laravel eloquent for hasMany relation does not work - php

Question

I have these relations in my database
Schema::create('my_users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->timestamps();
$table->string('fullName');
$table->string('userName');
$table->string('password');
$table->string('photo');
$table->string('email');
});
and
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->timestamps();
$table->string('photo');
$table->text('caption');
$table->integer('like');
$table->integer('my_user_id');
});
my models :
class myUser extends Model
{
public function post()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\post');
}
}
class post extends Model
{
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\myUser');
}
}
now I'm trying to get a user's data using the following code :
$post = post::find(1);
$user = $post->user;
but it doesn't work and $user is NULL.
I'm sure that in posts table there is a record with id 1.
the weird part is this that I get no error when I change the method's name like this :
$post = post::find(1);
$user = $post->somethingBullshit;
I'm using laravel 5.3.
help please.

Answer 1

Confirm that you are naming your class files starting with upper case letters, and modify your class declarations accordingly, such as:
class MyUser extends Model
{
public function post()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Post');
}
}
class Post extends Model
{
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\MyUser');
}
}
You can then select the user when you obtain the post by utilizing eloquent's with() method, and obtain your $user variable from your $post variable, OR just use the user property of post as follows:
$post = Post::with('user')->find(1);
$user = $post->user;
