I am storing information on a 4-day class. The information is dates 1-4 and each date has an instructor associated with it as there can be different instructors on different days. Let's just talk about day_1 and instructor_day_1 for now. My models are as follows:
Course Model:
public function instructor()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Instructor');
}
Instructor Model:
public function course()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Course');
}
When i go to the #show method in my controller, i find the correct course but when i try to load the view, i can't figure out how to access the foreign relation. Right now i'm trying:
<p class="card-text">{{$course->day_1}} assigned to {{$course->instructor_day_1->instructor->name}}</p>
But that's not yielding anything but errors. If i do {{$course->instructor_day_1}}, i get the correct value from the database.
Is my relationship backwards? Does Course model need be "belongsToMany"? What is the correct syntax for pulling the instructor info? Do i need to specify any foreign key relations in my models?
belongsTo is the correct relationship, but it's not set up correctly. And you'll need 4 of them, 1 for each foreign key on the courses table.
This should get you started:
public function instructorDay1()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Instructor', 'instructor_day_1');
}
And then you would call it like this, to get instructor's name:
$course->instructorDay1->name;
And you'll need to do this for all 4 relationships.

In a project, let's say that we have Customers, and each customer can have one Voucher. The voucher, though, may be for a different thing for different customers - maybe for a Hote, a Car or a Flight.
We have a table of flight voucher codes, a table of hotel voucher codes and a table of car voucher codes.
When a customer is allocated a voucher, therefore, we allocated them the next code for the relevant thing that they're getting a voucher for. But rather than have multiple tables (customer_car_voucher, customer_hotel_voucher, and so on) I would rather have a Voucher table which is, in turn, linked to the relevant voucher type.
What I want to be able to do is just go $customer->voucher->code to get the relevant code, whether that be a flight, a hotel or a car. Other vouchers may be added at a later date, you see, for different things.
I think I can do this using morphable relationships - the voucher morphsTo car, hotel and flight, so within the the voucher table there is a "voucherable_type" and a "voucherable_id". But damned if I can get it to work.
Any help, please? Am I going about it wrong?
you arte right. and for a hint use:
public function customer()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Customer::class):
}
public function voucherable()
{
return $this->morphTo();
}
in voucher model.
and for each flight,car,hotel include:
public function voucher(){
return $this->morphOne(Voucher::class,'voucherable');
}
you can see Laravel morph relationship too for more help.
In Laravel's Eloquent ORM is used for morphable relationships.
First, create two Models AirVoucher and Voucher.
First, the AirVoucher model uses the following relationship.
public function voucher()
{
return $this->morphOne(Voucher::class, 'voucherable');
}
Second, the Voucher model uses the following relationship.
public function voucherable()
{
return $this->morphTo();
}
You can use the following Laravel official relationship document for more help.
Laravel Morph Relationships.
you must use laravel Polymorphic Relationships.
in Voucher model set this model as polymorph model(function name = modelname+"able"):
public function voucherable() \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphTo
{
return $this->morphTo();
}
then in Car model (or hotel/fight) set realation(function name= polymorph name):
if each car has one voucher, use morphOne:
public function files(): \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphOne
{
return $this->morphOne(Voucher::class, 'voucherable');
}
if each car has many voucher, use morphMany:
public function files(): \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphMany
{
return $this->morphMany(Voucher::class, 'voucherable');
}
Retrieving The Relationship
$car = Car::find(1);
$vocher = $car->voucher;

I'm having a problem. I have tables that relate:
internal_clients->subsidiaries->departments->job_titles->users
I also have their respective models.
My doubt is:
How do I get all the data associated with users from the top of the tree (internal_clients)
?
I'm trying to follow the Laravel documentation using hasManyThrough.
However, in the documentation it explains only how to do it in a chain of three tables. They teach how to place an intermediate table (model) as the second parameter of the hasManyThrough method (BaseClasse::class, IntermediaryClass::class).
However, in my case that has several tables between users and internal_clients, how would I do this? What would be the intermediate table?
I would like to make a query that returns the user's internal_client, subsidiary, department and jobTitle (associated with users).
I'm trying to do it this way:
Model InternalClient
public function users()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(User::class, InternalClient::class);
}
Controller UserController
public function allRelations($internalClientId)
{
$internalClient = InternalClient::find($internalClientId);
$users = $internalClient->users;
return response()->json($users, 201);
}
The InternalClient id arrives at the controller above.
When I access the route, the error below is returned:
In short: I would like to know if there is a way to get all the data (from all tables that are in this hierarchical tree) that are associated with the User.
I couldn't find an answer on the Stackoverflow PT-BR.
Thank you!
at the moment i try to learning Laravel and Laravel Eloquent.
I try to solve a problem using relations in Laravel.
I have following Database Structure in my simple Laravel Project.
table players:
id name
table clubs:
id name icon
table players_x_clubs:
player_id club_id
it's a one to many Relation.
Is it possible to get the full club Object who is combined with the player_id?!
The first try was to add this to my Player Model
public function club()
{
return $this->hasOne('App\PlayersXClub');
}
Here, i only get the PlayersXClub Relation with the player_id and the club_id
but i want to get the full club object from the club table, is it possible in a simple way?
any ideas how i have to realize is it correctly?
my solution was this:
public function getClubRelation()
{
$clubRelation = $this->hasOne('App\PlayersXClub')->get()->first();
$club = Club::whereId($clubRelation->club_id)->get()->first();
return $club;
}
With this solution i can do this in my code $player->getClubRelation()->icon
but i don't know if its correct solved or is there a more simple way to resolve it with Eloquent?
You always have access to objects relations. For example:
$player = Player::find(1);
$club = $player->club;
or better
$player = Player::with('club')->find(1);
However, I believe you don't need an additional table. An additional table would result in a many to many relation which doesn't make much sense here.
A player belongs to a single club and a club can have many players. So it's one to many.
You should add a club_id foreign key to players table.
$table->unsignedBigInteger('club_id');
$table->foreign('club_id')->references('id')->on('clubs')->onDelete('cascade');
Player Class
public function club() {
return $this->belongsTo(Club::class);
}
Club Class
public function players() {
return $this->hasMany(Player::class);
}
I'm learning Laravel and Laravel eloquent at the moment and now I try to solve a problem using relations in Laravel.
This is what I want to archive:
The database holds many sport clubs. A sport club has a lot of teams. Each team has games. The teams table has a column named club_id. Now I want to create Eloquent relations to get all games of a club.
Here is what I got so far:
Club model
id => PRIMARY
public function games()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Games')->whereHas('homeTeam')->orWhereHas('guestTeam');
}
Game model
home_id => FOREIGN KEY of team ; guest_id => FOREIGN KEY of team
public function homeTeam()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Team','home_id')->where('club_id','=', $club_id);
}
public function guestTeam()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Team','guest_id')->where('club_id','=', $club_id);
}
Team model
id => PRIMARY ; club_id => FOREIGN
In my controller all I want to do is Club::findOrFail($id)->games()
Executing the code above returns a SQL error that the games table does not have a column named club_id.
What is the correct way to create this kind of relation?
Thanks!
EDIT
Thanks to Nikola Gavric I've found a way to get all Games - but only where club teams are the home or away team.
Here is the relation:
public function games()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough('App\Models\Game','App\Models\Team','club_id','home_id');
}
How is it possible to get the games where the home_id OR the guest_id matches a team of the club? The last parameter in this function does not allow an array.
There is method to retrieve a "distant relationship with an intermediary" and it is called Has Many Through.
There is also a concrete example on how to use it which includes Post, Country and User, but I think it will be sufficient to give you a hint on how to create games relationship inside of a Club model. Here is a link, but when you open it, search for hasManyThrough keyword and you will see an example.
P.S: With right keys naming you could achieve it with:
public function games()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough('App\Models\Games', 'App\Models\Teams');
}
EDIT #01
Since you have 2 types of teams, you can create 2 different relationships where each relationship will get you one of the type you need. Like this:
public function gamesAsHome()
{
return $this
->hasManyThrough('App\Models\Games', 'App\Models\Teams', 'club_id', 'home_id');
}
public function gamesAsGuests()
{
return $this
->hasManyThrough('App\Models\Games', 'App\Models\Teams', 'club_id', 'guest_id');
}
EDIT #02
Merging Relationships: To merge these 2 relationships, you can use merge() method on the Collection instance, what it will do is, it will append all the records from second collection into the first one.
$gamesHome = $model->gamesAsHome;
$gamesGuests = $model->gamesAsGuests;
$games = $gamesHome->merge($gamesGuests);
return $games->unique()->all();
Thanks to #HCK for pointing out that you might have duplicates after the merge and that unique() is required to get the unique games after the merge.
EDIT #03
sortBy also offers a callable instead of a attribute name in cases where Collection contains numerical indexing. You can sort your Collection like this:
$merged->sortBy(function($game, $key) {
return $game->created_at;
});
When you define that Club hasMany games you are indicating that game has a foreign key called club_id pointing to Club. belongsTo is the same but in the other way. These need to be coherent with what you have on your database, that means that you need to have defined those keys as foreign keys on your tables.
Try this...
Club model
public function games()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Games');
}
Game model
public function homeTeam()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Team','home_id');
}
public function guestTeam()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Team','guest_id');
}
Your Query like
Club::where('id',$id)->has('games.guestTeam')->get();
I have 3 databases:
Routes:
id
name
Rates:
Id
Route_id
Car_id
Cars:
id
name
My model for routes
public function rates()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Rate', 'route_id');
}
My model for rates
public function car() {
return $this->belongsTo('App\Car','car_id');
}
Now I need to access the car relation, but when I do
return $this->route->with('from','to','rates.car')->paginate(74);
I get null for the car relation
{"id":1,"from_id":1,"to_id":2,"distance":400,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null,"from":{"id":1,"name":"\u0410\u043a\u043a\u043e","created_at":null,"updated_at":null,"lat":32.93310000000000314912540488876402378082275390625,"long":35.0827000000000026602720026858150959014892578125},"to":{"id":2,"name":"\u0410\u0440\u0430\u0434","created_at":null,"updated_at":null,"lat":31.261399999999998300381776061840355396270751953125,"long":35.21490000000000009094947017729282379150390625},"rates":[{"id":1,"route_id":1,"car_id":1,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":5551,"route_id":1,"car_id":2,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":11101,"route_id":1,"car_id":3,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":16651,"route_id":1,"car_id":4,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":22201,"route_id":1,"car_id":5,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":27751,"route_id":1,"car_id":6,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":33301,"route_id":1,"car_id":7,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null},{"id":38851,"route_id":1,"car_id":8,"rate":1123,"night_rate":1391,"car":null}]},
From my understanding you are trying to access a Car model through a Route model.
A couple of things I noticed that should help you find a solution.
First off I think the inverse relation you are supposed to use the belongToMany() function instead.
public function car() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Car','Rates'); // Perhaps call the table something like routes_cars to more clearly define it's a pivot table
}
Next I see you are trying to use model functions within the context of $this(). I assume you are doing this in your model? That logic should be in a controller, that might cause some undesired results but I'm not entirely sure. Also it looks like your parameters are incorrect when using with(). You use the function name that you defined in belongsToMany()
App/Route::with('car')->paginate(74);
With the correct relationships setup you rarely need to worry about the pivot table. If you are going to add extra information in the pivot table there are laravel functions to help you do that in the documentation.
