Why might the Elequent ORM relationship feel empty? - laravel

Question

Here is my method available in the controller
public function getProductListAll(){
$products = Product::with('property')
->whereStatus(1)
->where('show', 1)
->where('code', '!=', 1)
->where('is_roketable',true)
->with(['prices_roket' => function ($q) {
return $q->whereNull('user_id');
}]);
$products = $products->whereIn('product_type', ['education', 'consultancy', 'startup']);
$data['products'] = $products->select([
'id', 'name', 'image', 'commission', 'price',
'buy_now', 'type', 'short_desc', 'pricing_desc',
'offer_status', 'period_status', 'period', 'period_frequency',
'endpoint', 'product_type', 'unique_id', 'discount_show_status',
'annual_payment', 'pre_register', 'privacy_status', 'privacy',
'sg_project', 'last_pre_register_date', 'product_desc',
'product_consulting', 'product_status',
])->get();
return response()->json($data);
}
and here is the relationship in my model.
return $this->hasMany(ProductPrice::class)->select('price','created_at','user_id','offer_id')
->orderBy('price')
->where(function ($q) {
$q
->where(function ($q2) {
$q2->whereNull('offer_id');
})
->orWhere(function ($q2) {
$q2->whereNotNull('offer_id');
$q2->where('user_id', auth()->user() ? auth()->user()->id : 0);
});
});
I tried to change my relationship and rewrite it, but when I write select, I cannot access any data. When I remove select, they all come. I can't select at prices relationship.

You can not use ->select() inside your model relationship.
Instead what you can do to limit the selection is by adding it into ->with()
For example
$products = Product::query()
->with(['property' => function ($q) {
$q->select(['price','property.created_at','user_id','offer_id']);
}])
->where( ... )
// no need to add property 'price' inside this select
->select(['id', 'name', 'image', 'commission' ... ])
->get();
