As you can see, our existing row has been updated accordingly. Once again, we did not write a
single line of SQL. Only beautiful, eloquent PHP. You will also notice that the updated_at column
has been populated with update time automatically. Very useful!
Deleting Existing Models
Deleting Eloquent models is a simple process. First we need to get our hands on the instance of the
model that we wish to delete. For example, we could use the find() method that we discovered in
a previous sub chapter.
