Laravel - Polymorphic relationship not working - php

Question

So I have the following code:
class PageSection extends Model {
protected $table = "PageSection";
const TYPE_CURATED = 0;
const TYPE_AUTOMATED = 1;
public function list() {
return $this->morphTo('list', 'entity_type', 'id_Entity');
}
}
then in AppServiceProvider.php I have the following:
use App\PageSection;
use App\PageSectionGroup;
use App\PageListEntry;
use App\RSSFeed;
use App\Shortcut;
use App\RSSEpisode;
use App\PageList;
use App\AutomatedList;
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
//
Relation::morphMap([
'Section' => PageSection::class,
'SectionGroup' => PageSectionGroup::class,
PageSection::TYPE_CURATED => PageList::class,
PageSection::TYPE_AUTOMATED => AutomatedList::class,
PageListEntry::TYPE_FEED => RSSFeed::class,
PageListEntry::TYPE_SHORTCUT => Shortcut::class,
PageListEntry::TYPE_EPISODE => RSSEpisode::class
]);
}
Then I have a test route in my api routes that checks to see if the list is being loaded, and it returns null: (Yes, I've verified that the section itself exists)
Route::get('/test', function() {
$section = PageSection::with(['list', 'type'])->find(1);
// this returns null
return $section->list;
});
My database schema for PageSection is such that entity_type tells what the model is, and id_Entity is the foreign key for that model, which is named 'id' on the referenced table.
The other relations defined in morphMap are working properly, yet for some reason the list() relationship in PageSection is not. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.. any help would be appreciated.

Ok, so I figured out what was going on. It's probably a bug with Laravel's morphMap. I was using 0 for the PageSection::TYPE_CURATED constant, which is a falsey value. When I switched to:
Relation::morphMap([
'PageList' => PageList::class,
'AutomatedList' => AutomatedList::class,
'Section' => PageSection::class,
'SectionGroup' => PageSectionGroup::class,
PageListEntry::TYPE_FEED => RSSFeed::class,
PageListEntry::TYPE_SHORTCUT => Shortcut::class,
PageListEntry::TYPE_EPISODE => RSSEpisode::class
]);
it all worked fine. Seems like Laravel doesn't like the value 0.
