Laravel related model attributes are empty? - php

Question

I'm trying to give ability on user to see his orders. I have created relationships but when i (dd) the result of the function, the related model attributes are empty.
I don't know what is wrong.
Here is my buyer function
//Buyer Orders
public function myOrders()
{
$user = User::find(auth()->user()->id);
$user = $user->products();
dd($user);// related model attributes shows empty
return view('myOrders')->with(compact('user'));
}
and here is my user
public function products()
{
return $this->hasMany(Products_model::class);
}
public function orders()
{
return $this->hasMany(Order::class);
}
public function allOrdersBuyerSeller()
{
return $this->hasMany(OrderProduct::class);
}
products_model
public function orders()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Order', 'order_product');
}
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
User Migration
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->string('password');
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Product Migration
public function up()
{
Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('pro_name');
$table->integer('pro_price');
$table->text('pro_info');
$table->integer('stock');
$table->integer('category_id');
$table->string('image')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
$table->bigInteger('seller_id')->unsigned()->index();
$table->foreign('seller_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
I would like to see the attributes of the table like price, name, info, img and etc.

Barring the comments about your code, the reason you're not seeing the result of your products query is that you're not passing a closure to the query.
$user = $user->products();
Currently, $user is a QueryBuilder instance. Until you use a closure, like first(), get(), paginate(), etc, you won't be able to see the rows. Modify your code to the following:
$products = $user->products;
// OR
$products = $user->products()->get();
If you omit the (), it will load the relationship using products()->get(), unless already loaded.
Edit: You likely need to include foreign keys to your relationships as the Model name won't match:
User.php
public function products(){
return $this->hasMany(Product_model::class, "seller_id", "id");
}
Probably best to review the contents of the documentation for Relationships; https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/eloquent-relationships. There's a lot of incorrect practices going on with your naming, querying, etc.
