Model - User
id [999]
name [foo]
Model - Post (without User Foreign Key)
id [1]
unique_key [USR_00000999]
data [bar]
I would like to get all user with related posts (one to many) by using "custom key" value, is this possible with build in eloquent?
I only manage to looping using foreach one by one with
Post::query()
->where('unique_key', sprintf('USR_%08d', $user_id))
->count();
That is not built-into Laravel by default... if you want to know why it's because it's not a common thing that everyone does...
BUT, you can use scope query so you don't need to do the sprintf everytime...
Laravel Query Scopes Documentation
But I want to ask, why wouldn't you just add user_id on your post table and just have an Accessors on your post model for generating the unique_key? That would be much easier on my perspective...
Laravel Accessor Documentation
UPDATE: (See Comment)
Is it possible to have an empty user_id on Posts table?
then populate it when the user is created?
say you have a posts with key of USR_00000999... and you have a user with an id of 999... when you create that user you'll just have to update all posts with key of USR_00000999 to have a user_id of 999...

I am trying to see if a user id is contained in a json field in my laravel collection. In my postgresql database I have a user_id field which contains a list of integers that pertain to my user model and table. I am aware in eloquent I can use the whereJsonContains method but I am not finding an equivalent method for a collection. How can I go about searching this user_id column for a specific user id?
check the manual for the aviable methods list:

I am making a multi-vendor ecommerce website using Laravel 7. I am trying to make an Order History page where in a single can user can view only his/her own orders. I am having a problem building the query on my OrderHistoryController. These are the codes on my controller:
$users = User::get();
$orders = Order::find($users);
return view('order-history', compact('orders'));
And I'm trying to loop $orders on my blade file. I have:
#foreach ($orders as $order)
<div>{{ $order->id}}</div>
<div>{{ $order->grand_total}}</div>
#endforeach
I am trying to pass the order id and order grand total to my view. I don't get any error however it shows a different order details from a different customer. How do I do this?
You should use MySQL (or any other database you are using) table relationships and foreign keys.
So, your orders table, should have columns id, user_id, date, and so on. The important thing is user_id column. You want to make that column a foreign key. That basically means that user_id will hold an id value from another table, in this case user. See how to make foreign key columns in laravel migrations here.
Next up is to use Laravel's built in model relationships. You can read more about them here. Basically, in your orders model you want to have a function user which returns $this->belongsTo(App\Models\User::class) and in your user model you want to have a function orders which returns $this->hasMany(App\Models\Order::class) (or whatever the namespace is for both of them).
That way, you can call $user->orders and get a collection of Order models which will contain only the orders of that particular user.
Definitely read the documentation carefully and learn basic concepts of the framework first and how relational databases function!
You can get a lot of this information just by googling it or reading the documentation of Laravel or any other framework you plan on using! Good luck learning :)
Using Eloquent, I'm trying to make a polymorphic relationship between some models that isn't working out. Simplified, it works like this: there is a model 'groups', which obviously can contain some groups. Now each of these groups can either contain 'members' or 'guests', so I have a table and model for both of them. These are not similar to each other. My groups table contains a column in which model to use (members or guests). The structure is as follows:
groups (\App\Models\Group)
id
name
model (either \App\Models\Member or \App\Models\Guest)
members (\App\Models\Member)
id
group_id
first_name
last_name
address
email
.....
guests (\App\Models\Guest)
id
group_id
name
So the relationship 'people' in a group retrieves either the members or the guests. Using the default $this->morphTo() function using the group_id is able to retrieve the correct results, but due to its logic only returns one result, while I need all results. The rest of the app is indifferent to whether the people are members or guests, so I do not want to split those two up here.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I'm trying to eager load the relationship.
I have a question. I have an user model and a post model. A user can have many posts. Now I need to get posts with pagination. And I need to sort posts by their related user's id desc. Per page number is 10. I do not know how to write this code, someone can help me? Thanks.
Since Post belongs to User the posts table has user_id key. Use it:
Post::orderBy('user_id', 'desc')->paginate(10);
I have this table articles and users and I already made model on them and made some relationships with them thru MODEL and some foreign keys. How will I display it in a view like this article is created by this user. How will I query it ? like
$article->user() bla bla.
$query=article::where(['id'=>1])->with('user')->first();
$email=$query->user->email;
print_r($email);
this gives the email of the user with article id 1, if proper models and relationships.
