The new Eloquent
Factory::insert()method currently instantiates and fills a model twice for every record, which I think seems inefficient. More importantly it unnecessarily casts raw attribute values back and forth to eventually insert them, which I think is an anti-pattern.One of the issues this causes has been pointed out here. This PR aims to fix this issue of double quoting of array casted JSON columns, as an alternative to #57794.
