Laravel access to two level parent table in a relationship - laravel

Question

i have use laravel and i have this models and relationship between tables
Customers table
class Customers extends Model
{
public $primaryKey = 'id';
protected $fillable = [
'contr_nom',
'contr_cog',
'benef_nom',
'benef_cog',
'email',
'polizza',
'targa',
'iban',
'int_iban',
'cliente',
];
public function claims()
{
return $this->hasMany(Claims::class);
}
public function refunds()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(Refunds::class, Claims::class);
}
}
claims table
class Claims extends Model
{
public $primaryKey = 'id';
protected $fillable = [
'dossier',
'date_cla',
];
public function refunds()
{
return $this->hasMany(Refunds::class);
}
public function customers()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Customers::class,'customers_id');
}
}
refunds table
class Refunds extends Model
{
public $primaryKey = 'id';
protected $fillable = [
'date_ref',
'status_ref',
'disactive',
'num_pre',
'date_liq',
];
public function services()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Services::class)
->withPivot(['services_id','services_amount','services_status']);
}
public function claims()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Claims::class,'claims_id');
}
}
in controller i did this function
public function addDateLiq2(Request $request){
$date_liq = request("date_liq");
$refunds = Refunds::whereNotNull('num_pre')->get();
foreach ($refunds as $refund) {
$status_ref= $refund->status_ref;
if ($status_ref == 5){
//send mail
//I need to retrieve mail field from customers table
}
$refund->date_liq = $date_liq;
$refund->save();
if(!$refund->save()){
App::abort(500, 'Error');
}
}
return Response::json(array('success' => 'Date salvate massivamente correttamente!'), 200);
}
that add a date in all records where num_pre is not null.
OK i wanted also send a mail but mail field is in Customer parent table....how can i access it?
Thx

Answer 1

Ok i seem i found a way with this in function addDateLiq2
$data = Claims::with(array('customers'=>function($query){
$query->select('id','email');
}))
->whereHas('refunds', function($query) use($claims_id) {
$query->where('claims_id', $claims_id);
})
->first();
