My query selects the data for movies but I only want to have one row in the join statement I use skip and limit but if I use the word "first" the query fails so at the moment I'm getting duplicates of data mainly two of them are the same because I have two rows of data in my join statement how do I get it to only select one row I have tried using distinct but it's not doing anything.
Query:
Movie::select(['movies.id', 'images.small as poster', 'title', 'release_date',
'movies.created_at', 'movies.updated_at'])->leftJoin('images', function($join) {
$join->on('images.imageable_id', '=', 'movies.id')
->where('images.imageable_type', '=', 'App\Movie')->skip(1)->take(1);
})
Use
->groupBy('distintColumnName')
to select unique rows
Hey #ONYX have you thought about using Eloquent relationships rather than building the select statement like that?
if you had the correct relationship setup in your Movie model then you could just say ->with('poster')
Then you could just set this function on your Movie model
public function poster()
{
return $this->hasMany(Images::class)->first();
}
or
public function images()
{
return $this->hasMany(Images::class);
}
public function poster()
{
return $this->images()->first();
}

I have 4 table categories, initiatives, a pivot table for the "Many To Many" relationship category_initiative and initiativegroup table related with initiatives table with initiatives.initiativesgroup_id with one to many relation.
With pure sql I retrive the information I need with:
SELECT categories.id, categories.description, initiatives.id, initiatives.description, initiativegroups.group
FROM categories
LEFT JOIN category_initiative ON categories.id = category_initiative.category_id
LEFT JOIN initiatives ON category_initiative.initiative_id = initiatives.id
LEFT JOIN initiativegroups ON initiatives.initiativegroup_id = initiativegroups.id
WHERE categories.id = '40'
How can I use eloquent model to achieve same results?
Since you have such a specific query touching multiple tables, one possibility is to use query builder. That would preserve the precision of the query, retrieving only the data you specifically need. That would look something like this:
$categories = DB::table('categories')
->select([
'categories.id',
'categories.description',
'initiatives.id',
'initiatives.description',
'initiativegroups.group',
])
->leftJoin('category_initiative', 'categories.id', '=', 'category_initiative.category_id')
->leftJoin('initiatives', 'category_initiative.initiative_id', '=', 'initiatives.id')
->leftJoin('initiativegroups', 'initiatives.initiativegroup_id', '=', 'initiativegroups.id')
->where('categories.id', '=', 40)
->get();
In your models define the relationships:
Category.php model
public function initiatives()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Initiative');
}
Initiative.php model (If has many categories change to belongs to many)
public function category()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Category');
}
Then maybe change your initiativegroup -> groups table, and then create a pivot table called group_initiative. Create model for group. Group.php and define the relationship:
public function initiatives()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Initiative');
}
Then you can also add the following relationship definition to the Initiative.php model
public function group()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Group');
}
That should get you started.
for the record..
with my original relationship, but changing table name as alex suggest, in my controller:
$inits = Category::with('initiative.group')->find($id_cat);
simple and clean
I'm having a really strange issue with my eloquent query. I have a table called Calls which I am joining to Contacts and Companies. I am trying to reference the column calls.id but it has been replaced with the id for Companies.
Here is my query:
$calls=DB::table('calls')
->leftJoin('contacts','calls.contact_id','=','contacts.id')
->leftJoin('companies','calls.company_id','=','companies.id')
->where('completed','=',false)
->orderBy('call_on','asc')
->get();
return $calls;
I have seen on Github that this seems to be a known bug but no-one has put forward a workaround.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
The most direction solution to your immediate question is to add a select to your Eloquent query:
$calls=DB::select('calls.* from calls')
->leftJoin('contacts','calls.contact_id','=','contacts.id')
->leftJoin('companies','calls.company_id','=','companies.id')
->where('completed','=',false)
->orderBy('call_on','asc')
->get();
return $calls;
Instead of the default select *, explicitly dictate what is returned. However, this can be done a lot more cleanly with Eloquent using models:
Calls::whereHas('companies', function (Builder $query) {
$query->where('completed', false);
})->orderBy('call_on', 'asc')->get();
In order for this to work you need to setup the relationship on the model level:
// App\Calls model:
public function companies() {
return $this->belongsTo(App\Companies::class);
}
// App\Companies model:
public function calls() {
return $this->hasMany(App\Calls::class);
}
Assume this:
class List extends Model
{
public function items(){
return $this->hasMany(Items::class, 'c.class_id', 'class_id')
->rightjoin('items_classes as c', 'c.items_id', '=', 'items.id');
}
}
The problem is that Eloquent prepends items to foreign key field and the final query is:
SELECT * FROM items
RIGHT JOIN items_classes as c ON c.items_id = items.id
// here it is
WHERE items.c.class_id = 10
Even using DB::raw('c.class_id') didn't solve the problem.
If you notice the signature of hasMany relation method :
return $this->hasMany(Model::class, 'foreign_key', 'local_key');
Which means when Laravel will make the query, it will consider second argument foreign_key as a column of table defined in Model::class.
To simplify in your case :
return $this->hasMany(Items::class, 'c.class_id', 'class_id')->...
Leaving the rightjoin aside for a moment, Laravel is considering c.class_id as a foreign key of Item::class table which is indeed items table.
So the resultant query is :
SELECT * FROM items WHERE items.c.class_id = 10
Then when you add the right join, laravel just adds into the main query and makes it :
SELECT * FROM items
RIGHT JOIN items_classes as c ON c.items_id = items.id
WHERE items.c.class_id = 10
Laravel will not refer items_classes in the relation because you are relating List Model to Item::class and not ItemClass::class.
I am not sure about the data you need but see if you can use with like below :
class List extends Model
{
public function items(){
return $this->hasMany(Items::class, 'c.class_id', 'class_id');
}
}
List::with(['items', function($q){
return $q->->rightjoin('items_classes as c', 'c.items_id', '=', 'items.id');
}])->get();
Hope this gives you an idea how you can update your relationships to get desired query. If you add your table structure and data you want, I can update the answer with relationships for you.
I have a two tables orders and product. Relation is One to One. In my order class i created method product
public function product() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Product', 'key_id', 'key_id');
}
Now in controller i want select rows where id is not null that's why i wanna use InnerJoin
Order::where('order_id', 7)
->join('products', 'products.key_id', 'orders.key_id')
->get();
That is fine but i would like get
Order::where('order_id', 7)->get();
and all join move to method like:
public function product() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Product', 'key_id', 'key_id')
->join('products', 'products.key_id', 'orders.key_id')
}
How can i do this ?
You have defined the relations between both the models, so If you fetch order with the following query:
Order::where('order_id', 7)->with('product')->get();
Remove the join line from product function i.e. ->join('products', 'products.key_id', 'orders.key_id')
After doing this, dump and die the $order, there will be an key pair with product and its values.
I have two models: item and faq. The are in a belongsToMany with each other with a correctly created join table: item_faq (singular of both). My join table has an additional field on it for order.
In my view I get all the faq's and if they have a pivot table record I output "checked" on a checkbox. I also have drag and drop ordering on the checkbox list and that works well.
A few code notes:
// ITEMS MODEL
public function faqs(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Faq');
}
// FAQ MODEL
public function items(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Item');
}
public function hasItem($item) {
$items = $this->items->lists('id');
return in_array($item, $items);
}
Schema of join table:
item_id
faq_id
order
timestamps
My issue is that they faq's don't load sorted by the order column on the pivot table.
I am using a very simple:
$faqs = \App\Faq::with('items')->get();
To retrieve the FAQ's and this works at getting all the faq's and if they are related, it checks the checkbox.
How can I order these by the order column on the join table?
Have a look at Eager Load Constraints and I think it will help provide a solution. From the docs:
Of course, eager loading Closures aren't limited to "constraints". You may also apply orders:
$users = User::with(['posts' => function($query) {
$query->orderBy('created_at', 'desc');
}])->get();
