Generate sugestions by genre id - laravel

Question

Using laravel 7 and pivot tables i have something like this:
Model: show
public function genres()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\ShowGenre');
}
Model: ShowGenre
public function shows()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Show', 'show_show_genre')->orderBy('name', 'asc');
}
In mysql database i have show_genres where i put my show_id and genre_id. So i want to create something like suggestion based.
At bottom my page i want to display 5 random tv shows that have same genre. Some tv shows have multiple genres so how can i display that and limit it with suma 5.

Answer 1

show_show_genre should have show_id and show_genre_id because show_show_genre is pivot table. show_genres is not pivot table since it is genre's table as described in code. Also, you don't need to set show_show_genre in return statement since Laravel will automatically recognize it's pivot table.
Try something like this:
$show = Show::findOrFail($id);
$featuredShows = Show::whereHas('genres', function ($query) use ($show) {
$query->whereIn('show_genres.id', $show->genres()->pluck('id')->toArray());
})->where('id', '!=' , $show->id)->with(['genres'])->inRandomOrder()->limit(5)->get();
