I have a little problem, I have a table with Movies and another with Genres ex: Action, Adventure etc...
Table names:
movies
movie_genre
genres
I want to fetch all the Movies with the selected Genre ex: Action
$movies = Movie::with('genres')
->when($genre, function ($query) use ($genre) {
return $query->where('genres.id', $genre->id);
})
->paginate(20);
This php code doesn't work, how can I make it work?
PS: The genre is transfered from the view by $_GET['genre'] and stocked in the variable $genre.
Edit after the answer of #Shane and #Marcin Nabiałek :
The relationship is set in the models and when I use your code directly like this:
Movie::with('genres', 'countries', 'type')
->when($type, function ($query) use ($type) {
return $query->where('medias.type_id', $type->id);
})
->whereHas('genres', function ($query) use ($genre) {
return $query->where('genres.id', $genre->id);
})
->paginate(20);
it work perfectly, but with the when() function it dosn't. I have to use the when() to make the condition work only if there is a genre selected by the user.
You should use whereHas to get all movies that are assigned to given genre:
$movies = Movie::with('genres')
->when($genre, function ($query) use ($genre) {
$query->whereHas('genres', function($q) use ($genre) {
return $query->where('id', $genre->id);
});
})->paginate(20);
In case $genre is only id and not model, you should rather use:
return $query->where('id', $genre);
and in case it's an array (user is allowed to choose multiple genres), you should use:
return $query->whereIn('id', (array) $genre);
I'm not familiar with the when function. I use whereHas:
$movies = Movie::whereHas('genres', function ($query) use ($genre) {
$query->where('id', $genre->id);
})->with('genres')->get();
Also, is $genre the model or the ID? You mentioned it was received from $_GET which would mean it would be an ID probably.
I think a better solution would be to use your relationship function in the Genre model to get them:
$movies = Genre::find($genre_id)->movies;

so we have a page where we have to filter a list of students based on filters selected by the user in the front end.
Filters in the front end
Filter by Subjects (students who have opted for subjects)
Filter by location (students who are part of a location)
Filter by Gender (self explanatory)
Now Location & Gender are part of student table, so it is very easy to use these filters with simple query but subjects is a totally different table
Check the attached table
Query current we have
$student = Student::select('*')
->where(function ($query) use ($request) {
if (!empty($request->location)) {
$query->whereIn('location', $request->location);
} else if (!empty($request->gender)) {
$query->where('gender', $request->gender);
} else if (!empty($request->subjects)) {
// selecting students by id who enrolled for a particular subject
// end user can select multiple subjects
$query->whereIn('id', function($subjectQuery) use ($request) {
$subjectQuery->select('student_id')
->whereIn('subject_id', [$request->subjects])
->from('student_subjects')
->get();
});
})->get();
when passing {"subject": [201, 205]}
getting following error
Nested arrays may not be passed to whereIn method
But when passing {"subject": [201]}
This return empty result,
What are we doing wrong? or what we can do to improve this query?
In this case I usually use when() and whereHas() (assuming you have model StudentSubject and have the relationship). It will look like this:
$student = Student::select('*')
->when(!empty($request->location), function ($query) use($request) {
$query->whereIn('location', $request->location);
})
->when(!empty($request->gender), function ($query) use($request) {
$query->whereIn('gender', $request->gender);
})
->when(!empty($request->subjects), function ($query) use($request){
$query->whereHas('StudentSubject',function($sub) use($request) {
return $sub->whereIn('subject_id',$request->subjects);
});
})
->get();
I don't know your $request->subjects format so I assuming it's just the usual array like [1,2,3].
I am trying to write queries to filtering tables, but it's looks like something is not right.
$keyword = "chapel";
$city = $request->get("city");
$price = $request->get("price");
First checking the plans table empty or not. Then start to write filtering queries.
$datas = Place::whereHas("plans")
->groupBy("address","place_name")
->when($keyword, function($query, $keyword) {
return $query->where("place_name", "LIKE", "%$keyword%");
})
->when($city, function($query, $city) {
return $query->where("city", "LIKE", "%$city%");
})
The queries working till basic_info table. But when I when search $keyword in basic_info table then then error pops and says
Call to undefined relationship [basic_infos] on model > [App\Model\Place].
//basic info table
->when($keyword, function($query) use ($keyword){
$query->with(["basic_infos" => function($query, $keyword){
return $query->where("basic_info.wedding_style", "LIKE", "%$keyword%");
}]);
})
//plan table
->when($price, function($query) use ($price){
$query->with(["basic_infos" => function($query, $price){
return $query->where("plans.plan_price", "<=", $price);
}]);
})
->paginate(20);
return $datas;
But actually it's defined. Here is the models
Place Model
public function basicInfos()
{
return $this->hasMany("App\Model\BasicInfo");
}
BasicInfo Model
public function place()
{
return $this->belongsTo("App\Model\Place");
}
But in query inside ->when function, when I use ->with it seems, there is a problem happening. I guess, I am using it at wrong time or else... Same thing surely will happen to plan table's query too.. What is the right way to do it?
You have two problems:
You need to use your function name instead of table name for relationship.
If you want to use another params except $query, use use.
->when($keyword, function($query) use ($keyword){
$query->with(["basicInfos" => function($query) use ($keyword){
return $query->where("wedding_style", "LIKE", "%$keyword%");
}]);
})
i am trying to query many to many relation for my get api call. i have three table as shown here but i am not using pivot table.
This is my Projects model class and this the function
public function projectRewd()
{
return $this
->belongsToMany('App\Rewards','rewards','project_id','reward_id');
}
And this is my Rewards model class and function
public function projectShip()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Shipping_location','shipping_location','projects_id','rewards_id');
}
This is my api controller function
Route::get('projects/{id}', function($id) {
$proj = Projects::whereHas('projectRewd', function($q)
{
$q->where('id', $id);
});
return $proj;
});
i am using this link for api call
http://localhost:8000/api/projects/1
i want to extract rewards data and shipping_location data associate with project_id.
i am getting this error
"message": "Object of class Illuminate\\Database\\Eloquent\\Builder could not be converted to string"
i check and tried all related error from different post.
i also search and tried many technique. Cant solve my problem.
Please suggest me how to do this??
can i do this type of query in larvel without using pivot table??
You are getting Builder model because you forgot to add ->first() or ->get().
You should write:
$proj = Projects::whereHas('projectRewd', function($q){
$q->where('id', $id);
})->first();
Your closure-based controller returns your query-builder object. Not a project. You need to retrieve results from the query by fetching e.g. the first result (->first()) or all (->get()).
Route::get('projects/{id}', function($id) {
$proj = Projects::whereHas('projectRewd', function($q)
{
$q->where('id', $id);
})->first();
return $proj;
});
Referencing $id:
The reason why $id is unknown, is that the closure doesn't know about it.
You can pass it to the closure using use(...).
Route::get('projects/{id}', function($id) {
$proj = Projects::whereHas('projectRewd', function($q) use ($id)
{
...
Further:
Your whereHas query looks incorrect to me:
$q->where('id', $id);
Apparently $id is the project id. But the 'id' column in projectRewd is the primary key of projectRewd (unless you have modified the defaults).
I assume you want to query all projects that have at least one projectRewd:
Route::get('projects/{id}', function($id) {
$proj = Projects::has('projectRewd')->first();
return $proj;
});
And if you want to eager load the joined tables:
Route::get('projects/{id}', function($id) {
$proj = Projects::with('projectRewd. projectShips')->has('projectRewd')->first();
return $proj;
});
In Laravel we can setup relationships like so:
class User {
public function items()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Item');
}
}
Allowing us to to get all items in a pivot table for a user:
Auth::user()->items();
However what if I want to get the opposite of that. And get all items the user DOES NOT have yet. So NOT in the pivot table.
Is there a simple way to do this?
Looking at the source code of the class Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder, we have two methods in Laravel that does this: whereDoesntHave (opposite of whereHas) and doesntHave (opposite of has)
// SELECT * FROM users WHERE ((SELECT count(*) FROM roles WHERE user.role_id = roles.id AND id = 1) < 1) AND ...
User::whereDoesntHave('Role', function ($query) use($id) {
$query->whereId($id);
})
->get();
this works correctly for me!
For simple "Where not exists relationship", use this:
User::doesntHave('Role')->get();
Sorry, do not understand English. I used the google translator.
For simplicity and symmetry you could create a new method in the User model:
// User model
public function availableItems()
{
$ids = \DB::table('item_user')->where('user_id', '=', $this->id)->lists('user_id');
return \Item::whereNotIn('id', $ids)->get();
}
To use call:
Auth::user()->availableItems();
It's not that simple but usually the most efficient way is to use a subquery.
$items = Item::whereNotIn('id', function ($query) use ($user_id)
{
$query->select('item_id')
->table('item_user')
->where('user_id', '=', $user_id);
})
->get();
If this was something I did often I would add it as a scope method to the Item model.
class Item extends Eloquent {
public function scopeWhereNotRelatedToUser($query, $user_id)
{
$query->whereNotIn('id', function ($query) use ($user_id)
{
$query->select('item_id')
->table('item_user')
->where('user_id', '=', $user_id);
});
}
}
Then use that later like this.
$items = Item::whereNotRelatedToUser($user_id)->get();
How about left join?
Assuming the tables are users, items and item_user find all items not associated with the user 123:
DB::table('items')->leftJoin(
'item_user', function ($join) {
$join->on('items.id', '=', 'item_user.item_id')
->where('item_user.user_id', '=', 123);
})
->whereNull('item_user.item_id')
->get();
this should work for you
$someuser = Auth::user();
$someusers_items = $someuser->related()->lists('item_id');
$all_items = Item::all()->lists('id');
$someuser_doesnt_have_items = array_diff($all_items, $someusers_items);
Ended up writing a scope for this like so:
public function scopeAvail($query)
{
return $query->join('item_user', 'items.id', '<>', 'item_user.item_id')->where('item_user.user_id', Auth::user()->id);
}
And then call:
Items::avail()->get();
Works for now, but a bit messy. Would like to see something with a keyword like not:
Auth::user()->itemsNot();
Basically Eloquent is running the above query anyway, except with a = instead of a <>.
Maybe you can use:
DB::table('users')
->whereExists(function($query)
{
$query->select(DB::raw(1))
->from('orders')
->whereRaw('orders.user_id = users.id');
})
->get();
Source: http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/queries#advanced-wheres
This code brings the items that have no relationship with the user.
$items = $this->item->whereDoesntHave('users')->get();
I have a model called School and it has many Students .
Here is the code in my model:
public function students()
{
return $this->hasMany('Student');
}
I am getting all the students with this code in my controller:
$school = School::find($schoolId);
and in the view:
#foreach ($school->students as $student)
Now I want to order the Students by some field in the students table. How can I do that?
You have a few ways of achieving this:
// when eager loading
$school = School::with(['students' => function ($q) {
$q->orderBy('whateverField', 'asc/desc');
}])->find($schoolId);
// when lazy loading
$school = School::find($schoolId);
$school->load(['students' => function ($q) {
$q->orderBy('whateverField', 'asc/desc');
}]);
// or on the collection
$school = School::find($schoolId);
// asc
$school->students->sortBy('whateverProperty');
// desc
$school->students->sortByDesc('whateverProperty');
// or querying students directly
$students = Student::whereHas('school', function ($q) use ($schoolId) {
$q->where('id', $schoolId);
})->orderBy('whateverField')->get();
you can add orderBy to your relation, so the only thing you need to change is
public function students()
{
return $this->hasMany('Student');
}
to
public function students()
{
return $this->hasMany('Student')->orderBy('id', 'desc');
}
To answer the original question, the students dynamic property can also be accessed as a relationship method.
So you have this to fetch all students:
$students = $school->students;
Now as a relationship method, this is equivalent:
$students = $school->students()->get();
Given this, you can now add in some ordering:
$students = $school->students()->orderBy('students.last_name')->get();
Since eloquent will be performing a join, make sure to include the table name when referencing the column to order by.
You can also add this to your students method if you want to set a default order that $school->students will always return. Check out the documentation for hasMany() to see how this works.
For Many to one relation I found one answer on:
https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/eloquent/order-by-on-relationship
$order = 'desc';
$users = User::join('roles', 'users.role_id', '=', 'roles.id')
->orderBy('roles.label', $order)
->select('users.*')
->paginate(10);
this can save day... of anyone
You can use this like this:
$students = $school->students()->orderBy('id', 'desc');
You can also use
$students = $school->students()->orderBy('id', 'desc')->paginate(10);
