How can I do an update replacing all fields

[jonascript]

Hello,
It seems there's no way using the query builder to do an update replacing all the fields so new object completely replaces the old document. It will just update the properties contained in the array passed to the update function leaving properties in the document that aren't in the array intact.

DB::connection('mongodb')
->collection($this->collectionName)
->where('_id', $id)
->update($insertArr)

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.collection.update/#example-update-replace-fields

Is there another way to do this using this lib or is this something that can be added in?

The update method uses the set operator, so it's not possible at this moment. You can always perform raw operations: https://github.com/jenssegers/Laravel-MongoDB#raw-expressions
