Laravel-excel: WithBatchInserts eloquent events not firing

Description

Hello, when i don't use WithBatchInserts concern, the Eloquent events of the imported model fire normally. But when i use WithBatchInserts it doesn't.
Is this intended? Any workaround?

Hey @pepinows batch inserts doesn't fire eloquent events, because we use Eloquent's ->insert() behind the scenes which doesn't emit it. You should handle all data mutations in the model() method.

Thanks for the reply! Is there any other way(non-manual) to validate the upload file entirely before throwing an exception without using WithBatchInserts?

[patrickbrouwers]

No, that would defeat the purpose of the batch inserts / chunk reading as we then have to load the entire file into memory (performance).
