I have 3 tables in a database
Transaction {'id','bill_id','remark'}
Bills {'id','third_party','amount'}
ThirdParty {'id','company_name',remark}
The 'transaction' table has column bill_id coming from 'Bills' and Bills table has 'third_party' column which connected to ThirdParty table column -> 'id'
So here I am trying to fetch company_name using laravel eloquent relation
My Transaction model:
public function Bills()
{
return $this->hasOne('App\Bills','id','bill_id');
}
Bills:
public function third_party()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\ThirdParty','third_party','id');
}
I am getting null value for company_name
Here is the query i am using
Transaction::with('Bills.third_party')->get();
And i have corrected in question (third_party_name) to company_name column name i wrote here was my old join query name which is visible in screenshot, basically i am trying to fetch company name.
Are you able to show all of your code? How does company_name get set to third_party_name?
You could probably also gain a lot by sticking to the laravel "conventions" or "suggested naming", this will give you a lot of functionality for free, and make your code easier to read, write and debug.
eg. Your relationship method names (Bills(), third_party()), but more importantly if you name your table fields in the "laravel way", you will get easier eloquent relationships as there will be no need to define the foreign keys etc.
I would be setting this up similar to:
Transaction {'id','bill_id','remark'}
Bills {'id','third_party_id','amount'} <- note the third_party_id
ThirdParty {'id','company_name',remark}
class Transaction extends Model
{
public function Bills()
{
return $this->hasOne('App\Bills');
}
}
class Bills extends Model
{
public function ThirdParty()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\ThirdParty);
}
}
You should also define the inverse relationships.
It would be very beneficial to see the full code to see where the issue is.

I'm currently struggling with retrieving data towards a parent model. I'll drop my database, classes, and things I've tried before.
I have 4 tables: sales_orders, products, work_orders, and product_sales_order (pivot table between sales_orders and products).
SalesOrder.php
class SalesOrder extends Model
{
public function products()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Product::class)
->using(ProductSalesOrder::class)
->withPivot(['qty', 'price']);
}
}
ProductSalesOrder.php
class ProductSalesOrder extends Pivot
{
public function work_orders()
{
return $this->hasMany(WorkOrder::class);
}
public function getSubTotalAttribute()
{
return $this->qty* $this->price;
}
}
WorkOrder.php
class WorkOrder extends Model
{
public function product_sales_order()
{
return $this->belongsTo(ProductSalesOrder::class);
}
public function sales_order()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(
ProductSalesOrder::class,
SalesOrder::class
);
}
}
So, what I want to retrieve sales order data from work order since both tables don't have direct relationship and have to go through pivot table and that is product sales order. I've tried hasOneThrough and hasManyThrough but it cast an error unknown column. I understand that error and not possible to use that eloquent function.
Is it possible to retrieve that sales order data using eloquent function from WorkOrder.php ?
You cannot achieve what you want using hasOneThrough as it goes from a table that has no ID related to the intermediate model.
In your example you are doing "the inverse" of hasOneThrough, as you are going from a model that has the ID of the intermediate model in itself, and the intermediate model has the ID of your final model. The documentation shows clearly that hasOneThrough is used exactly for the inverse.
So you still should be able to fix this, and use a normal relation as you have the sales_orders_id in your model SuratPerintahKerja, so you can use a normal relation like belongsTo to get just one SalesOrder and define it like this:
public function salesOrder()
{
return $this->belongsTo(SalesOrder::class, 'sale_orders_id');
}
If you want to get many SalesOrders (if that makes sense for your logic), then you should just run a simple query like:
public function salesOrders()
{
return $this->query()
->where('sale_orders_id', $this->sale_orders_id)
->get();
}
Have in mind that:
I have renamed your method from sales_order to salesOrder (follow camel case as that is the Laravel standard...).
I have renamed your method from sales_order to salesOrders for the second code as it will return more than 1, hence a collection, but the first one just works with one model at a time.
I see you use sale_orders_id, but it should be sales_order_id, have that in mind, because any relation will try to use sales_order_id instead of sale_orders_id, again, stick to the standards... (this is why the first code needs more parameters instead of just the model).
All pivot tables would still need to have id as primary and auto incremental, instead of having the id of each related model as primary... Because in SuratPerintahKerja you want to reference the pivot table ProdukSalesOrder but it has to use both produks_id (should have been produk_id singular) and sale_orders_id (should have been sales_order_id). So if you were able to use something like produk_sales_order_id, you could be able to have better references for relations.
You can see that I am using $this->query(), I am just doing this to only return a new query and not use anything it has as filters on itself. I you still want to use current filters (like where and stuff), remove ->query() and directly use the first where. If you also want to add ->where('produks_id', $this->produks_id) that is valid and doesn't matter the order. But if you do so, I am not sure if you would get just one result, so ->get() makes no sense, it should be ->first() and also the method's name should be salesOrder.
Sorry for this 6 tip/step, but super personal recommendation, always write code in English and do not write both languages at the same time like produks and sales orders, stick to one language, preferrably English as everyone will understand it out of the box. I had to translate some things so I can understand what is the purpose of each table.
If you have any questions or some of my code does not work, please tell me in the comments of this answer so I can help you work it out.
Edit:
After you have followed my steps and changed everything to English and modified the database, this is my new code:
First, edit ProductSalesOrder and add this method:
public function sales_order()
{
return $this->belongsTo(SalesOrder::class);
}
This will allow us to use relations of relations.
Then, have WorkOrder as my code:
public function sales_order()
{
return $this->query()->with('product_sales_order.sales_order')->first();
}
first should get you a ProductSalesOrder, but then you can access ->sales_order and that will be a model.
Remember that if any of this does not work, change all the names to camelCase instead of kebab_case.
I'm confused on how to get my model setup in laravel with a table that is connected to a pivot table.
Here's the problem
Say I have
Locations
id
name
area_types
id
name
area_type_location (Pivot table)
id
location_id
area_type_id
area_test
id
area_type_location_id
clean
headCount
Relationship between the tables are different areas type belongs to different locations.
i.e: beach, 25m pools, kids pools, bbq, etc
area_test is connected to the pivot table because the test has to be generated from area that exists, in this case it is area that is registered under different locations. Thus it has to be tested daily, measured, etc.
I understand the structure between area_types and locations for many to many relationship, however I can't get over my head of how do i structure my area_test model? How do I get the data from locations table -> where are my test?
Should I create a model for my pivot table? Is that a good practice in laravel?
Does anyone has the same use case?
I read about eloquent has many through
relationship but I understand that it does not mention about getting through pivot table. I don't quite get if my use case is the same.
Thanks
Finally, apparently there are a couple of way to get data from locations table to area_tests
Tried at tinker and it works,
First Option
I need to create a Pivot model for my Pivot table:
class LocationAreaType extends Pivot{
public function location(){
return $this->belongsTo(Location::class);
}
public function areaType(){
return $this->belongsTo(AreaType::class);
}
public function AreaTests(){
return $this->hasMany(AreaTest::class, 'area_type_location_id');
}
}
I can use hasManyThrough relation that I need to create in my Location table
public function areaTests()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(
AreaTest::class,
LocationAreaType::class,
'location_id',
'area_type_location_id');
}
this way I can get the areaTests easily by $location->areaTests, My problem was not determining the area_type_location_id as foreign. You need to determine this, apparently when I extends pivot and use hasMany laravel does not auto recognise the Foreign key by itself.
Second option
Another way to access it is from the relation table, I can define withPivot in the areaTypes() relation then access it like this:
$location->areaType[0]->pivot->areaTests
Since laravel only recognise foreign key from both tables location_id and area_type_id, I have to include the id of the pivot table to get the AreaTest table data
So in the Location model I have to get the column
public function areaTypes()
{
// Get the ID of the pivot table to get the poolTests table (connected with ID column)
return $this->belongsToMany(AreaType::class)
->using(AreaTypeLocation::class)
->withPivot('id');
}
There is no need to create a new model for pivot table.
Just declare in Location model below code:
/**
* #return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsToMany
*/
public function area_types()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\AreaType', 'area_type_location', 'location_id', 'area_type_id');
}
and declare below code in AreaType model:
/**
* #return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsToMany
*/
public function locations()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Location', 'area_type_location', 'area_type_id', 'location_id');
}
every time you need to get for example the locations of an area_type in every controller, you can call the function like this: $areatype->locations()->get();
Don't forget to create area_type_location table migration.
I have the following setup:
|locations|products|reps|
|id,name |id,name |id,name,phone,etc|
I have also created this pivot table (location_products_rep):
|location_id|products_id|rep_id|
Calling the code below returns the values in the pivot table
foreach ($reps->repNames as $rep)
{
echo $rep->pivot->rep_id;
echo $rep->pivot->product_id;
echo $rep->pivot->location_id;
}
Result: 1 1 1 , which is correct. But what I need is the product name, rep name and location name.
How would i get it to read: Result: Frank Bananas China
OR
Am I better off to make a model for the pivot tabel and pull relations through there like a normal model would?
UPDATE
I ended up just making a model for the pivot table and pulling relations on that using
RepFinderPivot::with('repNames', 'repProducts', 'repLocation')
My original question stands but this works for now.
It seems to me that extending the belongsToMany relationships on your models and chaining into ->using(RelatedModel) would be better for you in this case. You wouldn't have to deal with an intermediate table as a result.
class Use extends Pivot
{
/**
* The users that belong to the role.
*/
public function reps()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User')->using('App\Product');
}
}
Not sure if this would work or not since Product only has the rep_id.
I can't figure out how to make aliases for my table column names such that I can use Laravel's Eloquent belongsTo() functionality.
I have a groups table and and an activities table. The activities table references the groups table by organization_id rather than groups_id.
How do I write belongsTo in my Activity model as the following doesn't work.
public function group()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Group', 'organization_id');
}
What I'd like to write is:
App\Activity->group
In the code you have pasted laravel will think that the organization id is the column in your activities table which your are using as foreign key what you should do is :
public function group()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Group', 'organization_id', 'id');
}
in the above code you will get all results where activies.id = groups.organization_id;
UPDATE by Tim Peterson
My original code works. I migrated my DB for something else so that must have fixed everything.
Details
I have 3 tables :
catalog_downloads
export_frequencies
export_frequencies_catalog_downloads (Pivot Table)
Diagram
I am not sure if I set the relation between them correctly.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Here is what I did
In CatalogDownload.php
public function export_frequencies(){
return $this->belongsToMany('ExportFrequency','export_frequencies_catalog_downloads','export_frequency_id','catalog_download_id');
}
In ExportFrequency.php
public function catalog_downloads(){
return $this->belongsToMany('CatalogDownload','export_frequencies_catalog_downloads','export_frequency_id','catalog_download_id');
}
Questions
According to my diagram - Did I assign the relationship correctly ?
I hope I didn't mix up between hasMany and belongsTo
Will I need a class or a model for a Pivot Table ?
Thanks
Since export_frequencies is in the CatalogDownload model you have to invert the ID's because the parameters of belongsToMany are as follows:
1. Name of the referenced (target) Model (ExportFrequency)
2. Name of the Pivot table
3. Name of the id colum of the referencing (local) Model (CatalogDownload in this case)
4. Name of the id colum of the referenced (target) Model (ExportFrequency in this case)
what leads to this function:
public function export_frequencies(){
return $this->belongsToMany('ExportFrequency','export_frequencies_catalog_downloads','export_frequency_id','catalog_download_id');
}
The other function was correct.
If you had some data in your pivot table, for instance a colum with the name someCounter then you will have to tell the relation to load that column when creating the pivot object like this:
public function export_frequencies(){
return $this->belongsToMany('ExportFrequency','export_frequencies_catalog_downloads','export_frequency_id','catalog_download_id')->withPivot('someCounter');
}
That will load the column and make it avalible like this:
$catalogDownload->export_frequencies()->first()->pivot->someCounter;
You will need a separate Pivot Model if you need to do some special handling for the fields or if that pivot itself has a relation of its own but then you might consider using a full blown model instead of a pure Pivot Model.
As an added note to the accepted answer, you are able to set up your many to many relationships without referencing the pivot table and the relevant id's as long as you follow a specific convention.
You can name your pivot table using singular references to the related tables, like 'catalog_download_export_frequency'. Notice the alphabetic order of the singular references.
Then you can simply do:
// CatalogDownload Model
public function exportFrequencies()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('ExportFrequency');
}
// ExportFrequency Model
public function catalogDownloads()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('CatalogDownload');
}
This will then allow you to run queries using the query builder or Eloquent like:
$catalogDownload->exportFrequencies()->get(); // Get all export frequencies for a specific CatalogDownload.
Or
$this->catalogDownload->with('exportFrequencies')->find($id); // Using eager loading and dependency injection, when CatalogDownload is assigned to $this->catalogDownload
Hope this helps!
