Eloquent get data from pivot table - laravel

Question

Having difficulty, even after reading the docs, to get the 'property name' from the related 'properties' table while querying for a product from the 'products' table with the pivot 'product_properties'.
My Models: Models\Product::class, Models\Property::class, Models\ProductProperty::class;
If I run the query:
$product = new App\Models\Product();
$product->where('id', 1)->with('properties')->get();
I get the full product object along with the properties, and this is working good, but what I can't figure out is how to get the property name from the properties table.
In summary, I need to display the property name from the properties table that is related with the product_properties table. Ex: 130mm width
What I need to achieve is something like the following:
Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection {#4400
all: [
App\Models\Product {
id: 1,
name: "Chrystal Block",
details: "Ships in an exclusive branded box.",
price: 50.00,
has_shipment: 1,
created_at: "2019-05-10 02:15:22",
updated_at: "2019-05-10 02:15:22",
deleted_at: null,
properties: Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection {
all: [
App\Models\ProductProperty {
product_id: 4,
property_id: 1,
value: "130",
unit: "mm",
created_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
updated_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
deleted_at: null,
// ***** This is what I'm looking for (hardcoded here *****
property: Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection {
all: [
App\Models\Property {
id: 1,
name: "width",
created_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
updated_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
]
},
},
App\Models\ProductProperty {
product_id: 4,
property_id: 2,
value: "17",
unit: "mm",
created_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
updated_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
deleted_at: null,
},
App\Models\ProductProperty {
product_id: 4,
property_id: 3,
value: "60",
unit: "mm",
created_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
updated_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
deleted_at: null,
},
App\Models\ProductProperty {
product_id: 4,
property_id: 4,
value: "2.78",
unit: "kg",
created_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
updated_at: "2019-05-11 23:09:35",
deleted_at: null,
},
],
},
},
],
}
Thanks in advance for any help in this Eloquent query.

Answer 1

For getting relationship of relationship (Nested Relationship) you can try
$product->where('id', 1)->with('properties.property')->get();
I really love the explanation in this answer for its clarity.
