Specific role relations - php

Question

I work on one project with Laravel 5.2 and Entrust package for ACL.
In this project I need for one Role ('venue_owner') in which venue is owner. I have also table called venue and I have no idea how to make this relations, because table users is general for all type of users.
How to make this relations to know what user from role venue_owner is owner of what venues ?

Answer 1

Have you created your Migrations yet by running: php artisan enthrust:migration? if not it, run it and then inside the file that is generated, add your own tables like below within the up() Method of the Enthrust Migration File:
<?php
public function up() {
// SOME OTHER TABLE CREATION CODES...
Schema::create('venue_owner', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer("user_id")->unsigned();
$table->timestamps();
// CREATE THE ASSOCIATION/RELATIONSHIP USING FOREIGN KEY
$table->foreign('id')
->references('id')
->on('venue')
->onDelete('cascade');
});
Schema::create('venues', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer("venue_owner_id")->unsigned();
$table->string("venue");
$table->timestamps();
// CREATE THE ASSOCIATION/RELATIONSHIP USING FOREIGN KEY
$table->foreign('venue_owner_id')
->references('id')
->on('venue_owner');
});
}
public function down() {
// OTHER DROP COMMAND CODES...
Schema::drop('venue_owner');
Schema::drop('venues');
}
Then in your Eloquent Model Class you can explicitly set the $this->hasMany() like so:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class VenueOwner extends Model {
/**
* GET ALL THE venues FOR THE venue_owner .
*/
public function venues() {
return $this->hasMany('App\Venues');
}
/**
* GET ALL THE user FOR THE venue_owner .
*/
public function user() {
return $this->hasOne('App\User');
}
And in your Venues Eloquent Model Class, you do something like:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Venues extends Model {
/**
* GET THE venue_owner FOR venue(s).
*/
public function venueOwner() {
return $this->belongsTo('App\VenueOwner');
}
Last but not least in your Users Eloquent Model Class, you do something like:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Users extends Model {
/**
* GET THE user Information FOR venue_owner.
*/
public function venueOwner() {
return $this-> hasOne('App\VenueOwner');
}
Now, you can get all information about the venue_owner and his venues and roles & permissions using the user_id.
