Eloquent relation pivot table with table - php

Question

I read the laravel documentation but I couldn't understand very well.
I have this structure on my database.
PriceTable - which contains info about the period of promotional prices and the default price.
Product - which contains info about products.
and PriceTable_Product - which contains the foreign keys of Product and PriceTable and the respective price.
Example:
PriceTable | PriceTable_Product | Product
id | description | PriceTable_id | Product_id | price | product_id| name
1 | default | 1 | 1 | 5.00 | 1 | test
2 | promotional | 2 | 1 | 3.50 |
And at the Order table I can have multiples products, so I want to know if it is possible to relation Order table, with the pivot table PriceTable_Product, because I need the information of which table belongs the price when the product was sold.

Answer 1

First of all you may define the relations between Product and PriceTable.
Product model (App\Product.php)
<?php
namespace App;
class Product extends Model {
protected $table = 'products';
//if the default primary key isn't 'id' you may use $primaryKey
protected $primaryKey = 'product_id';
public function pricetables() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\PriceTable');
}
}
PriceTable model (App\PriceTable.php)
<?php
namespace App;
class PriceTable extends Model {
protected $table = 'pricetable';
public function products() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Product');
}
}
If you created the relations then you can use:
$product = App\Product::find(1);
foreach ($product->pricetables as $pricetable) {
echo $pricetable->pivot->description;
}
