Laravel get posts by category - laravel

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to get all the posts for a category using Laravel Eloquent 5.3.
I have three tables..
**Posts**
id | title | text
**Term_relationships**
term_id | post_id
**Terms**
id | name
Eloquent Models
class Term extends Model
{
public function posts()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Post', 'term_relationship');
}
}
class Post extends Model
{
public function terms()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Term', 'term_relationship');
}
}
class Term_relationship extends Model
{
}
I've tried with for example
Term::where('name', $category)->posts->get();

Answer 1

Easy,
if you want Posts with Terms do this
$data = App\Post::with('terms')->get();
in your view :
#foreach($data as $post) // will loop over posts and show title
<div>{{$post->title }} </div>
#foreach($post->terms as $term)
<div> {{ $term->title }} </div> // will loop and echo all terms for current post
#endforeach
#endforeach
if you want Terms with posts do this
$data = App\Term::with('posts')->where('name', $category)->get();
in your view
#foreach($data as $term) // will loop over terms and show title
<div>{{$term->title }} </div>
#foreach($term->posts as $post)
<div> {{ $post->title }} </div> // will loop and show all posts in each term
#endforeach
#endforeach
i think the seconds way suits your needs better since int he first example u will need to use wherehas and a closure
