Update password but not always?

Question

Laravel

There is a moment in the code when you need to update the user, but update the password only when it is entered.

$data = [..];
if ($request->password){
    $data['password'] = bcrypt($request->password);
}
$user->update($data);

maybe there are better ideas?

Answer 1

You use FormRequest and after:
And the password of a stall itself will encrypt. Or if not, then you make a mutator in the model.

Answer 2

there is, yes.
