Switching the registered user group in a User model based on boolean input

by mohsin, last modified on January 5th, 2021

Given a registered flag that may arrive from an API or any other source, this block can be used to switch the registered flag. Directly calling add or remove causes exceptions so it's essential to check like this:

$registered = Input::get('is_registered');
$registeredGroup = \RainLab\User\Models\UserGroup::whereName('registered')->first();
if ($registered) {
    if (!$user->groups()->whereName('registered')->exists()) {
        $user->groups()->add($registeredGroup);
        $user->save();
    }
} else {
    if ($user->groups()->whereName('registered')->exists()) {
        $user->groups()->remove($registeredGroup);
        $user->save();
    }
}

You can force it without checking:

if ($registered)
{
    $this->user->groups()->syncWithoutDetaching([$registeredGroup->id]);
}
else
{
    $this->user->groups()->detach([$registeredGroup->id]);
}
$this->user->save();
