Laravel 5 pivot tables are not working - php

Question

I am trying to change the home page text languages from database using Pivot tables relationship.
All works fine and I am getting no errors but the word login is not shown.
I have 3 tables
languages

features
id | code | type
70 | login | 0
feature_language
id | feature_id | language_id | text
1 | 70 | 2 | Ru Login
2 | 70 | 1 | Login
Language Model
<?php // Languages Model
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Language extends Model
{
public function features(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Feature');
}
public function getDefaulLanguage(){
return $this->default_back;
}
public function featureTranslation($code){
return $this->features()->where('code', '=', $code)->first();
}
}
?>
Features Model
<?php // Features Model
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Feature extends Model
{
}
?>
Index controller
<?php // index controller
namespace App\Http\Controllers
use App\Language;
class HomeController extends Controller {
public function index(){
$languages = Language::get();
$language_default = Language::where('default_back', '>', '0')->first();
return view('index')->with('languages', $languages)
->with('language_default', $language_default);
}
}
?>
Index View
<?php
<h1>login : {{ $language_default->featureTranslation("login")->text}}</h1>
?>
Any help will be appreciated ))

Answer 1

First, you need to define your pivot table column name in your model.
Language Model:
public function features()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Feature')->withPivot('text');
}
In you Index View, you need to access data like following:
{{ $language_default->featureTranslation("login")->pivot->text }}

Answer 2

Since your pivot table has extra column text, you need to define the column name while defining the relationship
According to Official Doc
By default, only the model keys will be present on the pivot object. If your pivot table contains extra attributes, you must specify them when defining the relationship:
public function features(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Feature')->withPivot('text');
}
And for Retrieving the intermediate table column, you need to use the pivot attribute.

Language Model
<?php // Languages Model
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Language extends Model
{
public function features(){
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Feature', 'feature_language', 'feature_id', 'language_id')->withPivot('text');
}
public function getDefaulLanguage(){
return $this->default_back;
}
public function featureTranslation($code){
return $this->features()->where('code', $code)->first()->pivot->text;
}
}
?>
Index View
<?php
<h1>login : {{ $language_default->featureTranslation("login") }}</h1>
?>
