I have a Laravel 9 forum project and for the Question Model, I added this:
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
And for User Model, I added this:
public function questions()
{
return $this->hasMany(Question::class);
}
Basically, every question has a field named creator_id and I want to connect the relationship between these two Models based on this field.
So how can I do that?
This part of the documentation shows you how to set those relationships. It suggest doing the following:
Question model
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'creator_id');
}
User model
public function questions()
{
return $this->hasMany(Question::class, 'creator_id');
}

I have 2 models: one for users and one for clients. A user is a customer
User has a 'codigocli' field and client has a 'codigo' field
The relationships between my models are like this:
//User model
public function cliente()
{
return $this->hasOne(Cliente::class, 'codigo', 'codigocli');
}
//Cliente model
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'codigocli', 'codigo');
}
My database is fine (I think) client has the 'codigo' field and users has the 'codigocli' field. So what am I doing wrong? When I want to query my home.blade.php with dd(auth()->user()-cliente()) I don't get anything, although it shows me the parent object fine.

You have an OneToOne relationship here so try this if you don't change id name:
//User model
public function cliente()
{
return $this->hasOne(Cliente::class, 'codigocli');
}
//Cliente model
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'codigocli');
}
if you change id name:
//User model
public function cliente()
{
return $this->hasOne(Cliente::class, 'codigocli','local_id_name' );
}
//Cliente model
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'codigocli', 'local_id_name');
}
I'm currently working on a laravel project, but I'm kind of stuck finding the right eloquent relations.
My tables and the connections (should) look like this:
Project Relations
My model relations look like this:
User
public function team()
{
return $this->hasMany(Team::class, 'user_id');
}
public function evaluation()
{
return $this->hasMany(Evaluation::class, 'user_id');
}
Team
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
public function survey()
{
return $this->hasMany(Survey::class, 'team_id');
}
Evaluation
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
public function survey()
{
return $this->hasMany(Survey::class, 'evaluation_id');
}
Survey
public function team()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Team::class);
}
public function evaluation()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Evaluation::class);
}
public function surveyresponse()
{
return $this->hasMany(SurveyResponse::class, 'survey_id');
}
SurveyResponse
public function survey()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Survey::class);
}
public function testquestion()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\TestQuestion');
}
Is this the way to go? Do I need a "Has Many Through" relation here? Or a "Polymorphic Relationship"?
Seems correct to me, i just didnt see the TesteQuestion model (your last relation).
Answering your question:
The HasManyThrough relation is just a shortcut for accessing distant relations via an intermediate relation, in your case: Users has many evaluations that has many surveys. With this relationship you could get all surveys from a user.
Your relation would look like this:
/**
* Get all of the surveys for the user.
*/
public function surveys()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough('App\Survey', 'App\Evaluation');
}
You can access this relation like this:
$user->surveys();
But you can achieve the same (without using the HasManyThrough) by doing:
$user->evaluations()->surveys();
Beware that this will return the evaluations too, not just the surveys and it requires more processing.
So i recommend you doing the HasManyThrough relationship if you pretend to access the surveys a lot.
Am still new to laravel
I have the following tables
user
id
first_name
last_name
educations
id,
user_id //references user id
type
Now in my user model i would like to get a specific users educations which can be many
so a user can have many educations but each education belongs to a single user.
So in my user model i have
public function education()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\ApplicantEducation','id','user_id');
}
In my Education model i have
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User','user_id','id');
}
But the above fails, I cannot retrieve user specific educations
Where am i going wrong?
try this:
in User Model:
public function educations()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\ApplicantEducation', 'user_id');
}
in Education Model:
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User', 'user_id');
}
Change return $this->hasMany('App\ApplicantEducation','id','user_id');
to return $this->hasMany('App\ApplicantEducation','user_id', 'id'); you also ommit the id and user_id.
As your foreign_key is well formed, you can also rwite this simple code,
class User{
public function education()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\ApplicantEducation');
}
}
Class Educations{
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
}
Here,
$this->hasMany('App\ApplicantEducation','id','user_id');
In above statement first argument should be Model second should be foreign key and the third one is any other key from Education model.
Here, second and third arguments are not mandatory.
In User Model
class User...{
public function education()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\ApplicantEducation');
}
In Education Model
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
Here, additional parameters are not mandatory might be your addition parameters creates issue,
and now you can retrieve your user with Education by
$user = User::with('education')->get();
This can retrieve all the users with their education.
I hope it helps,Thank you, Happy coding.
You should try this:
Education Model
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User','user_id);
}
User Model
public function education()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\ApplicantEducation');
}
How can I return one value from a belongsToMany relation.
This is my relation:
public function role() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Role');
}
Now when I want to access the Role Name I have to do the folowing:
Auth::user()->role[0]->name
But I just want to do
Auth::user()->role
But now my question is: "How can I do that?"
to do this you need add custom attribute to user model as the following:
User Model:
protected $appends = ['role']; // add new attribute to user model
public function getRoleAttribute()
{
return $this->roles->first(); // don't use roles() it would execute every time
}
public function roles() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Role');
}
now you can use
Auth::user()->role
Auth::user()->role()->first()
Besides the question itself, i suggest you to use the plural name for belogsToMany relations: it is a common best practice and makes the code much more expressive.
public function roles() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Role');
}
Auth::user()->roles()->first()
I am trying to develop a blog using Laravel 5 in which i have to show comment along with user on post.
Here is my database table schema.
User
id
name
Posts
id
post_content
user_id
Comments
id
comment
user_id
post_id
Here is my User Model
public function posts()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Posts');
}
public function comments(){
return $this->hasManyThrough('App\Models\Comments','App\Models\Posts');
}
Here is my Posts Model
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\User');
}
public function comments(){
return $this->hasMany('Ap\Models\Comments');
}
Here is my Comment Model
public function posts()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\Posts');
}
public function user(){
return $this->posts->name;
}
Here is my code how i am accessing user name
$comments = Comments::find(1);
$comment['comment'] = $comments->comment;
$comment['user_name'] = $comments->name;
$comment['post_id'] = $comments->posts->id;
may be i am not getting in right direction? if i am doing right then why it is not working.
In laravel 5 you do not call the model as you are doing. since the models are stored in the app folder just call like. Plus I think you need to define the relationship
class User extends Model {
public function phone()
{
return $this->hasOne('App\Phone');
}
}
class Phone extends Model {
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
}
$phone = Phone::find(1);
For the case of foreign keys and more regarding the Eloquent relationships in laravel 5 just follow the documentation on the laravel website. Make sure to look at dynamic properties of that are allowed by eloquent
