laravel, get data by id using foreach - laravel

Question

how do I fetch the data based on the insurance_id on the companion db? the insurance_id is dependent on another table called "insurances" if that helps. the db is this:
and the view looks like this:
here's the view:
<table class="table" id="companions_table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Date of Birth</th>
<th>IC No</th>
<th>Relationship</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach (old('companions', $companions->count() ? $companions : ['']) as $companion)
<tr id="companion{{ $loop->index }}">
<td>
<input type="text" name="companion_name[]" id="companion_name[]" class="form-control" value="{{ old('companion_name', $companion->companion_name) }}" />
</td>
<td>
<div class="input-group date" data-provide="datepicker" data-date-format="dd-mm-yyyy" data-date-today-highlight="true" data-date-end-date="0d">
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="dob[]" id="dob[]" value="{{ old('dob', $companion->dob) }}">
<div class="input-group-addon">
<span class="fa fa-calendar"></span>
</div>
</div>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="ic[]" id="ic[]" class="form-control" value="{{ old('ic', $companion->ic) }}" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="relationship[]" id="relationship[]" class="form-control" value="{{ old('relationship', $companion->relationship) }}" />
</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
<tr id="companion{{ count(old('companions', $companions->count() ? $companions : [''])) }}"></tr>
/tbody>
</table>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<button id="add_row" class="btn btn-default pull-left">+ Add Row</button>
<button id='delete_row' class="pull-right btn btn-danger">- Delete Row</button>
</div>
my controller:
public function edit(Insurance $insurance)
{
abort_if(Gate::denies('insurance_edit'), Response::HTTP_FORBIDDEN, '403 Forbidden');
$customers = CustomerProfile::all()->pluck('name', 'id')->prepend(trans('global.pleaseSelect'), '');
$products = Product::all()->pluck('name', 'id')->prepend(trans('global.pleaseSelect'), '');
$sales_2s = User::all()->pluck('name', 'id')->prepend(trans('global.pleaseSelect'), '');
$companions = Companion::all();
$insurance->load('customer', 'product', 'sales_2', 'team', 'companions');
$approvers = Role::findOrFail(3)->users()->get();
return view('admin.insurances.edit', compact('customers', 'products', 'sales_2s', 'insurance', 'approvers', 'companions'));
}
it keeps fetching all the data on the table, basically disregarding the insurance_id. how do I fix this?

Answer 1

All of the companions are being fetched, regardless of the insurance_id, because of the following line:
$companions = Companion::all();
If you only want companions with the current insurance_id, the quickest way would be to replace the previously mentioned line with:
$companions = Companion::where('insurance_id', $insurance->id)->get();
This should work, however the conventional way to handle this relationship in Laravel would be by adding the following function to your Insurance model:
use App\Models\Companion; // or wherever your model happens to be located
public function companions()
{
return $this->hasMany(Companion::class);
}
And replacing the line mentioned at the beginning with:
$companions = $insurance->companions;
