I am developing a Laravel 4 application with 4 database tables:
Therapist
TherapistType
Municipality
County
I'm using foreign keys to reference the data from other tables.
The relationships are the following:
A therapist can have one therapist type, municipality and county
A therapist type and municipality can belong to many therapists.
A municipality can have one county.
A county can belong to many municipalities and therapists.
I'm using Eloquent ORM.
This is the code I tried to use:
Therapist model:
public function therapistType() {
return $this->belongsTo('TherapistType');
}
public function municipality() {
return $this->hasOne('Municipality');
}
public function county() {
return $this->hasOne('County');
}
}
Municipality model:
public function county() {
return $this->hasOne('County');
}
In my controller I use the following code to fetch the therapists:
$therapists = Therapist::paginate(10);
return View::make('index', compact('therapists'));
And finally in my view this is how I'd like to get the corresponding therapist type for a therapist:
<span class="therapisttype">{{{ $therapist->therapistType }}}</span>
However I get no data.
What am I doing wrong?
$therapist->therapistType should be returning an object, but you are not echoing the property of said object. Let us just imagine that the therapistType table has a name property, then you should do
{{$therapist->therapistType->name}} if you want to echo that name.
I would begin by var_dumping the object, you can use $therapist->therapistType assuming that you have the relationships set up correctly, you should be able to see all it's properties.
Hope it helps.

In a project, let's say that we have Customers, and each customer can have one Voucher. The voucher, though, may be for a different thing for different customers - maybe for a Hote, a Car or a Flight.
We have a table of flight voucher codes, a table of hotel voucher codes and a table of car voucher codes.
When a customer is allocated a voucher, therefore, we allocated them the next code for the relevant thing that they're getting a voucher for. But rather than have multiple tables (customer_car_voucher, customer_hotel_voucher, and so on) I would rather have a Voucher table which is, in turn, linked to the relevant voucher type.
What I want to be able to do is just go $customer->voucher->code to get the relevant code, whether that be a flight, a hotel or a car. Other vouchers may be added at a later date, you see, for different things.
I think I can do this using morphable relationships - the voucher morphsTo car, hotel and flight, so within the the voucher table there is a "voucherable_type" and a "voucherable_id". But damned if I can get it to work.
Any help, please? Am I going about it wrong?
you arte right. and for a hint use:
public function customer()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Customer::class):
}
public function voucherable()
{
return $this->morphTo();
}
in voucher model.
and for each flight,car,hotel include:
public function voucher(){
return $this->morphOne(Voucher::class,'voucherable');
}
you can see Laravel morph relationship too for more help.
In Laravel's Eloquent ORM is used for morphable relationships.
First, create two Models AirVoucher and Voucher.
First, the AirVoucher model uses the following relationship.
public function voucher()
{
return $this->morphOne(Voucher::class, 'voucherable');
}
Second, the Voucher model uses the following relationship.
public function voucherable()
{
return $this->morphTo();
}
You can use the following Laravel official relationship document for more help.
Laravel Morph Relationships.
you must use laravel Polymorphic Relationships.
in Voucher model set this model as polymorph model(function name = modelname+"able"):
public function voucherable() \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphTo
{
return $this->morphTo();
}
then in Car model (or hotel/fight) set realation(function name= polymorph name):
if each car has one voucher, use morphOne:
public function files(): \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphOne
{
return $this->morphOne(Voucher::class, 'voucherable');
}
if each car has many voucher, use morphMany:
public function files(): \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphMany
{
return $this->morphMany(Voucher::class, 'voucherable');
}
Retrieving The Relationship
$car = Car::find(1);
$vocher = $car->voucher;

I have 3 DB table.
shows
show_genres
show_show_genre
In my show model, i have:
public function genres()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\ShowGenre');
}
So when i do:
$show=Show::find(1);
$show->genres give me collection with all genres that have show_id in shows_genres db.
I have also ShowGenre model where is all genres i have and i use.
Becouse i want to use sync for my genres, that names need to be in database.
But how can i find all shows that have genre id.
I couldn't find any way to get that list. Please help, thanks.
Edit:
You should do this other way around:
Have a model for Genre
your relationship method in Genre model should be
public function shows()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Show', 'shows_genres');
}
belongsToMany accepts two parameters, model and pivot table name if not a standard name.
Your solution:
//Get genre 'strict'
//where could be followed by column name example:whereSlug, whereName
$strictGenre = Genre::whereName('strict')->first();
if($strictGenre)
{
//get shows of this genre
$strictShows = $strictGenre->shows;
}
Read manytomany relationships:
https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/eloquent-relationships#many-to-many
You may use
$show->genres()
->wherePivot('column', value)
->get();
By default Pivot table name must be singular : show_genre (without
plural s)
See docs
Assuming you have this relationship in your genres model
public function shows()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Show', 'shows_genres', 'genre_id', 'show_id');
}
Then you can directly get all shows by genres id like this
$shows = Genre::find($id)->shows;
How can I able display the info from "set Penalties" Table when I do something like: $loanApplication->duration->setPenalties->penalty?
LoanApplication Model:
public function loanDuration()
{
return $this->hasOne('App\LoanDuration', 'id','loan_duration_id');
}
LoanDuration Model:
public function loanApplications()
{
return $this->hasMany(LoanApplication::class);
}
You are almost there. $loadApplication->loadDuration should already give you information from the loan_durations table.
In your LoanDuration Model you should add a new relationship method like this:
public function setPenalties(): BelongsTo
{
return $this->belongsTo(<Your penalty model>);
}
This will allow you to retrieve the penalties from a LoadDuration:
$loadDuration->setPenalties;
Or with the full example, the result will be a collection of setPenalties:
$loanApplication->loadDuration->setPenalties
It could be possible that you wont get any results from the setPenalties. This is because of the name of the related column name in the database. You could either change the name of the column duration_id to loan_duration_id or specify the duration_id in the $this->belongsTo(<Your penalty model>, 'duration_id')
I'm learning Laravel and Laravel eloquent at the moment and now I try to solve a problem using relations in Laravel.
This is what I want to archive:
The database holds many sport clubs. A sport club has a lot of teams. Each team has games. The teams table has a column named club_id. Now I want to create Eloquent relations to get all games of a club.
Here is what I got so far:
Club model
id => PRIMARY
public function games()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Games')->whereHas('homeTeam')->orWhereHas('guestTeam');
}
Game model
home_id => FOREIGN KEY of team ; guest_id => FOREIGN KEY of team
public function homeTeam()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Team','home_id')->where('club_id','=', $club_id);
}
public function guestTeam()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Team','guest_id')->where('club_id','=', $club_id);
}
Team model
id => PRIMARY ; club_id => FOREIGN
In my controller all I want to do is Club::findOrFail($id)->games()
Executing the code above returns a SQL error that the games table does not have a column named club_id.
What is the correct way to create this kind of relation?
Thanks!
EDIT
Thanks to Nikola Gavric I've found a way to get all Games - but only where club teams are the home or away team.
Here is the relation:
public function games()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough('App\Models\Game','App\Models\Team','club_id','home_id');
}
How is it possible to get the games where the home_id OR the guest_id matches a team of the club? The last parameter in this function does not allow an array.
There is method to retrieve a "distant relationship with an intermediary" and it is called Has Many Through.
There is also a concrete example on how to use it which includes Post, Country and User, but I think it will be sufficient to give you a hint on how to create games relationship inside of a Club model. Here is a link, but when you open it, search for hasManyThrough keyword and you will see an example.
P.S: With right keys naming you could achieve it with:
public function games()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough('App\Models\Games', 'App\Models\Teams');
}
EDIT #01
Since you have 2 types of teams, you can create 2 different relationships where each relationship will get you one of the type you need. Like this:
public function gamesAsHome()
{
return $this
->hasManyThrough('App\Models\Games', 'App\Models\Teams', 'club_id', 'home_id');
}
public function gamesAsGuests()
{
return $this
->hasManyThrough('App\Models\Games', 'App\Models\Teams', 'club_id', 'guest_id');
}
EDIT #02
Merging Relationships: To merge these 2 relationships, you can use merge() method on the Collection instance, what it will do is, it will append all the records from second collection into the first one.
$gamesHome = $model->gamesAsHome;
$gamesGuests = $model->gamesAsGuests;
$games = $gamesHome->merge($gamesGuests);
return $games->unique()->all();
Thanks to #HCK for pointing out that you might have duplicates after the merge and that unique() is required to get the unique games after the merge.
EDIT #03
sortBy also offers a callable instead of a attribute name in cases where Collection contains numerical indexing. You can sort your Collection like this:
$merged->sortBy(function($game, $key) {
return $game->created_at;
});
When you define that Club hasMany games you are indicating that game has a foreign key called club_id pointing to Club. belongsTo is the same but in the other way. These need to be coherent with what you have on your database, that means that you need to have defined those keys as foreign keys on your tables.
Try this...
Club model
public function games()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Games');
}
Game model
public function homeTeam()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Team','home_id');
}
public function guestTeam()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Team','guest_id');
}
Your Query like
Club::where('id',$id)->has('games.guestTeam')->get();
I have four tables in database: groups, specialties, lessons, group_lesson. It's structures:
groups
id
specialty_id
name
specialties
id
name
lessons
id
specialty_id
group_lesson (UNIQUE INDEX lesson_id, group_id)
lesson_id
group_id
date
My models look like that for now:
class Group extends Eloquent {
public function specialty() {
return $this->belongsTo('Specialty');
}
}
class Lesson extends Eloquent {
public function specialty() {
return $this->belongsTo('Specialty');
}
}
class Specialty extends Eloquent {
public function lessons() {
return $this->hasMany('Lesson');
}
public function groups() {
return $this->hasMany('Group');
}
}
I need get additional fields in Group model look like that
Group - Eloquent model
name - string
lessons - collection of Lesson models of Group Specialty
date - date from group_lesson table
I've tried different relationships and combinations, but it's doesn't work. Please help me to write correct relationships.
You can use eager-loading to access relational data through relationships, and can even chain relationships further. As a rule of thumb, if you can draw a path to from 1 model to another through a relationship, you can eagerload all the relevant and relational data for that with chained eager-loads.
Laravel Eager Loading
As an example
$speciality_group = Speciality::with('group','lessons')->find($id);
Even though you are only getting a single instance of the speciality model, the related data is hasMany, meaning multiple records. You need to loop through these records using a foreach loop to access the relevant data for them, or alternitavely add additional closures in your initial query to load only a single related model.
foreach($speciality_group->group as $group)
{
echo $group->name;
}
You will need to do this for both instances where you want to display related information.
