Extracting relational data in laravel - php

Question

I'm trying to build a small application in laravel 5.4 where I'm having a contacts table, companies table, interactions table and users table each with their respective models. An Interaction is being created by the User where there are client_contact, contact, user participating. Each client_contact and contact shares the same model and belongs to a company which have type in their column for example Investor, Research, Corporate etc. Now I'm trying to generate a report where interaction done by a user with Investors. First of all let me show you my models:
User Model:
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, Notifiable, SoftDeletes;
public function interactions()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Interaction');
}
public function clients()
{
//Each user has been assigned a particular client
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Company', 'company_user', 'user_id', 'company_id');
}
}
Contacts Model:
class Contact extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes, DataViewer;
public function company()
{
return $this
->belongsToMany('App\Company', 'company_contact','contact_id', 'company_id')->withTimestamps();
}
public function interactions()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Interaction', 'contact_interaction','contact_id', 'interaction_id');
}
public function clientInteractions()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Interaction', 'contact_client_interaction','contact_id', 'interaction_id');
}
}
Company Model:
class Company extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes, DataViewer;
public function contacts()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Contact', 'company_contact', 'company_id','contact_id');
}
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User', 'company_user', 'company_id', 'user_id')->withTimestamps();
}
}
Interaction Model:
class Interaction extends Model
{
use SoftDeletes;
public function stellarParticipants()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\User')->withTimestamps();
}
public function clientsAssociation()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Contact', 'contact_client_interaction', 'interaction_id', 'contact_id')->withPivot('company_id')->withTimestamps();
}
public function contactsAssociation()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Contact', 'contact_interaction', 'interaction_id', 'contact_id')->withPivot('company_id')->withTimestamps();
}
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
}
Now in my ReportController: I'm doing something like this:
public function getAnalystInvestor(Request $request)
{
$user = User::find($request->id);
$interactions = Interaction::whereHas('contactsAssociation', function ($query3) {
$query3->whereHas('company', function ($query4) {
$query4->where('type', 'like', '%'.'Investor'.'%');
});
})->whereHas('user', function ($query1) use($user) {
$query1->where('name', '=', $user->name);
})->orWhereHas('stellarParticipants', function ($query2) use($user) {
$query2->where('name', '=', $user->name);
})
->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')
->take(50)
->with(['contactsAssociation', 'clientsAssociation', 'stellarParticipants'])
->get();
return response()->json(['interactions' => $interactions], 200);
}
But I'm unable to get the desired results, still some of the data are displaying which is not investors. I also tried:
$interactions = Interaction::whereHas('user', function ($query1) use($user) {
$query1->where('name', '=', $user->name);
})->orWhereHas('stellarParticipants', function ($query2) use($user) {
$query2->where('name', '=', $user->name);
})->whereHas('contactsAssociation', function ($query3) {
$query3->whereHas('company', function ($query4) {
$query4->where('type', 'like', '%'.'Investor'.'%');
});
})
Where user filters are assigned first but its not displaying as desired. Help me out with this.

You should be able to chain your query, similar to this:
$cfs = \App\Service::with('items', 'required_services', 'supported_services')
->where(function ($query) {
$query->where('stm', 11)
->orWhere('stm', 17)
->orWhere('stm', 31);
})
->where('lifecycle_id', '!=', 12)
->where('type', 'Customer Facing')
->orderBy('service_full_name')
->get();
I don't really understand the report you are developing, but hopefully this helps you.
