i have two tables
**students :**
id
family_id
name
**family :**
id
father_name
father_civil_id
contact_no
both tables are connected using family_id, i want to get how many Brothers/Sisters each students have(with name of sibling) using eloquent.
can you please help me, with controller/model/view.
Let's say you have a Student and Family model. Then you have several ways to do it.
Here are the two easiest ones I can guess with the information you provided.
Without relationship
Controller
Student::where('family_id', $family_id)->get();
HasMany relationship
Family model
class Family extends Model
{
// Since Laravel will expect your table to be 'families'
protected $table = 'family';
public function students()
{
return $this->hasMany(Student::class);
}
}
Controller
$family = Family::with('students')->inRandomOrder()->first();
$siblings = $family->students;
In Students Model:
public function family() {
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Family');
}
public function getSiblings() {
return $this->family->students;
}
So you can call it by your students:
$student->getSiblings();

Version: Laravel 5.4
I have 3 Models
Model: Employee
protected $fillable = ['name'];
public function emails(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Email')->using('App\EmailEmployee');
}
Model: Email
protected $fillable = ['username'];
public function employees(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Employee')->using('App\EmailEmployee');
}
Every Employee has many email access and emails allocates to many employees. But I have another column in email_employee table
email_id (emails table)
employee_id (employees table)
assigned_by (employees table)
how to make relation of assigned_by column with employees table
Pivot Model
use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Pivot;
class EmailEmployee extends Pivot{
public function assignedBy(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Employee');
}
}
I tried
$email = Email::find(1);
dd($email->employee[0]->pivot->assignedBy);
But not working
Custom Intermediate Table Model
To solve your problem, you should look to use the ->using() method on the belongsToMany method.
The subsection "Defining Custom Intermediate Table Models" in this link briefly describes this. eloquent-relationships#many-to-many
You basically create a model for the pivot table so that you can define additional relations to it.
You can still access data from Blade and Controllers the way you are now as Laravel will still deal with the relationship for you. However, you can access the pivot table with ->pivot and as you have told laravel to use a model for the pivot table, you can also access all the relationship defined functions from that model.
Example:
Employee
class Employee extends Model
{
protected $fillable = ['name'];
public function emails(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Email')
->using('App\PivotModel');
}
}
Email
class Email extends Model
{
protected $fillable = ['username'];
public function employees(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Employee')
->using('App\PivotModel');
}
}
PivotModel
class EmailEmployee extends Pivot
{
public function assignedBy(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Employee','assigned_by');
}
}
Be Sure to extend Pivot on the pivot model and not Model
Now you can just do:
$user->emails()->first()->pivot->assignedBy
The reason for the ->first() is that you have a many to many, meaning that you will be getting a collection of emails assigned to the user. You would normally loop through them but for this example, simply selecting the first will do the same.
If you just want the column value and not the relationship value, then add ->withPivot('assigned_by') which will allow you to access the value directly.
If you are wanting to audit when the assignment was made, then you may also want to add ->withTimestamps() if your pivot table has timestamps included, so that you can access those too.
Changes in Pivot model
Pivot Model
use \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Pivot;
class EmailEmployee extends Pivot{
public function assignedBy(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Employee','assigned_by');
}
}
You can use an custom pivot model
EmailEmployee
class EmailEmployee extends Pivot
{
public function giver()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Employee');
}
}
Employee
class Employee extends Model
{
public function emails(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Email')->using('App\EmailEmployee');
}
}
Email
class Email extends Model
{
public function employees()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Employee')->using('App\EmailEmployee');
}
}
So you can access giver by $email->pivot->giver;
i have two tables,
Student table
which have column (id, family_id,name,class,section)
Family table
which have column (family_id, mobile_no, profession)
--
i have created two models.
student model:
class student extends Model
{
}
and
family model
class family extends Model
{
public function student()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\student');
}
}
--
i am able to show all data from student table,
my controller is:
public function index()
{
$finddata = student::orderBy('id', 'asc')->get();
return view('students.index')->with('finddata', $finddata); }
--
what i tried
in family model:
return $this->hasMany('App\students');
what i want;
i want to connect family model with student model..
index page will have all students name only. which i have already done
when i click on student name it should show, all information about particular student, and his family information. right now it's only showing information from student table.
In the student model:
class student extends Model
{
public function family(){
return $this->belongsTo(Family::class,'family_id');
}
}
Then you can access family information in Blade by:
{{$student->family->mobile_no}}
{{$student->family->profession}}
You should better use artisan commands to generate models and controllers, so that you get automatic templates that follow naming conventions, such as uppercase Class names.
You should try this
class student extends Model
{
public function familyId(){
return $this->belongsTo(Family::class,'family_id');
}
}
when you click on student name it will redirect to student/{id}
route
Route::get('student/{id}', 'StudentController#show');
student controller
public function show(Request $request, $id)
{
$student = student::find($id);
return view('student.show')->with('student', $student);
}
student.show.blade file
Mobile no: {{ $student->familyId->mobile_no }}
Profession: {{ $student->familyId->profession }}
I'm using Laravel and Eloquent.
I have a courses table and a Pivot table that holds the related courses.
My pivot table named relatedCourses has 2 columns, course1 & course2.
In the above example, Course ID 5 is related with Course ID 7.
$data["course"] = course::where("isActive",1)->with('related')->find(5);
This works and brings ID 7 as related.
If i try
$data["course"] = course::where("isActive",1)->with('related')->find(7) it should bring ID 5 as related, this is what i'm trying to achieve.
My code is like this in the model :
class course extends Model
{
public function category()
{
return $this->hasOne('App\courseCategory',"categoryId");
}
public function related()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Models\course', 'relatedCourses', 'course1', 'course2');
}
}
You can define two relationships for this query.
class course extends Model
{
public function category()
{
return $this->hasOne('App\courseCategory',"categoryId");
}
public function relatedCourses()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Models\Course', 'relatedCourses', 'course1', 'course2');
}
public function originalCourses()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Models\Course', 'relatedCourses', 'course2', 'course1');
}
}
Then you can query your relations,
$data["course"] = course::where("isActive",1)->with('relatedCourses')->find(5);
and
$data["course"] = course::where("isActive",1)->with('originalCourses')->find(7);
To merge both relations you can do like this
$course = course::where("isActive",1)->with('originalCourses', 'relatedCourses')->get();
Hope this will help you.
Let me first explain the relations of my table, and then I will explain what I cannot do.
So, I have an entity called "Company" it has many "Incomes" which has many "IncomeUnitSale" which has one "IncomeUnitSaleUnitPrice"
Company 1->* Income 1->* IncomeUnitSale 1->1 IncomeUnitSaleUnitPrice
Models:
Company Model
public function Income(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Income');
}
Income Model (table has "company_id")
public function Company(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Company');
}
public function IncomeUnitSale(){
return $this->hasMany('App\IncomeUnitSale');
}
IncomeUnitSale Model (table has "income_id")
public function Income(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Income');
}
public function IncomeUnitSaleUnitPrice(){
return $this->hasOne('App\IncomeUnitSaleUnitPrice');
}
IncomeUnitSaleUnitPrice (table has "income_unit_sale_id")
public function IncomeUnitSale(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\IncomeUnitSale');
}
What I am trying to do is the following:
$company = Company::where("id","=",1)->first();
$company->Income->IncomeUnitSale->IncomeUnitSaleUnitPrice
But It says its null, it works till $company->Income->IncomeUnitSale but after that doest't show any relation.
Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you!
hasMany relationships will always return an Eloquent Collection object. If there are no related records, it will just be an empty Collection. hasOne and belongsTo relationships will always return either the related Model, or null if there is no related model.
Because some of your relationships are hasMany, you have to iterate the returned Collection to be able to go further. So, instead of $company->Income->IncomeUnitSale->IncomeUnitSaleUnitPrice, you have to:
foreach($company->Income as $income) {
foreach($income->IncomeUnitSale as $sale) {
echo $sale->IncomeUnitSaleUnitPrice->price;
}
}
I've got some troubles with an eloquent query.
Users have many feeds and feeds have many items.
I need to get all the items that belongs to the feeds of the user order by date.
I've got a pivot table:
feed_user
----------
- id
- feed_id
- user_id
and relationships are defined like this in my models:
class UsersController extends BaseController {
public function feeds() {
return $this->hasMany('feed');
}
class Feed extends \Eloquent {
protected $fillable = [];
public function users() {
return $this->belongsToMany('User');
}
public function items() {
return $this->hasMany('Item');
}
class Item extends \Eloquent {
protected $fillable = [];
public function feed() {
return $this->belongsTo('Feed');
}
But when I do this query...
Auth::user()->feeds->items->orderBy('date', 'DESC')->get();
It returns this error:
Cannot access protected property Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::$items
There are a couple issues here.
First, the relationship on User model is not correct. A hasMany relationship is one half a one-to-many relationship. This would assume that a feed belongs to one user, and that the feed table has the user_id field. A many-to-many relationship is defined by adding a belongsToMany relationship on both models. So, a user belongsToMany feeds, and a feed belongsToMany users.
class User extends \Eloquent {
public function feeds() {
return $this->belongsToMany('feed');
}
}
Next, the error you're seeing is because Auth::user()->feeds returns a Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection object. You're then trying to access the items attribute on the Collection, which is protected and throws the error you're seeing.
Finally, since Laravel does not use joins for relationships, you cannot order a query by a field on a related table without manually doing the join yourself.
Try using eager loading:
Auth::user()->with('feeds.items')->orderBy('date', 'DESC')->get();
