Laravel - A show can have multiple providers - php

Question

So I am trying to figure a solution to this but not sure exactly how to do this. I have a table that stores all the shows that happen. In a given show I can have multiple providers attend that show. A provider could also attend many shows as well. So how do I store this in the DB and do the eloquent relationship?
Show Schema
Schema::create('shows', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->integer('number')->unsigned();
$table->dateTime('airDate');
$table->string('podcastUrl')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
Provider Schema
Schema::create('providers', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('shortName')->nullable();
$table->string('image')->nullable();
$table->string('social')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
Would I store the provider_id in the shows schema?
Update 1
So I created a new migration for a pivot table
Schema::create('provider_show', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->integer('provider_id')->unsigned()->index();
$table->foreign('provider_id')->references('id')->on('providers')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->integer('show_id')->unsigned()->index();
$table->foreign('show_id')->references('id')->on('shows')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->primary(['provider_id', 'show_id']);
});
Then in the show model I created the following
public function providers()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Provider::class);
}
Now when I am saving a new show I added a multiselect to select the providers I want
$show = new Show;
$show->name = $request->name;
$show->number = $request->number;
$show->airDate = $request->airDate;
$show->podcastUrl = $request->podcastUrl;
$show->providers()->attach($request->providerList);
$show->save();
Session::flash('message', "Created Successfully!");
return back();
Then when I save I get the following error
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 19 NOT NULL constraint failed: provider_show.show_id (SQL: insert into "provider_show" ("provider_id", "show_id") select 1 as "provider_id", as "show_id" union all select 2 as "provider_id", as "show_id")

Answer 1

Create a provider_show migration which will act as your pivot table.
This table would contain both provider_id and show_id which will provide the many-to-many relationship between those entities.
Then on your Provider model you can provide a shows() method which returns a BelongsToMany relationship.
// In your Provider model
public function shows()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Show');
}
Note that Laravel by default looks for a pivot table name based alphabetically on the two relationships.
You can also add the inverse on your Show model by providing a providers() method that also returns a BelongsToMany relationship.
