In Laravel, the updateOrCreate() function is a convenient method that you can use to update an existing record or create a new one if it doesn’t exist. This method is useful when you want to update a record if it exists or create a new one if it doesn’t exist, without having to check if the record already exists yourself.

Here’s an example of how to use updateOrCreate() function:

In this example, we are searching for a record with a id field of “Existing post id”. If a record with that title exists, we update its name field to “Updated post name”. If a record with that title doesn’t exist, we create a new record with the id and body fields set to “Existing post id” and “Updated post name”, respectively.
