Retriving All Polymorphic Relations in Laravel - laravel

Question

I've created polymorphic relations in my project. when i want to retrieve them like below
return view('category.index')->with('categories', Category::all()) ;
It returns the relations when i dd() them. However when I want to access the relation in view
when i call it in view it gives me the following result
{"id":1,"image":"abc\/abc.jpg","imageable_id":6,"imageable_type":"App\\Category","created_at":"2020-07-24T13:37:29.000000Z","updated_at":"2020-07-24T13:37:29.000000Z"}
but when i want to access the id or image index it says
Trying to get property 'id' of non-object (View:
D:\WaheedSindhani\Projects\Menu\menu_proj\resources\
views\category\index.blade.php)
i am not picking it up what is happening here
#if(isset($categories))
#foreach($categories as $category)
<tr>
<th scope="row">{{$loop->index+1}}</th>
<td>{{$category->name}}</td>
<td>{{$category->images->image}}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
#endif
It says no attribute named image found.
Migration are as below
Images Table
public function up()
{
Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('image');
$table->unsignedInteger('imageable_id');
$table->string('imageable_type');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Menus Table
public function up()
{
Schema::create('menus', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->boolean('visible');
$table->integer('priority');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Categories Table
public function up()
{
Schema::create('categories', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name');
$table->boolean('visibility');
$table->integer('priority');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Models are as follow
class Menu extends Model
{
public function images()
{
return $this->morphMany( 'App\Image', 'imageable');
}
}
class Image extends Model
{
protected $guarded = [];
public function imageable(){
return $this->morphTo();
}
}
class Category extends Model
{
protected $guarded = [];
public function images()
{
return $this->morphMany(Image::class, 'imageable');
}
}

Answer 1

your problem occurs because the category->images is a Collection of images, not a single image. Because your relation is one to many, not one to one relationship so the soultion would be to loop over the images using a each loop and then do your work there.
that is why you are getting the error that you are trying to access a prop on a non-object.
#if(isset($categories))
#foreach($categories as $category)
<tr>
<th scope="row">{{$loop->index+1}}</th>
<td>{{$category->name}}</td>
#foreach($category->images as $image)
<td>{$image->name}</td>
#endforeach
</tr>
#endforeach
#endif
and this concept is true for every relationship that has a Many in them, hasMany, belongsToMany, etc...
