BelongsTo relationship in laravel - php

Question

I am trying to have a one to many relationship, each Customer can be assigned to multiple entries, here are my migration tables
customers table:
Schema::create('customers', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('idtype');
$table->string('idnumber');
$table->string('company');
$table->timestamps();
and here is my assignee table:
Schema::create('assignees', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('cabinet');
$table->time('timein');
$table->time('timeout');
$table->string('refnumber');
$table->timestamps();
$table->integer('customer_id')->unsigned()->index()->nullable();
here is my assignee controller where the belongs to function:
class Assignee extends Model
{
//
protected $fillable = [
'cabinet', 'customer_id','timein','timeout','refnumber',
];
public function cust()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Customer');
}
}
and here is my index.blade.php
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tr>
<th>No</th>
<th>Entry id:</th>
<th>Person Name</th>
<th>Referance No:</th>
<th>timein</th>
<th>timeout</th>
<th width="280px">Action</th>
</tr>
#foreach ($assignees as $assignee)
<tr>
<td>{{ ++$i }}</td>
<td>{{ $assignee->id }}</td>
<td>{{$assignee->customer-name}}</td>
<td>{{ $assignee->refnumber }}</td>
<td>{{ $assignee->timein }}</td>
<td>{{ $assignee->timeout }}</td>
when running the page I am getting the following error:
Use of undefined constant name - assumed 'name' (View: /Users/user/Documents/Laravel/blog/resources/views/assignees/index.blade.php)
When creating the "Assignee, laravel is not enforcing the relation checks,
what am I doing wrong? should i declare the relationship in the migration folder or having it in the Model is enough?

Answer 1

There are two issues in your code.
There is a syntax error in this line. Which throws the mentioned issue.
<td>{{$assignee->customer-name}}</td>
It should be
<td>{{$assignee->customer->name}}</td>
But, You named your relationship as cust not customer. So you need to fix that as well.
<td>{{$assignee->cust->name}}</td>
This should fix your code.

Answer 2

Your problem is here <td>{{$assignee->customer-name}}</td>
it should be <td>{{$assignee->cust->name}}</td> and you missed this -> so it assumed that name is a constatnt.

Answer 3

You should try this;
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tr>
<th>No</th>
<th>Entry id:</th>
<th>Person Name</th>
<th>Referance No:</th>
<th>timein</th>
<th>timeout</th>
<th width="280px">Action</th>
</tr>
#foreach ($assignees as $assignee)
<tr>
<td>{{ ++$i }}</td>
<td>{{ $assignee->id }}</td>
<td>{{$assignee->customer->name}}</td>
<td>{{ $assignee->refnumber }}</td>
<td>{{ $assignee->timein }}</td>
<td>{{ $assignee->timeout }}</td>
