Get the collection instead of the ID - php

Question

I have a many-to-many relationship between three tables (Courses , Professors , Hours) I created a 4th table called course_hour_professors to make the relation and I made it one-to-many relationship between the 4 tables because I know that if I get a pivot table with more than two FKs, I have to treat it as full model. So instead of Many-to-Many relationship. I have to divide it into multiple of One-to-Many relationships. all of this is working now but Professors table is related to User table and I need to access the professor name which is located in the User table since it's related to it but I can only access the User_id from my course_hour_professors as shown below :
{
"id": 3,
"professor_id": 94,
"course_id": 132,
"hour_id": 1,
"nbr_hour_course": 9,
"course": {
"id": 132,
"created_at": "2018-07-25T16:02:19.000000Z",
"updated_at": "2018-09-07T07:38:01.000000Z",
"name": "Algèbre - 1"
},
"professor": {
"id": 94,
"created_at": "2018-09-24T08:18:30.000000Z",
"updated_at": "2019-10-23T14:32:00.000000Z",
"user_id": 810,
"grade": "Maître assistant",
"cin_delivered_at": "le 20/05/2015",
"cnrps": "********",
"cnss": "00000000",
"phone": "********"
},
"hour": {
"id": 1,
"heure_suivie": 13,
"type": "jour",
"created_at": "2021-08-19T20:02:16.000000Z",
"updated_at": "2021-08-05T20:02:16.000000Z",
"week_id": 1
}
}
Professor Model :
class professor extends Model
{
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo("App\User",'user_id','id');
}
public function courses()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\course');
}
public function hours()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Hour');
}
public function courseHourProfessor()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\CourseHourProfessor', 'professor_id','id');
}
}
CourseHourProfessor Model :
class CourseHourProfessor extends Model
{
public function professor()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\professor', 'professor_id');
}
public function course()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\course', 'course_id');
}
public function hour()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Hour', 'hour_id');
}
}
Course Model
class Course extends Model
{
public function professor()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\professor');
}
public function hours()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Hour');
}
public function courseHourProfessor()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\CourseHourProfessor', 'course_id','id');
}
}
Hour Model :
class Hour extends Model
{
//
public function week()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Week::class);
}
public function courses()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\course');
}
public function professors()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\professor');
}
public function courseHourProfessor()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\CourseHourProfessor', 'hour_id','id');
}
}
CourseHourProfessor Controller :
public function getById($id)
{
return CourseHourProfessor::with(['course','professor','hour'])->where('id', $id)->get();
}
I want to know if it's possible for the result to be like this
{
"id": 3,
"professor_id": 94,
"course_id": 132,
"hour_id": 1,
"nbr_hour_course": 9,
"course": {
"id": 132,
"created_at": "2018-07-25T16:02:19.000000Z",
"updated_at": "2018-09-07T07:38:01.000000Z",
"name": "Algèbre - 1"
},
"professor": {
"id": 94,
"created_at": "2018-09-24T08:18:30.000000Z",
"updated_at": "2019-10-23T14:32:00.000000Z",
"user_id": 810,
"grade": "Maître assistant",

"cnrps": "********",
"cnss": "00000000",

"birthday": "2018-01-01",
"gender": "Male",
"image_id": 34,
"cin": "********",
"fullname": "********Aymen"
}
},
"hour": {
"id": 1,
"heure_suivie": 13,
"type": "jour",
"created_at": "2021-08-19T20:02:16.000000Z",

"week_id": 1
}
}

Answer 1

yes, what you want is a json :)
public function getById($id)
{
return CourseHourProfessor::with(['course','professor','hour'])->find($id)->toJson();
}
