I know the subject is a little bit confusing. Let me explain.
For a medical software that I am currently developing, I have a data structure as below:
Patients has Protocols. Protocols has Examinations, Prescriptions or Reports, all polymorphic.
In some cases, I have to directly access to the Examinations of Patients. However, since this includes a polymorphic relation between Examination and Protocol, I cannot directly setup a relation method in my Patient model.
As a work around, I can set a custom getExaminationsAttribute and append this with $appends in Patient model. But this causes a whole load of data fetching when I try to get ,for example, only the name of a Patient.
Any help is appreciated.
Patient model:
class Patient extends Model{
protected $table = 'patients';
public function protocols(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Protocol', 'patients_id', 'id');
}
protected $appends = ['examinations'];
public function getExaminationsAttribute()
{
$examinations = array();
$this->protocols->each(function($protocol) use (&$examinations){
$protocol->examinations->each(function($examination) use (&$examinations){
$examinations[] = $examination->toArray();
});
});
return $examinations;
}
Protocol model:
class Protocol extends Model{
protected $table = 'protocols';
public function patient(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Patient', 'patients_id', 'id');
}
public function examinations()
{
return $this->morphedByMany('App\Examination', 'protocolable');
}
Examination model:
class Examination extends Model{
protected $table = 'examinations';
public function protocols()
{
return $this->morphToMany('App\Protocol', 'protocolable');
}
As a workaround, patients_id column added to submodels of Protocol table (Examinations, Prescriptions etc.) and will be fetched via hasMany relationship.

I have 3 tables
User (id,name,mail,mobile)
Contest (id,contest_name,contest_description)
Contest_user (id,user_id,contest_id)
I want to write a has many contest user method in the contest model also I need the user details from the method.
Kindly tell me how can I get the desired result.
Model Screenshot
<?php
namespace App\Model\Contest;
use App\Model\Project\ContestUsers;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Contest extends Model
{
protected $table = 'contest';
protected $fillable = ['name','description'];
public $dates = [
'created_at',
'updated_at',
'deleted_at',
];
//I want to get user details from this method
public function project_contest_users()
{
return $this->hasMany(ContestUsers::class, 'contest_id', 'id')->whereNull('deleted_at');
}
}
contest_user is a pivot table for users and contests and should not have a model class.
The nature of the relation between User and Contest is a many to many, so you need to use belongsToMany() relation in both sides
Contest.php
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(User::class);
}
User.php
public function contests()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Contest::class);
}
From what you have done, based on my experience, it's already a good thing that you normalize the many to many relationship. But what N69S said is also correct, that pivot table should not have a Model class, so you need to make your own convention to not use the Model class to create/update/delete (read is fine by me) and if you still want to stick to this method, what you need to do now is just defining the relationships for each of the Models.
User.php:
public function contest_user()
{
return $this->hasMany(ContestUser::class);
}
ContestUser.php:
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
public function contest()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Contest::class);
}
Contest.php:
public function contest_user()
{
return $this->hasMany(ContestUser::class);
}
I'm new in laravel framework. I couldn't get work medicine with prices in controller.
My model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Medicine extends Model
{
protected $table = 'medicine';
protected $fillable = [];
protected $guarded = [];
public function withPrice()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Models\MedicinePrice', 'medicine_id', 'id');
}
}
In my app service ;
public function getRecentEntries()
{
$medicines = Medicine::orderBy('id','DESC')->take(10)->get()->toArray();
dd($medicines);
return $this->formatMedicine($medicines);
}
Table of medicine : https://take.ms/EHrwd
Table of medicine_price : https://take.ms/BMTJW
Any helps ? Thank you so much.
You are never loading the relationship in your code. You can accomplish it with:
Medicine::with('withPrice')->get();
However, the with('withPrice') sounds a little weird doesn't it? I would recommend you to rename the method of your relation in your Medicine model to something prettier, like prices:
public function prices()
{
return $this->hasMany(MedicinePrice::class);
}
And then you can retrieve the medicine with the prices like this:
$medicines = Medicine::with('prices')->orderByDesc('id')->take(10)->get()->toArray();

I am developing a system that extends an existing ERP system, and so is accessing two databases (both on the same MS SQL Server). I am trying to access items on the "Equipment" model (this is a table in the ERP database) through the "EquipmentInstance" model from the "EquipmentType" model (these two are in the new database). They are related as per this diagram:
The three models are as follows:
EquipmentType
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class EquipmentType extends Model
{
protected $table = 'dbo.EquipmentType';
protected $connection = 'sqlsrv';
protected $primaryKey = 'EquipmentTypeID';
protected $fillable = [
'TypeName',
'ProductManager'
];
public function EquipmentInstance()
{
return $this->hasMany(EquipmentInstance::class,'EquipmentTypeID', 'EquipmentTypeID');
}
public function Equipment()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(
Equipment::class,
EquipmentInstance::class,
'TypeID',
'PartNum',
'TypeID',
'PartNum'
);
}
}
EquipmentInstance
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class EquipmentInstance extends Model
{
protected $table = 'dbo.EquipmentInstance';
protected $primaryKey = 'EquipmentID';
protected $keyType = 'string';
protected $connection = 'sqlsrv';
protected $fillable = [
'EquipmentID',
'EquipmentTypeID',
'PartNum'
];
public function Part()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Part::class,'PartNum','PartNum');
}
public function Equipment()
{
return $this->hasMany(Equipment::class,'PartNum', 'PartNum');
}
public function EquipmentType()
{
return $this->belongsTo(EquipmentType::class); /*,'EquipmentTypeID', 'EquipmentTypeID'*/
}
/* public function Attribute()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Equipment::class,'SerialNumber', 'JobNum');
}
public function TechNote()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Equipment::class,'SerialNumber', 'JobNum');
}*/
}
Equipment
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Equipment extends Model
{
protected $table = 'ERP.SerialNo';
public $timestamps = false;
protected $primaryKey = 'SerialNumber';
protected $keyType = 'string';
protected $connection = 'epicor';
public function Part()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Part::class,'PartNum','PartNum');
}
public function Customer()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Customer::class,'CustNum', 'CustNum');
}
public function Equipment()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Equipment::class,'SerialNumber', 'JobNum');
}
public function EquipmentInstance()
{
return $this->belongsTo(EquipmentInstance::class,'PartNum', 'PartNum');
}
}
On the EquipmentType Controller I am trying to get all of the Equipment through the EquipmentInstance so for each EquipmentInstance I can display all of the Equipments.
EquipmentType Controller
public function show(EquipmentType $EquipmentType)
{
$EquipmentInstance = $EquipmentType->EquipmentInstance()
->get();
$Equipments = $EquipmentType->EquipmentInstance()->Equipment()
->get();
return view('EquipmentType.show', compact('EquipmentType', 'EquipmentInstance', 'Equipments'));
}
The error message I get is
"BadMethodCallException
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany::Equipment()"
I believe the issue is that (my understanding is rocky) that Eloquent is trying to write one query to access both databases, which is failing. However I am not sure how to proceed.
Any help would be greatly received.
Richard
Update
I have implemented what gbalduzzi suggested in his answer, which almost worked, and I am sure the issue is with my blade implemtention. I have nested two forloops:
#foreach($EquipmentType->EquipmentInstance as $EquipmentInstance)
#foreach($Equipments as $Equipment)
<tr>
<td>{{$EquipmentInstance->PartNum}} - {{$EquipmentInstance->Part->PartDescription}}</td>
<td>{{$Equipment->SerialNumber}}</td>
<td>{{$Equipment->SNStatus}}</td>
<td>{{--{{$Equipment->Customer->LegalName}}--}}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
#endforeach
Which is displaying the serial numbers (from the Equipment model) for the first EquipmentInstance only and repeating them for all EquipmentInstanced.
Update 2
I have proven that the issue is with first() in the suggested answer, as if I change this to last() the results change as you would expect (see update 1). So my question now is:
Is there an equivelant of first(), last() which is all() or every()?
The problem is not in your database configuration, but in the way you are calling the relationship. Instead of:
$Equipments = $EquipmentType->EquipmentInstance()->Equipment()
->get();
use:
$Equipments = $EquipmentType->EquipmentInstance->first()->Equipment()
->get();
Long answer
In Eloquent, you can use a relationship in 2 ways:
as a magic field (i.e. $EquipmentType->EquipmentInstance). In this case you get as a result an instance of the model EquipmentInstance (also, if you already queried it, it directly returns the value without executing a new query)
as an eloquent query (i.e. $EquipmentType->EquipmentInstance()). Using it as a function, you don't get the model but a RelationShip instance, that is basically an eloquent query and can be chained with other eloquent methods, such as where, orderBy, ecc
So, if you call $EquipmentType->EquipmentInstance()->Equipment() it throws an error because the eloquent query does NOT have the relationship Equipment().
On the other hand, $EquipmentType->EquipmentInstance->Equipment works because it calls Equipment on the actual model instance, that has the Equipment relationship properly defined.
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();
I have been able to set up a m:m relationship in eloquent outside laravel and retrieve records but I have no idea how to add a new record as you dont create the pivot table in the code.
If these are my classes, how would i add a new instance to the M:M relationship between author and publisher?
<?php
include 'eloquent_database.php';
class Publisher extends Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model {
public $timestamps = false;
protected $table = 'publisher';
protected $primaryKey = 'publisher_id';
public function authors (){
return $this->belongsToMany('Author', 'author_publisher', 'publisher_id', 'author_id');
}
}
class Book extends Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model {
public $timestamps = false;
protected $table = 'book';
protected $primaryKey = 'book_id';
public function author() {
//related table name, pk in current table,
return $this->belongsTo('Author', 'author_id');
}
}
// Create the company model
class Author extends Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model {
public $timestamps = false;
protected $table = 'author';
protected $primaryKey = 'author_id';
public function books()
{
//related table, fk IN related table,
return $this->hasMany('Book', 'author_id');
}
public function publishers (){
return $this->belongsToMany('Publisher', 'author_publisher', 'author_id', 'publisher_id');
}
}
I would also need to know how to delete one too. I have seen this documentation http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent#working-with-pivot-tables but i dont really follow it
Id really appreicate an exxample of how to add and delete a new instance. Also onine there seeems to be so many different versions its hard to find which docs to follow as the code i have works but i didnt get it from the docs - just trial and error
Thanks a lot in advance
edit:
in repsonse to Rays comment i do have a pivot table in the database called author_publisher with author id and publisher id but i have no idea how to work with this pivot table. Do i have to create a class for it? I dont really understand
Here is a reference to said table in the code above
return $this->belongsToMany('Author', 'author_publisher', 'publisher_id', 'author_id');
When having a M:M relationship, make sure you have a table that translates the relationship between author and publisher. An example table could be composed of entries including both author_id and publisher_id. From what you have provided, you lack such a table.
There's another case if you do not have such a table. In order for such a M:M relationship to work, the author table must contain a column called "publisher_id" for simplicity. Likewise the publisher table must contain a column called "author_id". Then in the author model, return $this->hasMany('Publisher', 'author_id') and in the publisher model, return $this->hasMany('Author', 'publisher_id'). You should get the correct answer.
