Query with join table bringing wrong ID - Laravel - laravel

Question

This is driving me crazy.
I have two tables: Records and Users and a query to bring records of users:
$records = Record::with('user')
->join('users', 'users.id', '=', 'records.user_id')
->orderBy('users.name', 'asc')
->where('schedule_id', $schedule->id)
->get();
The dd($records); brings me this:
Collection {#827 ▼
#items: array:6 [▼
0 => Record {#773 ▼
#connection: "mysql"
#table: null
#primaryKey: "id"
#keyType: "int"
+incrementing: true
#with: []
#withCount: []
#perPage: 15
+exists: true
+wasRecentlyCreated: false
#attributes: array:13 [▼
"id" => 26
"user_id" => 26
"schedule_id" => 3
"start_time" => "12:00"
"end_time" => "20:00"
"created_at" => null
"updated_at" => null
"name" => "Ali Fay"
"email" => "twolff#gmail.com"
"password" => ""
"role_id" => 6
"store_id" => 3
"remember_token" => null
]
As you can see, the attributes are ok of both models except the "id", that is the id of the user, not the record. What I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

The concrete problem is this case, that you have two columns named id in the join, so select the columns you need and only select one of the ids, can probaly easily be solved by this, and if columns of the user is needed you can select them as wanted.
$records = Record::with('user')
->join('users', 'users.id', '=', 'records.user_id')
->orderBy('users.name', 'asc')
->where('schedule_id', $schedule->id)
->select('records.*')
->get();
The best solution is to use relationships, so if the model is something similar to.
public class record
{
public function user() {
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
}
Then you instead can do the same query as. WhereHas checks if the relation with the given condition exists, otherwise if there was no condition, has could have been used.
Record::whereHas('user', function ($query) use($schedule){
$query->where('schedule_id', $schedule->id);
})->get()->sortBy(function($item, $key) {
return $item->user->name;
});

Answer 2

You don't need to use join() here:
$records = $schedule->records()->with('user')->get();
Then sort the collection:
$records->sortBy(function($i) {
return $i->user->name;
});
