So I have a feedback model as a many to many polymorphic relation, for now I can say:
$user->feedbacks
and it will retrieve the relation accordingly, now I want to do something like:
$user->feedbacks->getAverage()
to simply spit the average feedback rating (which are numbers from 1 to 5)
I added the following function to my Feedback.php model file:
public function getAverage(){
$described = $this->avg('described');
$recommend = $this->avg('recommend');
$communication = $this->avg('communication');
$average = ($described + $recommend + $communication) / 3;
return $average;
}
But Laravel will not recognize this method.
Please help.
The method should be on the User model. If you look at the chain of objects, you are trying to call the getAverage method on a Collection class instance (that's what querying a Model for related Models will return for you). A collection doesn't have a method named getAverage().
To solve your problem, create the getAverage() method on the User model and inside of it, fetch the related Feedback model collection and compute the average based on the retrieved Models.
How to implement information and information_description tables in laravel Eloquent Model ? Some how it need to set language, because a title should be a one record.
$information = App\Information::find(1);
$information->title
tables structure
You can review how to do this, and plenty more, by reading the documents by Laravel. They are a great help and this particular question has an example and everything. Having said that, I'll help with getting you started.
Define a relationship in either model, information or information_description, or both. For brevity, I'll use information only.
Pass the foreign_key and local_key in the hasMany() relationship since it differs from Laravel's default behavior.
So we have a model that now looks like:
class Information extends Model
{
/**
* Get the descriptions for the Information model.
* Note the 2nd and 3rd arguments in the method
* which define foreign_key and local_key.
*/
public function description()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\InformationDescription', 'information_id', 'information_id');
}
}
Now that you have the relationship defined, you can perform your query.
// Get the description for the information
$information = App\Information::find(1)->description;
// Iterate over the results
foreach ($information as $description) {
$description->title;
}
The table naming convention used is a little odd, but if I understand it correctly, this will work. Hope it helps.
In my Room object I want to get an Picture with the lowest priority. So to my Room model i've added:
public function picture(){
Return Picture::where('room_id', $this->id)->orderBy('priority', 'asc')->first();
}
In my controller I call this method like:
public function($id){
$room = Room::findOrFail($id);
$room->picture();
}
But when i try to get it in my view like:
{{$room->picture}}
I get the following error:
Relationship method must return an object of type Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Relation
When using {{$room}} I dont see any picture object in the room object but the app doesnt crash.
If you want to be able to fetch the latest picture like that, you'll need to put relation definition in your pictures() method instead of fetching the object. This way you'll be able to make use of Eloquent's eager loading; fetching the picture with the lowest (in terms of value) priority will also be very easy.
Add the following to your Room class:
//relation definition - one to many
public function pictures() {
return $this->hasMany(Picture::class);
}
//Eloquent getter
public function getPictureAttribute() {
return $this->pictures()->orderBy('priority', 'asc')->first();
}
Now, you can easily access the most important picture on a $room object by doing:
$picture = $room->picture;
You can read more about how to set up different types of relations in your models here: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/eloquent-relationships
how can I choose which fields I want to get from the with ORM eloquent. For example
$tourTeams = Tournament::with('teams')->where('id', $tourId)->first();
From the teams relation I want only to get the name (without the id and timestamps).
I didn't it in the documentation. For the Tournament eloquent I can do it via the get function while passing it an array of fields names, like this: get(array('name', 'id')). But how do I do this on the Team eloquent?
Note: here is how Team related to Tournament, this code taken from the Tournament eloquent file:
public function teams()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Team', 'Tournament_Team');
}
You can get specific columns from the relation like this:
$tourTeams = Tournament::with(['teams'=>function($q){
$q->select('id','name');
}])->where('id', $tourId)->first();
I'm using Laravel and having a small problem with Eloquent ORM.. I can get this working simply with SQL query using a JOIN but I can't seem to get it working with Eloquent!
This is what I want, I have two tabels. one is 'Restaurants' and other is 'Restaurant_Facilities'.
The tables are simple.. and One-To-One relations. like there is a restaurant table with id, name, slug, etc and another table called restaurant_facilities with id, restaurant_id, wifi, parking, etc
Now what I want to do is.. load all restaurants which have wifi = 1 or wifi = 0..
How can i do that with Eloquent ? I have tried eager loading, pivot tables, with(), collections() and nothing seems to work!
The same problem I have for a Many-To-Many relation for cuisines!
I have the same restaurant table and a cuisine table and a restaurant_cuisine_connection table..
but how do I load all restaurants inside a specific cuisine using it's ID ?
This works.
Cuisine::find(6)->restaurants()->get();
but I wanna load this from Restaurant:: model not from cuisines.. because I have many conditions chained together.. its for a search and filtering / browse page.
Any ideas or ways ? I've been struggling with this for 3 days and still no answer.
Example Models :
class Restaurant extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'restaurants';
public function facilities() {
return $this->hasOne('Facilities');
}
}
class Facilities extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'restaurants_facilities';
public function restaurant() {
return $this->belongsTo('Restaurant');
}
}
PS :
This seems to be working.. but this is not Eloquent way right ?
Restaurant::leftJoin(
'cuisine_restaurant',
'cuisine_restaurant.restaurant_id',
'=', 'restaurants.id'
)
->where('cuisine_id', 16)
->get();
Also what is the best method to find a count of restaurants which have specific column value without another query ? like.. i have to find the total of restaurants which have parking = 1 and wifi = 1 ?
Please help on this.
Thank you.
I don't see anything wrong with doing the left join here, if you have to load from the Restaurant model. I might abstract it away to a method on my Restaurant model, like so:
class Restaurant extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'restaurants'; // will be default in latest L4 beta
public function facility()
{
return $this->hasOne('Facility');
}
// Or, better, make public, and inject instance to controller.
public static function withWifi()
{
return static::leftJoin(
'restaurant_facilities',
'restaurants.id', '=', 'restaurant_facilities.restaurant_id'
)->where('wifi', '=', 1);
}
}
And then, from your routes:
Route::get('/', function()
{
return Restaurant::withWifi()->get();
});
On the go - haven't tested that code, but I think it should work. You could instead use eager loading with a constraint, but that will only specify whether the facility object is null or not. It would still return all restaurants, unless you specify a where clause.
(P.S. I'd stick with the singular form of Facility. Notice how hasOne('Facilities') doesn't read correctly?)
I stumbled across this post while trying to improve my REST API methodology when building a new sharing paradigm. You want to use Eager Loading Constraints. Let's say you have an api route where your loading a shared item and it's collection of subitems such as this:
/api/shared/{share_id}/subitem/{subitem_id}
When hitting this route with a GET request, you want to load that specific subitem. Granted you could just load that model by that id, but what if we need to validate if the user has access to that shared item in the first place? One answer recommended loading the inversed relationship, but this could lead to a confusing and muddled controller very quickly. Using constraints on the eager load is a more 'eloquent' approach. So we'd load it like this:
$shared = Shared::where('id', $share_id)
->with([ 'subitems' => function($query) use ($subitem_id) {
$query->where('subitem_id', $subitem_id)
}]);
So where only want the subitem that has that id. Now we can check if it was found or not by doing something like this:
if ($shared->subitems->isEmpty())
Since subitems is a collection (array of subitems) we return the subitem[0] with this:
return $shared->subitems[0];
Use whereHas to filter by any relationship. It won't join the relation but it will filter the current model by a related property. Also look into local scopes to help with situations like this https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/eloquent#local-scopes
Your example would be:
Restaurant::whereHas('facilities', function($query) {
return $query->where('wifi', true);
})->get();
Restaurant::whereHas('cuisines', function($query) use ($cuisineId) {
return $query->where('id', $cuisineId);
})->get();
To achieve the same thing with local scopes:
class Restaurant extends Eloquent
{
// Relations here
public function scopeHasWifi($query)
{
return $query->whereHas('facilities', function($query) {
return $query->where('wifi', true);
});
}
public function scopeHasCuisine($query, $cuisineId)
{
return $query->whereHas('cuisines', function($query) use ($cuisineId) {
return $query->where('id', $cuisineId);
});
}
}
For local scopes you DO NOT want to define them as static methods on your model as this creates a new instance of the query builder and would prevent you from chaining the methods. Using a local scope will injects and returns the current instance of the query builder so you can chain as many scopes as you want like:
Restaurant::hasWifi()->hasCuisine(6)->get();
Local Scopes are defined with the prefix scope in the method name and called without scope in the method name as in the example abover.
Another solution starring whereHas() function:
$with_wifi = function ($query) {
$query->where('wifi', 1);
};
Facilities::whereHas('restaurant', $with_wifi)
Nice and tidy.
Do you absolutely have to load it from the Restaurant model? In order to solve the problem, I usually approach it inversely.
Facilities::with('restaurant')->where('wifi' ,'=', 0)->get();
This will get all the restaurant facilities that match your conditions, and eager load the restaurant.
You can chain more conditions and count the total like this..
Facilities::with('restaurant')
->where('wifi' ,'=', 1)
->where('parking','=', 1)
->count();
This will work with cuisine as well
Cuisine::with('restaurant')->where('id','=',1)->get();
This grabs the cuisine object with the id of 1 eager loaded with all the restaurants that have this cuisine
