Make Laravel Accessor return query results - php

Question

UPDATED:
I'm trying to add my own attribute with subquery results to the results of main query.
Now, I have Many-To-Many relation between three tables: Tournaments, Participants and Users.
Here is the defining of relation in Tournaments model:
public function users() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'Participants', 'Id_tourn', 'Id_user')->withPivot('Rating');
}
The structure of tables is:
Users:
-Id
-Name
Participants:
-Id
-Id_user
-Id_tournament
-Final
-Final_place
Tournaments:
-Id
-Name
I need to have extra Winners attribute in my final query result where I'll have info of first three places.
Following the documentation, I've created an accessor and tried different variants:
That just freeze the system. Nothing happenes and in 30 second I get timeout error.
public function getWinnersAttribute() {
return Tournaments::where("Id","=",$this->attributes['Id'])->where("Finals","=",1)->limit(3)->orderBy("Final_place","asc")->get();
}
This returns an error that "finals" column is not fount in Tournaments table, so $this doesn't have relation:
public function getWinnersAttribute()
{
return $this->where("Finals","=",1)->limit(3)->orderBy("final_place","asc")->get();
}
This returns blank white page without anything:
public function getWinnersAttribute()
{
return $this->with('users')->where("Finals","=",1)->limit(3)->orderBy("final_place","asc")->get();
}
This return "Winners" attribute empty:
public function getWinnersAttribute()
{
return $this->with("users")->where("Finals","=",1)->limit(3)->orderBy("final_place","asc");
}
I've created $appends variable to apply the accessor: protected $appends = ['Winners'];
However, I've checked the accessor, it works. If I return just:
public function getWinnersAttribute()
{
return "123";
}
it works fine and I get "123" inside "winners" attribute of main query result.
The main query is:
Tournaments::with(['users'])->get();
The Finals column is in pivot table of Many-To-Many relation.
UPDATED:
When I try to return query to that Model without relation:
public function getWinnersAttribute($value)
{
return $this->where("Finals",'=',2);
}
I get nothing in winners attribute as well. Like the subquery is not executed.
And if I add get() in the end of return:
return $this->where("Finals",'=',2)->get();
I get blank white page.
How can I solve that problem?
Thanks a lot.

If the getWinnersAttribute is on the Tournament model that means you already have a Tournament model you are calling by doing for example Tournament::find(1)->winners In your attribute you are trying too find the model again, and that could make it a forever loop trying to find a new one already having one etc. try using $this instead
public function getWinnersAttribute()
{
return $this->where("finals","=",1)->limit(3)->orderBy("final_place","asc")->get();
}
