I have read a few topics about this, but they managed to solve my problem partially ...
this is my controller
class DeskController extends BaseController{
public function getDeskUsers($deskId){
$user = DeskUserList::where(function($query) use ($deskId){
$query->where('deskId', $deskId);
})->with('userName')->get(array('deskId'));
if (!$user->isEmpty())
return $user;
return 'fail';
}
this is the model
class DeskUserList extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'desk_user_lists';
public function userName(){
return $this->belongsTo('User', 'userId')->select(array('id','userName'));
}
}
the method getDeskUsers may returns ALL the DeskUserList table records, related with the User table record (on deskUserList.userId = User.id).
practically I want each record returned is composed of:
DeskUserList.deskId
User.userName
eg. [{"deskId":"1","user_name":antonio}]
What i get is
[{"deskId":"1","user_name":null}]
As you can see the user name is a null value...
BUT
if I edit my controller code:
->with('userName')->get(array('userId')); //using userId rather than deskId
then i get
[{"userId":"2","user_name":{"id":"2","userName":"antonio"}}]
By this way I still have two problem:
the userId field is twice repeated
I miss the deskId field (that I need...)
hope be clear, thanks for your time!
You need belongsToMany, no need for a model representing that pivot table.
I assume your models are Desk and User:
// Desk model
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('User', 'desk_user_list', 'deskId', 'userId');
}
// User model
public function desks()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Desk', 'desk_user_list', 'userId', 'deskId');
}
Then:
$desks = Desk::with('users')->get(); // collection of desks with related users
foreach ($desks as $desk)
{
$desk->users; // collection of users for particular desk
}
// or for single desk with id 5
$desk = Desk::with('users')->find(5);
$desk->users; // collection of users
$desk->users->first(); // single User model

I have a Users table and an Events table.
It's has one-to-many relationship.
Each user can create many event.
Each event belongs to one user.
Also, it has many-to-many relationship.
Each user can join as many event as they want.
Each event can be joined by many user.
This needs pivot table.
Now, I'm stuck.
This is event model.
public function user(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
public function users(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User')
->withTimestamps();
}
This is user model.
public function events(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Event');
}
public function events(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Event');
}
The problem is in the user model where I can't define multiple function with the same name.
So, is there a way to do this correctly?
Quick answer
Of course you can't have two functions with the same name. In your case, try to use more specific names for each function:
public function createdEvents()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Event');
}
public function joinedEvents()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Event');
}
Recommendation
You can use a single many-to-many relationship to manage both relations with Pivot information:
users table
id
username
...
events table
id
name
...
event_user table
user_id
event_id
is_creator (default FALSE, unsigned integer)
...
Then when creating an event, relate the user and event objects and set the is_creator field to TRUE.
So in your User model:
app/User.php
public function events()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Event')->withPivot('is_creator');
}
Then in your controller when you want to create an event:
app/Http/Controllers/SomeCoolController.php
public function store(CreateEventRequest $request)
{
// Get your event data
$data = $request->only(['your', 'event', 'fields']);
// create your object
$newEvent = Event::create($data);
// create the relationship with the additional pivot flag.
auth()->user()->events()->attach($newEvent, ['is_creator' => true]);
// the rest of your code.
}
And when a user want to 'join' an event:
app/Http/Controllers/SomeCoolController.php
public function join(JoinEventRequest $request)
{
// Get the event
$event = Event::find($request->event_id);
// relate the ev
auth()->user()->events()->attach($newEvent, ['is_creator' => false]);
// or just this, because its already set to false by default:
// auth()->user()->events()->attach($newEvent);
// the rest of your code.
}
It seems like it's many to many relationships between User and Event so there will be pivot name like user_event
user model
public function events() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Event')->using('App\UserEvent');
}

I am making a game and I have users which have facilities and for this I use ManyToMany
user_facilities
-user_id
-facility_id
But each relation must have a facility level, so I've added facility_levels table and each of this levels must be connected to the ManyToMany relation. So user_facilities now looks like this
user_facilities
-user_id
-facility_id
-level_id
level_id is the connections between the facility which the user owns and which level it is.
My question is how do I connect this in the models?
The User model now has this
public function facilities()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Facility', 'user_facilities');
}
And Facility
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'user_facilities');
}
So how do I get the level of the facility which the user owns?
In blade I hope there is a way I can use something like
{{ $user->facility->level->property }}
level is part of the user_facilities table not of facility
Therefore, you should be able to access the level_id from the many to many relationship of user and facility
One thing you can do is to access the immediate table (also called pivot table).
First, edit your relationship to include the extra attributes.
public function facilities()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Facility', 'user_facilities')
->withPivot('level_id');
}
public function users()
{ // if you omit this EDIT/UPDATE, you cannot do this:
// $facility->users()->first()->pivot->level_id;
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'user_facilities')
->withPivot('level_id');
}
Take note that when accessing a many to many relationship, Laravel will immediately assign a pivot attribute onto the result which contains details about the pivot table of the two models
Now try accessing the extra column:
$facility = $user->facilities->first();
$level_id = $facility->pivot->level_id;
// now you can use $level_id for finding the level.
$level = Level::find($level_id);
Now, since you can do that, you can also create a model for the many to many relationship of user and facility that will have that property of level_id
Let's create a new model called UserFacility that will extend Pivot.
This will be your Pivot model for many to many relationship of user and facilities.
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Pivot;
class UserFacility extends Pivot
{
}
Then update your users and facilities relationships as follows.
public function facilities()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Facility', 'user_facilities')
->using('App\UserFacility');
}
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'user_facilities')
->using('App\UserFacility');
}
Notice that using method.
$userfac = $users->facilities->pivot; // <-- pivot will now be an instance of App\UserFacility
echo $userfac->level_id;
Lastly,
If you don't want the pivot attribute name, you can change it using the as method, chain it after the belongsToMany method, like this:
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'user_facilities')
->as('UFac')
->using('App\UserFacility');
}
$userfac = $users->facilities->UFac; // <-- you can now access the pivot table using the property `UFac`
echo $userfac->level_id;
It may also be possible that your pivot table has a relationship with a level since it has a level_id. Don't worry, it's possible, just add this function in your UserFacility model.
public function level()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Level');
}
Now you can do this!
$user->facilities->first()->UFac->level; // <-- this will be an instance of App\Level

In restaurant table, foreign key do not get value of user table. I make relation one to many in user and restaurant tables. user can have many restaurants.
class Restaurant extends Model
{
protected $guarded=['user_id'];
protected $table ="rest_info";
public function menus() {
return $this->hasMany('App\Menu');
}
public function dishes(){
return $this->morphMany('App\Dish','dishable');
}
public function user(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\User','id','user_id');
}
}
If you wish to access these relationship with in your controller function you can use with keyword of laravel you have to something like this:-
If you wish to get the menus you can use something like this in your contoller Function
$getResturantdata = Resturant::with('menus')->get();
dd($getResturantdata);
If you wish to get the menus and users both you can use something like this in your contoller Function:-
$getResturantdata = Resturant::with('menus','users')->get();
dd($getResturantdata);
I have a model for user and annotations along with a pivot table user_like for storing annotations liked by user. The annotation table is also associated with another model (ranges) through hasMany relationship. I am trying to return all annotations along with its user, ranges and total number of likes.
The code below works for user, ranges and even likes. But, I am only interested in returning the count of likes and not the actual values (i.e. list of users liking the annotation). Is there a way to include just the counts for one of the models from the relations?
Eloquent query:
$annotations = Annotation::with('ranges')
->with('likes')
->with('author')
->where('document_id', $docid)->get()->toArray();
The model:
class Annotation extends Eloquent {
public function ranges()
{
return $this->hasMany('Range');
}
public function author()
{
return $this->belongsTo('User', 'user_id');
}
public function likes()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('User', 'annotation_like');
}
public function countOfLikes()
{
return $this->likes()->count();
}
}
If you want to retrieve count for multiple annotations using eager loading then you need the following 'helper' relation setup:
public function countLikesRelation()
{
return $this->belongsTo('User','annonation_like')->selectRaw('annotation_like, count(*) as count')->groupBy('annotation_like');
}
// then you can access it as such:
$annotations= Annotation::with('countLikesRelation')->get();
$annotations->first()->countLikesRelation->count;
// to make it easier, we create an accessor to the count attribute
public function getLikesCountAttribute()
{
return $this->countLikesRelation->count;
}
//And then, simply use
$annotations->first()->sectionsCount;
I have a posts and a users table.
In the posts table, i have a posts_author which is the ID of the user from the users table.
Is there an easy way to display the email address of the user, which is in the users table?
Cheers,
As long as you've set your relationships up it should just be a simple query.
http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#relationships
Look at the one to many relationships.
(1 User, Multiple posts)
Remember to set the inverse of the relationship up also
If your model has the right relationships then should be as simple as $post->author->email().
You must tweak the author relationship because Eloquent assumes the key will be named author_id.
// Post
public function author() {
return $this->belongsTo('Author', 'posts_author');
}
// Author
public function posts() {
return $this->hasMany('Post');
}
Remember to use eager loading in case you are retrieving emails from more than one post object, or you will end up with n+1 queries.
Providing that you've configured the relationships properly, it should be pretty easy.
Post Model:
class Post extends Eloquent
{
protected $table = 'posts';
public function author()
{
return $this->belongsTo('User', 'posts_author');
}
}
Then User Model:
class User extends Eloquent
{
protected $table = 'users';
public function posts()
{
return $this->hasMany('Post', 'posts_author');
}
}
Then when loading the post you can do the following.
$post = Post::with('author')->find($id);
This will tell Eloquent to join on the users table and load the user data at the same time. Now you can just access all of the user information like this:
$post->author->username;
$post->author->email;
$post->author->id;
// etc etc
Obviously this is just a skeleton, but the assumption is that you have the rest setup.
