Retrieve data from multiple tables using their relationships-Laravel - php

Question

I have a table I need to complete, for now, it has 3 columns DATE, SHIFT and STATION.
I only want the data that is attached to the logged-in user.
I have a pivot table where I can call the data from for DATE and SHIFT, but Stations is a separate table,
My pivot table is to display my many to many relationships between USER and SHIFTS called shift_user. this works,
the STATIONS table relationship is a one to many relationship with USER
as a User will belong to one station, but a station will have multiple users
Stations model
public function user()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\User');
}
}
User Model
public function station()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Station');
}
Controller for Project
$user = Auth::user();
return view('layouts/timesheet/index', ['user' => $user]);
}
Blade view to get info into tables
<table class="table table-sm table-success">
<tr>
<th scope="col">DATE/DAY</th>
<th scope="col">SHIFT</th>
<th scope="col">STATION</th>
</tr>
<tbody class="table-light">
#foreach ($user->Station as $station)
#endforeach
#foreach ($user->shifts as $shift)
<tr>
<td>{{ $shift->created_at }}</td>
<td>{{ $shift->Name }}</td>
<td>{{ $station->Name }}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
Here is a picture of the table I want to fill in. I want the Station name to display, but I just get this ID which I think is the user I.D
Please can you let me know what I can do to call the data from another table via the relationship?
Thank you for any help

Answer 1

Make sure you create a function that's same as when you call it on Blade View.
Station.php
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
User.php
public function stations()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Station');
}
Then on blade view, try this:
#foreach($user as $u)
<tr>
<td>{{ $u->shift->created_at }}</td>
<td>{{ $u->shift->Name }}</td>
<td>{{ $u->stations->name }}</td> // I assume the column in stations table is "name"
</tr>
#endforeach
