Is ti posible to get value name from related table this way - php

Question

Ok so I need to get data from the table this way but I would like to get
Vehicle Maker name too
I tried using join or
just doing auth()->user()->vehicles->VehicleMaker but it doesn't work
Migration of Table Vehicle
Schema::create('vehicles', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->bigInteger('user_id');
$table->bigInteger('category_id');
$table->bigInteger('vehicle_maker_id');
$table->string('name');
$table->double('price', 8 , 2);
$table->year('manufacture_year');
$table->bigInteger('mileage');
$table->string('vehicle_image');
$table->boolean('admin_verification')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
Migration of vehicle_makers
Schema::create('vehicle_makers', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->timestamps();
});
Controller
public function show(){
$vehicles = auth()->user()->vehicles; -- what shoul i add here
return view('/home', [
'vehicles' => $vehicles
]);
}
Edit
I forget to mention that I already made a relationship and they work in artisan tinker when I try to do something like this:
Vehicles->find(1)->VehicleMaker
What I want is to do is
auth()->user()->vehicles and get vehicle teble with vahicle_maker name not id so some kind of join that would work in this case

Answer 1

Okay base on Laravel Model Relationship.
You first need to create a migration.
Vihicle Migration
Schema::create('vehicles', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id');
$table->unsignedBigInteger('category_id');
$table->unsignedBigInteger('vehicle_maker_id');
$table->string('name');
$table->double('price', 8 , 2);
$table->year('manufacture_year');
$table->bigInteger('mileage');
$table->string('vehicle_image');
$table->boolean('admin_verification')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
I used unisignedBigInteger to determine it is a foreign key or you can also use index().
In your model you should place what relation ship you will use. In your case I assumed you are using One To Many Relationship. So that your user model should look like this:
User Model
...
public function vehicles() {
return $this->hasMany(Vehicle::class);
}
So that you can use the convention auth()->user()->vehicles;.
Note: the auth()->user()->vehicles; return a array of object you can loop it in foreach.
Vehicle Model
public function user() {
return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}
In when you have this in your model you can use it 2 way.
In your controller you can call the relationship of those 2.
Controller
$vehicles = auth()->user()->vehicles;
dd($vehicles);
INFO
You can also refer to this tutorial.
EDIT
Controller
$vehicles = auth()->user()->vehicles();
foreach($vehicles as $vehicle) {
dd($vehicle->VehicleMaker);
}
Note: The $vehicles is returning an array of object. So you can loop it through foreach loop to throw a single instance.

Answer 2

There should be a relationship between the user and vehicles then another relationship between vehicles and vehicle_makers. If you already created your models(Vehicle, VehicleMaker) with their migrations, You can do the following
//add this to your User model.
public function vehicle(){
return this->belongsTo(App\Vehicle);
}
// add this to your Vehicle model
public function user(){
return this->hasMany(App\Vehicle); // implying that a user can have many vehicles
}
//add this to your vehicleMaker model
public function vehicle(){
return this->belongsTo(App\Vehicle);
}
When that is done, you can use Laravel's lazy loading to fetch relationships. You can do something like
$vehicles = auth()->user()->vehicle
return view('/home', [
'vehicles' => $vehicles
]);
