Laravel Eloquent join throug pivot tables - php

Question

Unfortunately, I don't have that much experience with Eloquent yet. I try to create a query from three tables which have two pivot tables.
My tables:
My Models:
Player
class Player extends Model
{
protected $table = 'players';
protected $fillable = [
'name'
];
public function layout(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Layout', 'layout_player', 'player_id', 'layout_id');
}
public function information(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Information', 'player_id');
}
}
Layout
class Layout extends Model
{
protected $table = 'layouts';
protected $fillable = [
'name'
];
public function player(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Player', 'layout_player', 'layout_id', 'player_id');
}
public function item(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Item', 'item_layout', 'layout_id', 'item_id');
}
}
Item
class Item extends Model
{
protected $table = 'items';
protected $fillable = [
'name'
];
public function layout(){
//return $this->hasOne(Layout::class);
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Layout', 'item_layout', 'item_id', 'layout_id');
}
}
Starting from the player, I want to retrieve the current player, all layouts and the corresponding items. Unfortunately I can't do it.
I call up the player and layouts as follows:
Player::where('id',1)->with('layout')->get();
How do I additionally get all items in the query?

Answer 1

You made a relationship perfectly. Now from Player to layout you're getting it with('layout'). Try it.
$players = Player::with('layout.item')->where('id',1)->get();
It'll give you players along with layouts with items.

If I understand your question, I think you are almost there.
Add this to Player model too, like other methods you did.
public function contents(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Content');
}
To get all contents regarding a player write these in controller and pass it to view file.
$player = Player::findOrFail(1);
return view('path.to.file_name',compact('player'));
In view file
//get all contents of a player
#foreach($player->contents as $content)
<p>{{ $content->text}}</p>
#endforeach
//get all layouts of a player
#foreach($player->layout as $layout)
<p>{{ $layout->name}}</p>
#endforeach
//get all items of a player
#foreach($player->layout as $layout)
<p>{{ $layout->name}}</p>
#foreach($layout->item as $item)
<p>{{ $item->name }}</p>
#endforeach
#endforeach

Thank you very much for the quick answer. Unfortunately this does not solve my problem.
I call the PlayerController via the api route and need all objects of the player in the form as return:
player
layout
item
public function show($id)
{
$player = Player::findOrFail($id);
//$player = Player::where('id',$id)->with('layout')->get();
return $player;
}
I get this response:
{"id":1,"name":"Testplayer","created_at":"2019-09-22 15:53:07","updated_at":"2019-09-22 15:53:07"}
But I need also the layouts and Items.
I hope you still understand my bad English.;)
