Disable Event Dispatches when Creating Eloquent Models

There's a really easy way to do this using createQuietly.

Here's an example of how it works on a standard model:

$user = User::createQuietly(['name' => 'Mabel', 'email' => 'mabel@codecourse.com']);

Using createQuietly won't trigger any events, meaning anything you've defined in a model observer won't get triggered.

Since this is more useful for testing, here's an example of coupling this with a factory.

User::factory(3)->createQuietly();

The above example creates 3 users without dispatching events.

There are other variations on the Quietly method extension, too, like createOneQuietly and createManyQuietly.
