How to access the parent data eloquent join - laravel-5

Question

i have two tables products and orders
i am able to access all data in the table Order but can't access products product_name
below is the Order model
class Order extends Model
{
// Table name
protected $tablename = 'orders';
// primary key
public $primaryKey = 'id';
public function products(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Product');
}
}
Product model
class Product extends Model
{
// Table name
protected $tablename = 'products';
// primary key
public $primaryKey = 'id';
// Timestamps
public $timestamps = true;
public function orders(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Order');
}
}
in my controller i have this OrderController
class OrdersController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth');
}
public function index(){
$orderedProducts = Order::with('products')->paginate(5);
return view::make('orders.index')->with('products',$orderedProducts);
}
}
now trying to access the product_name on the view fails
#foreach ($products as $product)
<tr>
<td>{{'#'.++$i}}</td>
<td>{{$product->product_name}}</td> //fails to get this from products table
<td>{{$product->quantity}}</td>
<td>{{$product->totalPrice}}</td>
<td>{{$product->totalPrice * $product->quantity }}</td>
<td>{{$product->created_at->diffForHumans()}}</td>
<td>{{$product->orderStatus}}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach

Answer 1

Need to do so
Controller:
public function index(){
$order = Order::with('products')->paginate(5);
return view::make('orders.index')->with('products',$order->products);
}
or
Controller:
public function index(){
$order = Order::with('products')->paginate(5);
return view::make('orders.index')->with('order',$order);
}
View:
#foreach ($order->products as $product)
#if(!empty($product))
<tr>
<td>{{'#'.$loop->iteration}}</td>
<td>{{$product->product_name}}</td> //fails to get this from products table
<td>{{$product->quantity}}</td>
<td>{{$product->totalPrice}}</td>
<td>{{$product->totalPrice * $product->quantity }}</td>
<td>{{$product->created_at->diffForHumans()}}</td>
<td>{{$product->orderStatus}}</td>
</tr>
#endif
#endforeach

Answer 2

i finally figured it by changing my Order model method from products to product because it was having the same name with protected $tablename = 'products'; in the Product model then after that i referenced the related method product in the Order model directly in the view as follow <td>{{$product->product->product_name}}</td>
the complete working code now below
Order model where i changed the method from products to product
class Order extends Model
{
// Table name
protected $tablename = 'orders';
// primary key
public $primaryKey = 'id';
public function product(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Product');
}
}
Product model
class Product extends Model
{
// Table name
protected $tablename = 'products';
// primary key
public $primaryKey = 'id';
// Timestamps
public $timestamps = true;
public function orders(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Order');
}
}
Controller
public function index(){
$order = Order::with('product')->paginate(5);
return view::make('orders.index')->with('order',$order);
}
lastly on the view where i make reference to the method product in the Order model
#foreach ($order as $product)
#if (!empty($product))
<tr>
<td>{{$product->product->product_name}}</td> **//Here is the referencing**
<td>{{$product->quantity}}</td>
<td>{{$product->totalPrice}}</td>
<td>{{$product->totalPrice * $product->quantity }}</td>
<td>{{$product->created_at->diffForHumans()}}</td>
<td>{{$product->orderStatus}}</td>
</tr>
#endif
#endforeach
