Make a Copy of the Model

If you have two very similar Models (like shipping address and billing address) and you need to make a copy of one to another, you can use replicate() method and change some properties after that.

Example from the official docs:

$shipping = Address::create([
'type' => 'shipping',
'line_1' => '123 Example Street',
'city' => 'Victorville',
'state' => 'CA',
'postcode' => '90001',
]);
 
$billing = $shipping->replicate()->fill([
'type' => 'billing'
]);
 
$billing->save();
