I have a model User with fileds like - colorhair_id, nationality_id, etc. Of course I have a relationship to other model. Problem is that I want to return nationality from User i must do that:
User::find(1)->colorhair->name
In next time I need to use
User::find(1)->nationality->name
It works but it's not look professional and it's dirty. How can I change query or something else to return object with repleace field like nationality_id to nationality with name of that. Any idea?
You can use Laravel Mutators. Put below two functions into the User model
public function getHairColorNameAttribute(){
return $this->colorhair->name
}
public function getNationalityNameAttribute(){
return $this->nationality->name
}
Then when you simply access it.
User::find(1)->hair_color_name;
The next time
User::find(1)->nationality_name;
If you want to get these values by default use $append in the model. Put the following line to the top of the User model
protected $appends = ['hair_color_name','nationality_name'];
Note: In laravel 9 mutators little bit different from the above method.
Bonus Point :
if you access values in the same scopes don't use find() method in each statement.
$user = User::find(1);
then
$user->hair_color_name;
$user->nationality_name;

I'm trying to create a function in our Laravel 5.8 app that would add multiple records to a pivot table. At present we have the following setup;
Users
Training Courses
Users Training Courses (pivot table for the above relationships, with a few extra fields)
I want to be able to show all users in the database, then check their name, pick a training course and hit "Add" and it'll create a record in the pivot table for each user that was selected.
I can't figure out where to start with this - it seems like I need to have a "for each user selected, run the store function" loop in the controller, but I have no idea where to start.
I wasn't sure if there was an easy way to do this in eloquent or not. Is there a simple way to do this?
Eloquent does this automatically if you set up the relationships correctly and you don't have to worry about pivot tables.
class Users
{
public function trainingCourses()
{
return $this->hasMany(TrainingCourses::class);
}
}
class TrainingCourses
{
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
}
Then you can use the save() method to create the relationship. But I find it better to wrap this function inside a helper method that you can use throughout your code:
class Users
{
...
public function assignTrainingCourse(TrainingCourse $trainingCourse)
{
return $this->trainingCourses()->save($trainingCourse);
}
}
In your code, you could then do something as simple as this:
$user = User::find(1);
$trainingCourse = TrainingCourse::find(1);
$user->assignTrainingCourse($trainingCourse);
Building on this, suppose you have the following route to assign a training course, where it expects a trainingcourse_id in the request:
Route::post('/users/{user}/trainingcourses', 'UserTrainingCoursesController#store');
Thanks to route model binding, Laravel can inference the parent model (user) from the URL, and your controller might look like this:
// UserTrainingCoursesController.php
public function store(User $user)
{
$trainingCourse = TrainingCourse::find(request()->input('trainingcourse_id'));
$user->assignTrainingCourse($trainingCourse);
return back();
}
Of course, you'll want to put some validation in here, but this should get you started.
I am trying to query data from my database and pass the results to a view called events, the problem I have is that one of my queries will always return the same result because in the where condition the $events_id is the same always. Is there a better way to do the querying? A better logic?
This code is from my controller called EventController:
public function index()
{
$firm_id = DB::table('firms')->where('user_id', auth()->id())->value('id');
$events_id = DB::table('events')->where('firm_id', $firm_id)->value('id');
$events = DB::table('events')->where('firm_id', $firm_id)->get()->toArray();
$actual_events = DB::table('actual_events')->where('event_id', $events_id)->get()->toArray();
return view('events',['events' => $events,'actual_events' => $actual_events]);
}
Since the $events_id is the same every time, the $actual_events will only contain the first result.
The image I have uploaded shows the problem, my table's first three columns are fine. Starting from the fourth they contain repeated values:
As I guess, you need something like this:
$event_ids = DB::table('events')->where('firm_id', $firm_id)->pluck('id');
$actual_events = DB::table('actual_events')->whereIn('event_id', $event_ids)->get()->toArray();
or write about your problem in details and I will try to help you.
you just said that your tables have relation together.
in this case it's better you using the eloquent for that,
first you should type the relations in model of each table like this:
class User extends Authenticatable{
public function cities()
{
return $this->hasmany('App\City'); //you should type your relation
}
}
for relations you can use this link: laravel relationships
after that when you compact the $user variable to your view, you can use this syntax for getting the city value relation to this user: $user->cities;.
I have 3 databases:
Routes:
id
name
Rates:
Id
Route_id
Car_id
Cars:
id
name
My model for routes
public function rates()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Rate', 'route_id');
}
My model for rates
public function car() {
return $this->belongsTo('App\Car','car_id');
}
Now I need to access the car relation, but when I do
return $this->route->with('from','to','rates.car')->paginate(74);
I get null for the car relation
{"id":1,"from_id":1,"to_id":2,"distance":400,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null,"from":{"id":1,"name":"\u0410\u043a\u043a\u043e","created_at":null,"updated_at":null,"lat":32.93310000000000314912540488876402378082275390625,"long":35.0827000000000026602720026858150959014892578125},"to":{"id":2,"name":"\u0410\u0440\u0430\u0434","created_at":null,"updated_at":null,"lat":31.261399999999998300381776061840355396270751953125,"long":35.21490000000000009094947017729282379150390625},"rates":[{"id":1,"route_id":1,"car_id":1,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":5551,"route_id":1,"car_id":2,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":11101,"route_id":1,"car_id":3,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":16651,"route_id":1,"car_id":4,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":22201,"route_id":1,"car_id":5,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":27751,"route_id":1,"car_id":6,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":33301,"route_id":1,"car_id":7,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":38851,"route_id":1,"car_id":8,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null}]},
From my understanding you are trying to access a Car model through a Route model.
A couple of things I noticed that should help you find a solution.
First off I think the inverse relation you are supposed to use the belongToMany() function instead.
public function car() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Car','Rates'); // Perhaps call the table something like routes_cars to more clearly define it's a pivot table
}
Next I see you are trying to use model functions within the context of $this(). I assume you are doing this in your model? That logic should be in a controller, that might cause some undesired results but I'm not entirely sure. Also it looks like your parameters are incorrect when using with(). You use the function name that you defined in belongsToMany()
App/Route::with('car')->paginate(74);
With the correct relationships setup you rarely need to worry about the pivot table. If you are going to add extra information in the pivot table there are laravel functions to help you do that in the documentation.
I have a model A and a model B.
I made the relations between them, so i can do A->B->property.
But now I'm facing some problems.
I need to make a query and get only that B->property, not the B object.
So i use this:
A::with(['B'])->get()
But then a get a property called B in A with the complete B model.
Is there anyway to achieve something like this.
A::with(['B->property'])->get()
So then in the B property inside A I get the B->property instead the B object.
Is it possible?
PS: I can't use the query builder because i need that eloquent model.
I think this article will help you out:
http://laraveldaily.com/why-use-appends-with-accessors-in-eloquent/
You can put
$appends = ['property'] in your model to add a property field to your model.
Then, with an accessor method in the model you can describe how to populate that field (ie: with a field from another model via relationship).
It seems like that ought to give you what you want.
Try below code
In your A model:
protected $appends = ['property'];
public function B()
{
return $this->hasOne('\App\B');
}
public function getPropertyAttribute()
{
return $this->B()->property;
}
then A->property will give you B->property. Change model name and property name as per your requirement.
The answer by #shoieb0101 did not work for me because I had a belongsTo relationship rather than hasOne. If this is the case for you too, you just need to modify the accessor function as illustrated below.
protected $appends = ['property'];
public function B()
{
return $this->belongsTo('\App\B');
}
public function getPropertyAttribute()
{
return $this->B()->first()->property;
}
Note: I added ->first() in since belongsTo returns an array of results, but we can get the property from a single result only.
You should be able to constrain eagerloaded queries:
try
A::with(["B" => function($query){
$query->select('property');
}])->get();
Im at a bit of a loss. I have an api that will create a user upon a request. This is done no problem.
I also want to create another controller action or add to my current action the ability to create an address for the same user.
Is there an easy way to do this? Or should I stick to the
$user = new User(Input::all());
$user->save();
$address = new Address(Input::all());
$address->save();
You should set up relationships between your User and Address model - http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#relationships and use associate/sync() to connect the dots.
This is a relationship problem. An address to a user will most likely be One-to-One (i.e., each Userhas a unique Address). A User might have an Address, but an Address must have a User. So in essence, the Address belongs to User.
Create two tables users and addresss, and add user_id to the address table as a column.
Then you define your relationships:
// In your User.php model
public function address()
{
return $this->hasOne('Address');
}
// In your Address.php model
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('User');
}
Note when you use the correct notation, you can just define the model name, and not specify the pivot column. That is why I have defined the class addresss with an extra 's' to make it plural. I personally don't care about the spelling and rather Laravel take care of everything. Otherwise read the documentation on how to define the pivot column
Then you can use associate easily:
$user = new User();
// Fill $user however you want
$address = new Address();
// Fill $address however you want
$user->associate($address);
$user->save();
I was able to figure it out!
I wound up utilizing the Ardent package to help me validate my models before they hit the save method.
if my models didnt validate i will return all the errors to the user.
If they did validate my models would be created.
As for the association I am using the has many relation ship on the User and belongs to on the Address.
I used the following to save the address to the user
$address = $user->address()->save($address);
however I could only preform this after the initial user object was saved.
Thanks for all the responses guys they lead me in the right direction!
