Orders placed by a buyer are not showing to sellers Laravel - php

Question

I'm trying to get orders placed by buyers to be seen by the respective seller but it does not show anything.
I have tried for hours to solve this problem but I'm still stuck.
This is my model Order.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Order extends Model
{
//protected $table = 'orders';
protected $fillable = [
'user_id', 'shipping_email', 'shipping_name', 'shipping_city', 'shipping_phone', 'billing_subtotal', 'billing_total',
];
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
public function products()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Products_model')->withPivot('quantity');
}
public function orders(){
return $this->hasMany('App\OrderProduct', 'order_id');
}
}
This is my OrderProduct.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class OrderProduct extends Model
{
protected $table = 'order_product';
protected $fillable = ['order_id', 'product_id', 'quantity'];
public function products()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Products_model');
}
}
This is my User.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password', 'Seller'
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
public function products()
{
return $this->hasMany(Products_model::class);
}
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
public function orders()
{
$this->hasManyThrough(Order::class, Products_model::class, 'user_id', 'product_id');
}
}
And finally here is my viewOrder function in ProductController
//Orders View Function
public function viewOrders(User $user)
{
$products = Products_model::where('user_id', '=', $user->id)->get();
$orders = [];
foreach($products as $product){
array_merge($orders, $product->order);
}
//dd( $products);
return view('orders')->with(compact('orders'));
}
I need every seller(user) who listed the product to receive the order when another buyer(user) purchase. so far it shows
"Order ID Order Date Customer Name Customer City Customer Phone

On order model, You have a relation with a user, which means you have the buyers info.
But You don't have any relation for the seller.
So add a relation for the seller.
note: I assume that both buyer and seller are User
You must add a relation for a buyer and relation for a seller (don't forget to add them on database too. That means you need to add buyer_id and seller_id field on orders table).
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Order extends Model
{
//protected $table = 'orders';
protected $fillable = [
'buyer_id', 'seller_id', 'shipping_email', 'shipping_name', 'shipping_city', 'shipping_phone', 'billing_subtotal', 'billing_total',
];
public function products()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Products_model')->withPivot('quantity');
}
public function orders(){
return $this->hasMany('App\OrderProduct', 'order_id');
}
public function buyer()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'id', 'buyer_id');
}
public function seller()
{
return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'id', 'seller_id');
}
}
Add these two relations to the User model. so you can call them easily.
public function buys() {
$this->hasMany(Order::class, 'buyer_id', 'id');
}
public function sells() {
$this->hasMany(Order::class, 'seller_id', 'id');
}
//Orders View Function
public function viewOrders(User $user) {
$products = Products_model::where('user_id', '=', $user->id)->get();
// all sells
$sells = $user->sells;
// all buys
$buys = $user->buys;
}
In view, you can loop it like,
#foreach($sells as $sell)
{{ $sell->orders }} //for orders.
{{ $sell->products }} //for product
#foreach($sell->orders as $order)
{{ $order->product }} //single product
#endforeach
#endforeach
