Foreach Loop Through Array for Datatables With Eloquent Relations - php

Question

I have 2 tables in my database - Bots and Results. The bots table is to have information on each specific bot alone. Each bot should have several results attached to it. I will simplify what I have in my columns:
Bots Table
Device | Info1 | Info2 | Info3
Results Table
Device | Data1 | Data2 | Data3
As you can see, each table has the column named Device. Now, I have 2 Models of course for each table - the regarding info is as follows:
Bot Model
public function results()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Result', 'device', 'device');
}
Result Model
public function bots()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Bot', 'device', 'device');
}
I have a view with a Datatable in it which I am trying to list every Device and Every Result corresponding to that Device. What I have here is an example of what was made before eloquent relations was brought in. I use to only have the Results table, so therefore it was farely simple to do a foreach and loop throught every result I had to display on the Datatabes
Datatables View
#foreach ($results as $result)
<tr>
<td>
{{ $result->device }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $result->info1 }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $result->info2 }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $result->info3 }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $result->data1 }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $result->data2 }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $result->data3 }}
</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
How can I get this to work now that the device name and information is actually stored in a separate table?

Answer 1

You can fetch your device information with its associated results using eager load like this
$bots = Bot::with('results')->get();
Now in view you can do it like this
#foreach ($bots as $bot)
<tr>
<td>
{{ $bot->device }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $bot->info1 }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $bot->info2 }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $bot->info3 }}
</td>
</tr>
#foreach ($bot->results as $result)
<tr>
<td>
{{ $result->data1 }}
</td>
<td>
{{ $result->data2 }}
</td>
<td colspan="2">
{{ $result->data3 }}
</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
#endforeach
