After and before hooks ? about l5-repository HOT 4 OPEN

What about the associate method ?

Example :
I update or create a random model. I want to associate a random relation to this model.

Because there is no before hook, I would do this :

// Update the model    
$model = $modelRepository->update(
    $attributes,
    $modelId
);

// Associate a model
$model->relation()->associate($relation);

// And then again save
$model->save();

This will make two queries, when we can make one. (like for issue #75 )

EDIT : to be clear, we could associate the model in a beforeUpdate() method and avoid the second query.

I've been very busy in recent months with my work projects, which eventually pulling away of my personal projects, so it could not provide the necessary support to you, I am more relaxed now and I'm checking all the issues in order to work on fixes and new implementations, apologize to everyone.

How about passing also the object in the state before the update to RepositoryEntityUpdated event ?
Like on the delete event.
Would help a lot with testing since the native model events are not triggered when running tests.
