 
$user->name = 'John';
 
$user->originalIsEquivalent('name'); // true
 
$user->name = 'David'; // Set directly
$user->fill(['name' => 'David']); // Or set via fill
 
$user->originalIsEquivalent('name'); // false
