Laravel 4 Query against other tables - laravel

Question

I have 4 tables:
partners
users
phones
addresses
The addresses, phones, and partners table each have a fk to the id of the users table to allow a user->owner object environment.
The phones and addresses tables each have a fk to the id in the partners table.
The partners table has a primaryPhone and a primaryAddress field that stores the id to their primary address and phone number.
I want to be able to query all the partners associated with a user and at the same time draw into the array the information pertaining to their primary phone and primary address to display in a grid.
Is there a way to do this in a single query?
partners controller (PartnersController.php)
public function index()
{
$partners = Partners::where('user_id', Auth::user()->id)->get();
return View::make('partners.showall')
->with('partners', $partners)
->with('title', 'partners')
->with('breadcrumb', 'View Partners');
}
Can I get the information for the $partner->primaryPhone into the partners array so that in the view I am able to do a foreach and display the data?
Partners model (Partners.php)
public function phone()
{
return $this->hasMany('Phone', 'partner_id')->where('user_id', Auth::user()->id);
}
public function primaryPhone($id)
{
return $this->has('Phone', 'id')->where('user_id', Auth::user()->id);
}

Answer 1

I believe you may be able to use eager loading to load in the related models that you want to show. Docs here: http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent#eager-loading
I think this should work, although haven't tested it myself.
$partners = Partners::with('primaryPhone')->where('user_id', Auth::user()->id)->get();

Answer 2

<?php
$partners = Partners::with('phones')->with('adresses')->where('user_id', Auth::user()->id)->get();
//Now you can loop through the partners
foreach($user->partners as $partner)
{
echo $partner->primaryAdress();
echo $partner->primaryPhone();
}
?>
