Create a node Object to add child for it

[sobhanatar]

Hi

How can I construct a node so I can make child for it using $child2 = Category::create(['name' => 'Child 2']); $child2->makeChildOf($root);

I have sent parent_id from my view to my controller and my problem is that I can't find a way to create my $secondOrThirdLevelRootToBeFatherOfMyNewChild

In other words I want to know how can I get a node object from its id?

Thanks

As it seems you'd stopped answering to your question and for those that might gut stock in my situation can do the following to get a node object:

$ancestor = YourModelName::where('id', '=', $request->get('parent_id'))->first();

and after that create a child for this object using the way showed in documentation:

$ancestor->children()->create([...]);
