Laravel get result from query in side query by Eloquent in one object - laravel

Question

I have two tables:
main_presentations
so here i have "id" and "isEnabled";
child_presentations
And here i have "id" , "isEnabled" and "idParent";
I want to select in one object this is my code:
public function MainSlider(MainPresentation $MainPresentations, ChildPresentation $ChildPresentations)
{
$MainPresentations = MainPresentation::where('isEnabled', true)->get();
foreach ($MainPresentations as $MainPresentation) {
$AnArray[] = ChildPresentation::where([
['idParent', $MainPresentation['id']],
['isEnabled', true]
])->get();
}
return $AnArray;
}
but this is the result:
enter image description here

Answer 1

What you are doing is executing a query per result, which can be ineffective when it starts getting bigger.
You can:
Use querybuilder
As it follows, you just build a query starting on ChildPresentation, set a relation to MainPresentation table by id and get the collection
public function MainSlider()
{
$childPresentations = ChildPresentation::join('main_presentations','main_presentations.id','child_presentations.idParent')
->where('child_presentations.isEnabled', true)->where('main_presentations.isEnabled', true)->get();
return $childPresentations;
}
If you want all the MainPresentations with their respective ChildPresentations, only the enables ones.
You can take advantage of Laravel relationships and eager loading.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/eloquent-relationships
First, set the relationships in your MainPresentation model
In MainPresentation.php
public function childPresentation {
return $this->hasMany('App\ChildPresentation', 'idParent', 'id');
}
Your MainSlider function would be:
(Btw, no idea why you're receiving two arguments if you're overriding them but doesn't matter)
public function MainSlider() {
$mainPresentations = MainPresentation::with(['childPresentations' => function ($advancedWith) {
child_presentation.isEnabled is true
$advancedWith->where('isEnabled', true);
}])
->where('isEnabled', true)->get()->toArray();
return $mainPresentations;
}
This will return an array of MainPresentations that contain an array of child_presentations, with all their childs.
This translates to two queries:
Select * from main_presentations where isEnabled = true;
Select * from child_presentations where isEnabled= true and id in (in the first query);
Laravel then does background work to create the structure you desire when you write ->toArray()
Note: If you have a $visible array in your MainPresentation model, be sure to add: 'childPresentation' to it, otherwise the toArray will not agregage the childs to the parent.
Second note: I advise following some standards whenever you're writing code, usually functions are named camelCase and variables are camelCase.
