I have 3 Models: User, Pet and Clinic.
Let's assume the tables: users, pets and clinics. The relation is, one user can have more than one pet, and one pet only have one clinic.
On the table "Pets" i have a FK to the user_id and another one to the clinic_id.
I want to do something like:
$user->clinics();
on the User model to return all the distinct clinics associated with the user. Now i can only do:
$user->pets()->with('clinics);
but i want to return only the distinct clinics.
User modal:
public function pets()
{
return $this->hasMany('Petable\Models\Pet', 'user_id', 'id');
}
Pet modal:
public function clinic()
{
return $this->belongsTo('Petable\Models\Clinic', 'clinic_id', 'id');
}
Any suggestion ?
The following should be sufficient:
public function clinics()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Petable\Models\Clinic', 'user_pets')->distinct();
}
And then this allows you to call
$user->clinics();

Hello I have two models User and Car and a pivot table user_car which has two columns user_id and car_id, the combination of the two columns is always unique. Any user can have many cars and one car is assigned to only one user
In the User model I have this
public function cars()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Car', 'user_car');
}
In the Car model I have this
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(
'App\User', 'user_car', 'car_id', 'user_id'
);
}
$user->cars
returns all the cars for the user as collection which is fine, but I want
$car->user
returns also collection which is only one user. I do not want collection, I want for example to get the user id like this
$car->user->id
Please use laravel default naming convention like alphabetically car_user so that you can follow along. Also it's not a many to many relationship as you've stated in your case it's a one to many relationship. A many to many relationship example something like an author can have many books published and a book can have many authors behind it so in a database table it would be like author_id and book_id in a table
Author_Id | book_id |
1 2
1 1
so in your case it would be like
class User {
public function cars()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Car');
}
}
make sure you have user_id field in your cars table
and in your Car
class Car{
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
}
so that you can query it up like
$user = User::first();
$user->car->car_name ;
or when you start w/ car
// to pluck the specific car
$car = Car::find(3);
$car->user->full_name or owner depends upon you
I have 3 tables users, companies and pivot table with user_id, company_id.
I can't get users, which belongs to my company inside User model.
Tried like
belongsToMany('App\User','companies_users','company_id','user_id' );
but I get relation with wrong users.
Since you are having a belongsToMany relationship between the User and Company, the User belongs to more than one Company. To get users of the companies of a particular User will not be straight forward. If you are sure that is exactly what you want, then do this:
//inside the User model
public function companies()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Company');
}
//inside the User model
public function companiesusers()
{
$users= new Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection;
foreach($this->companies as $company)
{
$users = $users->merge($company->users->get());
}
return $users->unique();
}
//inside the Company model
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('User');
}
Then you can get a user's companiesusers like so:
User::first()->companiesusers();
So im trying to figure out how to use pivot tables in Laravel. And I have tried to read and understand the documentation. And I cannot understand why a user just can't balongTo a "department". I don't want a user to belongToMany "departments".
Departments model
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(User::class, 'department_user', 'user_id', 'department_id');
}
And for the user model, I want something like
public function department()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Department::class);
}
But Laravel reports null. Because department_id doesn't exist in the users row? How can I reverse this pivot table lookup, with belongsToMany and belongsTo?
I think you're getting confused with your relationship types. If I understand you correctly:
A Department hasMany Users.
A User belongsTo a Department.
This one-to-many relationship type does not need a pivot table and can be written as such:
class Department extend Eloquent
{
public function users()
{
return $this->hasMany(User::class);
}
}
class User extend Eloquent
{
public function department()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Department::class);
}
}
This would require that the users table have a department_id foreign key.
I'm doing a project for one of my University courses. But I'm finding it difficult to make relationship between User to User model.
Table: users
id
name
email
type
password
On this table the column type is used for classifying user types.
For example: User can be either distributor or dealer type.
And a distributor may have many dealer
But a dealer may have only one distributor.
To implement this I've created another table and named as dealers_of_distributor.
Table: dealers_of_distributor
id
distributor_id (id of users table)
dealer_id (id of users table)
Although I've used an additional model DelaersOfDistributor, the exact relationship should be between user to user.
How can I make this relationship. I'm confused!
I've tried so far:
Model: User
public function dealersOfDistributor(){
$this->hasMany('App\DealersOfDistributor');
}
Model: DealersOfDistributor
public function user(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
The DistributorsController
public function index()
{
$distributors=User::where('type', 'distributor')->get();
$dealers=User::where('type', 'dealer')->get();
$assignedDealers=DealersOfDistributor::all();
return view('distributors.index')->withDistributors($distributors)->withDealers($dealers)->with('assignedDealers', $assignedDealers);
}
In blade file: I've tried $assignedDealer->dealer_id->user->name. But It's showing error.
Model DealersOfDistributor:
public function distributorUser()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User', 'distributor_id', 'id');
}
public function dealerUser()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User', 'dealer_id', 'id');
}
than you just get the user's data from DealersOfDistributor model, call function dealerUser if you want get user's data from dealer_id, and call function distributionUser if you want get user's data from distribution_id
Controller:
public function index()
{
$assignedDealers=DealersOfDistributor::all();
return view('distributors.index',compact('assignedDealers'));
}
Blade get username:
#foreach($assignedDealers as $assign)
{{$assign->distributorUser->name}}
{{$assign->dealerUser->name}}
#endforeach
I'm trying to implement a friendlist for a user
so a user can have many friends
but for calling the friends I'm having trouble getting my relation right:
user
id
friends
user_id
friend_user_id
Class user:
public function Friends(){
return $this->hasMany('App\User', 'friends');
}
So Auth::User()->Friends should return a list of User models
You actually don't have a "one to many" relationship but rather "many to many" with friends being your joining table
Try this:
public function Friends(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'friends', 'user_id', 'friend_user_id');
}
When creating a relation to the same model, you would do something like this:
Models/User.cs
public function Friends()
{
return $this->hasMany('User', 'user_friend_of', 'id'); // assuming user_friend_of is the FK on user-table
}
public function User()
{
return $this->belongsTo('User');
}
This would mean you have only 1 table, which has a foreign key to another row in the same table, for instance: (id - name - user_friend_of )
In your user class, define the function as follows:
public function Friends(){
return $this->hasMany('friends');
}
Calling $user->Friends()->get() should return you everything you need. Note that 'friends' should be the name of the table.
