Laravel 4 Eloquent Two Pivot Table - laravel

Question

My tables
Modelos
id
nome slug
marca_id
Pecas
id
codigo
modelo_peca
modelo_id
peca_id
produtos
id
categoria_id
codigo
nome
categorias
id
nome
slug
I have these models
class Modelo extends Eloquent
{
public function pecas()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Peca');
}
}
class Peca extends Eloquent {
public function modelos()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Modelo');
}
public function produtos()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Produto');
}
}
class Produto extends Eloquent {
public function pecas()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Peca');
}
}
I´m trying to create a route that pass all the products related to a modelo to a view. What´s wrong?
Route::get('/modelo/{slug?}', function($slug = null) {
if ($slug) {
$id = Modelo::where('slug', $slug)->pluck('id');
$pecas = Modelo::find($id)->pecas;
$produtos = Peca::where('id', $pecas)->get();
}
return View::make('produto.home')->with('produtos', $produtos);

Answer 1

Use eager loading
Off the top of my head (also across the language barrier I'll do my best)
You seem to want all Products (produtos) for a specific page category other taxonomy (may be wrong but you can adjust the code as needed)
The where() method expects three parameters iirc so instead the first query would be $id = Modelo::where('slug', '=', $slug)->pluck('id');
The same would apply to the other where statements.
Full query:
if($slug)
{
$query = Modelo::with('pecas.produto')
->where('slug', '=', $slug)
->get();
$produtos = $query->produto;
}
return View::make('produto.home')->with('produtos', $produtos);
Here I've taken a different approach and eager loaded the relations, I'm not 100 percent sure this is how you want this to be done but it hopefully gives you a foundation for using your relations properly in Eloquent.
You don't need to manually get primary keys and perform multiple queries, check out the Eloquent documentation on the Laravel website.
