Laravel Error: Trying to get property of non-object - laravel

Question

I am getting an error
Trying to get property of non-object (View: C:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\proj\resources\views\mycases.blade.php)
I have defined a relationship between two models Ccase and Hiring.
public function hirings()
{
return $this -> hasMany('App\Hiring', 'case_ID')->orderBy('id','desc');
}
and paginating the results using a method below
public function getHiringsPaginateAttribute($perPage)
{
return $this->hirings()->paginate($perPage);
}
The other model 'Hiring' has a method to define relationship with Ccase as follows:
public function ccase()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Ccase', 'id');
}
In my controller, I have following code:
if(isset($search_term))
{
$search_term = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', $search_term);
$search_term = trim($search_term);
if (strlen($search_term) > 0 && strlen(trim($search_term)) == 0)
$search_term = NULL;
$search_terms = explode(' ',$search_term);
$fields = array('id', 'title', 'case');
$hirings = $hirings->whereHas('ccase', function($q) use ($search_terms, $fields){
foreach ($search_terms as $term)
{
foreach ($fields as $field)
{
$q->orWhere($field, 'LIKE', '%'. $term .'%');
}
}
});
}
$hirings = $hirings->getHiringsPaginateAttribute($results_per_page);
In mycases.blade.php, my code is
{{$hiring->ccase->id}}
This line is throwing the above said error while the output of {{$hiring->ccase}} is:
{"id":1,"case":"HI this is a sample case i am putting just for test.","created_at":"2015-02-22 11:54:09","updated_at":"2015-02-22 11:54:09"}
What might be wrong with the code?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you can't use related models in views. Here's the detailed explanation why.
Your case can be solved by specifying the name of the associated column on the parent table:
return $this->belongsTo('App\Ccase', 'ccaseId', 'id');
In model Hiring, it will be like
public function ccase()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Ccase', 'case_ID', 'id');
}
And now in view use it like this:
{{ $hiring->ccase->id }}

Answer 2

Not sure, but i think that you could use relations in view, you should use an eager loading in controller where you are quering for $hirings, just add a:
with(['hirings.ccase'])
Could you please provide a peace of code from controller where you make a query to Hiring model for clear?
