Laravel. Keep eloquent relationship after join - php

Question

suddenly i faced problem which I can't solve by myself. I wrote query which returns me some data:
$users = User::whereIn('users.status', array(2,3))
->leftJoin('firsts', 'firsts.user_id', '=', 'users.id')
->leftJoin('seconds', 'seconds.user_id', '=', 'users.id')
->leftJoin('thirds', 'thirds.user_id', '=', 'users.id')
->leftJoin('offers', 'offers.user_id', '=', 'users.id')
->where(function($query){
$query->where('users.status', '=', '2');
$query->where('firsts.status', '=', 'approved');
$query->where('seconds.status', '=', 'approved');
$query->where('offers.user_id', '=', 'approved');
})
->orWhere(function($query){
$query->where('users.status', '=', '3');
$query->where('users.stripe_active', '=', '1');
$query->where('firsts.status', '=', 'approved');
$query->where('seconds.status', '=', 'approved');
$query->where('thirds.status', '=', 'approved');
$query->where('offers.status', '=', 'approved');
})
->get();
I were expecting simple object as a return from query. At the moment I have one proper record in my users table, but this query returns me that object 6 times, and I can't understand why. Results I'm expect:
Collection {#353 ▼
#items: array:1 [▼
0 => User {#354 ▼

Could any explain how did i lose all the relationships between tables and how can I avoid it? Since structure of result changed, I can't use loops, relationships and etc. Thanks!.

Answer 1

If im reading this right, you just want to
(delete join onto orders)...->groupBy('users.id')->get();
That will return you one user matching the conditions.
You can achieve this with 2 queries, first group by on users (don't join orders), then do a second query for the orders. What else to join would depend on which tables you are using to filter users by vs which tables you are using to add data to orders with.
Put data to add to orders in the second query, stuff your using to filter users in the first. You could also try a subquery but that isn't supported well in eloquent.
Also your whereIn is completely pointless, as you are already testing for where user status is 2 or 3.
Edited for a little more clarity,I was a little hasty. Originally thought that the poster wanted one row back - which wasn't the case.
