Code:
<?php
class Catering extends \Eloquent {
protected $table = 'catering';
public $timestamps = FALSE;
public function offers() {
return $this->hasMany('Offer', 'cid');
}
}
class Offer extends \Eloquent {
protected $table = 'catering_offer';
public $timestamps = FALSE;
public function catering() {
return $this->belongsTo('Catering');
}
}
I am able to do
$offers = Catering::find(1)->offers;
but, the inverse is not working:
$catering = Offer::find(1)->catering;
is always returning NULL. Database has the right values.
Offer table has 2 columns:
primary(id), int(cid)
that references catering.id.
The question:
How can i access the reverse side of this relation?
You said that, I am able to do
$offers = Catering::find(1)->offers;
and in your Catering model you have
public function offers() {
return $this->hasMany('Offer', 'cid');
}
It seems like you've defined a different foreign key here (cid) to use it instead of the default one that laravel basically supposed to use, so, to do the reverse relation you have to do the same thing in your Offer model's catering function
public function catering() {
return $this->belongsTo('Catering', 'cid');
}
In the Laravel Documentation, it says that, you may override the conventional foreign key by passing a second argument to the hasMany method, like
return $this->hasMany('Offer', 'custom_key');
Same way, to define the inverse of the relationship on the Offer model, you can use the belongsTo method, like
return $this->belongsTo('Catering', 'custom_key'); // cid

I am trying to retrieve the inverse side of the one to many relationship where the method is camelCase. i.e
Owning Class: OneToMany
class Brand extends Model
{
public function products()
{
return $this->hasMany(Product::class);
}
}
Owned Class
class Product extends Model
{
public function MyBrand()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Brand::class);
}
}
retrieve the inverse related model like this:
$product = Product::find(1);
$brand = $product->my_brand;
dd($brand->name);
Error, Trying to get property 'name' of non-object
I also tried this:
$brand = $product->myBrand;
it did not work.
however, if i make my method like below it works:
public function brand()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Brand::class);
}
question is : how to make it work when the method is in CameCase ?
Try this,
public function my_brand()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Brand::class);
}
And call this relation as,
$product = Product::find(1);
$brand = $product->my_brand;
dd($brand->name);
You need to change, method name in brand(), because Eloquent will automatically determine the proper foreign key column in the Brands table.
https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent-relationships#one-to-many
If you want to keep it MyBrand() you need to specify foreign key:
public function MyBrand()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Brand::class,'product_id');
}
Specify it's foreign key in relationship
class Product extends Model
{
public function MyBrand()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Brand::class,'brand_id');
//brand_id is foreign key in your product table
}
}
$product = Product::find(1)->with('MyBrand'); //But it will be good to eager load it
$product->MyBrand->name; //It will definitely return name now
I'm trying to create a league table in Laravel but I'm running into some issues with guess what, relationships, again. They never seem to work for me in Laravel. It's like they hate me.
I have a modal for matches
<?php
namespace App\Database;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Match extends Model
{
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
protected $table = 'matches';
public $timestamps = false;
protected $guarded = ['id'];
}
And a modal for teams, but with a matches() function
<?php
namespace App\Database;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Team extends Model
{
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
protected $table = 'teams';
public $timestamps = false;
protected $guarded = ['id'];
public function matches() {
return $this->hasMany('App\Database\Match', 'team_one_id, team_two_id');
}
}
I think the issue comes with team_one_id, team_two_id as the teams primary key could be in either one of them columns for the other table. When calling count() on matches() it throws an error.
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'matches.team_one_id, team_two_id' in 'where clause' (SQL: select count(*) as aggregate from matches where matches.team_one_id, team_two_id = 1 and matches.team_one_id, team_two_id is not null)
can you try this syntax
return $this->hasMany('modelPath', 'foreign_key', 'local_key');
Does Match table have a column maned 'team_id'?
because it's the default naming convention in the laravel docs for mapping the tables.
if you do have the column and populate the data you can just remove the foreign & local keys from matches() relationship. you don't need it. Laravel will automatically map it for you.
if you do not have the 'team_id' on Matches table please add the column and add the respective team ids for matches.
<?php
namespace App\Database;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Team extends Model
{
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
protected $table = 'teams';
public $timestamps = false;
protected $guarded = ['id'];
public function matches() {
return $this->hasMany('App\Database\Match');
}
}
This way you can implement it, Add these relationship and a method in Team Model
public function homeMatches() {
return $this->hasMany('App\Database\Match', 'team_one_id');
}
public function awayMatches() {
return $this->hasMany('App\Database\Match', 'team_two_id');
}
public function matches() {
return $this->homeMatches->merge($this->awayMatches);
}
Now Fetch the data
$team = Team::find(1);
$matches = $team->matches(); //now it will fetch all matches for both columns
If you want to fetch matches as attributes then you can add one method
in your Team model
public function getMatchesAttribute()
{
return $this->homeMatches->merge($this->awayMatches);
}
Now you can fetch the matches as $matches = $team->matches;
Here is the difference
$team->matches returns Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection
And
$team->matches() returns Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\{Relation Name}
You can't use matches in Eager loading like Team::with('matches') because matches is not a relationship and that causing your Error. What you can do is add homeMatches and awayMatches in eager loading and then call $team->matches().
$teams = Team::with('homeMatches', 'awayMatches')->get();
$teams->each(function ($team) {
print_r($team);
print_r($team->matches());
});
I have a very simple Eloquent Model:
class HelpdeskComment extends Model
{
protected $table = 'helpdesk_comment';
protected $guarded = ['id', 'helpdesk_topic_id'];
public function topic () {
return $this->belongsTo ('\\App\\Model\\HelpdeskTopic');
}
public function user () {
return $this->belongsTo ('\\App\\Model\\User');
}
}
This all works quite well when doing stuff like
$user = $helpdeskComment->user;
However, I would like to change the model so that the User table (specifically the "username" field) is always left-joined against the HelpdeskComment table, regardless of the query function called. Is there a simple/central way to achieve this or do I have to override each function (all(), etc.)?
Thanks for any ideas & pointers.
I'm still struggeling with the laravel Models. At first I tried doing it all using the tables, but thats not smart, I'll miss out on lots of the laravel functions.
I have the following setup
ProjectTwitterStatus links the projects and the twitter statuses.
TwitterStatus has all the details of a twitter status and has a unique ID ('posted at' datetime of tweet is among the details)
TwitterRetweets has the ID of the TwitterStatus - the actual retweet - and the tweet ID of the retweeted status
TwitterReplies has the ID of the TwitterStatus - that is the actual reply - and/or the user ID if not a reply to a status but to a user.
What I want? To get for each date (DATE(datetime)) the count of the statuses, retweets and replies, using the laravel model relations.
These are the models.
class ProjectTwitterStatus extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'project_twitter_statuses';
protected $softDelete = true;
public function twitterStatus() {
return $this->belongsTo('TwitterStatus');
}
public function project() {
return $this->belongsTo('Project');
}
}
class TwitterStatus extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'twitter_statuses';
public function twitterRetweet() {
return $this->hasMany('TwitterRetweet');
}
public function twitterReply() {
return $this->hasMany('TwitterReply');
}
public function twitterUser() {
return $this->belongsTo('TwitterUser');
}
public function projectTwitterStatus() {
return $this->hasMany('ProjectTwitterStatus');
}
}
class TwitterRetweet extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'twitter_retweets';
public function twitterStatus() {
return $this->belongsTo('TwitterStatus');
}
}
class TwitterReply extends Eloquent {
protected $table = 'twitter_replies';
public function twitterStatus() {
return $this->belongsTo('TwitterStatus');
}
}
I got the count of the twitterStatuses using this:
$twitterStatuses = TwitterStatus::has('projectTwitterStatus')
->groupBy(DB::raw('DATE(datetime)'))
->get(array(DB::raw('COUNT(id) AS tweets'),DB::raw('DATE(datetime) AS date')));
I tried for example this to get the retweet count added but that has no effect (a reference to the model apears in the object -> array().
$twitterStatuses = TwitterStatus::has('projectTwitterStatus')
->with(array('twitterRetweet' => function($query)
{
$query->count();
}))
->groupBy(DB::raw('DATE(datetime)'))
->take(10)
->get(array(DB::raw('COUNT(id) AS tweets'),DB::raw('DATE(datetime) AS date')));
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Not 100% sure how your intended solution is to be used - Assuming you simply want a count of the number of retweets related to twitterStatus?
$count = $twitterStatus->twitterRetweet()->count();
where $twitterStatus is an already retrieved model - not a collection.
if $twitterStatus is a collection to iterate through you can also eager load the related model using either with() or load()
Then you can iterate through each model in the collection - depends on how you wanted to use the results
I am having issues getting the relationship array back when eager loading in laravel 4. for example:
controller:
foreach (Apps::with('extra')->get() as $app)
{
print_r($app->toArray());//returns array but my relationship array at the bottom says null
echo $app->extra; //this will show my relationship details
}
model:
class Apps extends Eloquent
{
protected $connection = 'mysql_2';
protected $table = 'apps';
public $timestamps = false;
protected $primaryKey = 'name';
public function host()
{
return $this->belongsTo('Hosts','name');
}
public function extra()
{
$this->primaryKey='app_ip';
return $this->hasone('Extra','ip');
}
//other functions below.......
}
class Extra extends Eloquent
{
protected $connection = 'mysql_3';
protected $table = 'extra';
public $timestamps = false;
protected $primaryKey = 'ip';
public function app(){
return $this->belongsTo('Apps', 'app_ip');
}
mysql:
My mysql tables were not created through laravel they were previously existent. the app_ip column in the Apps table relates to the ip column in the extra table. it is a 1 to 1 relationship and I have specified the primary key in the relationship function. I am getting relationships back so I know that it is working.
I am able to get relationship data back when I call the function directly, but it does not show the relationship data when I try and print the full array. The main goal is to be able to return both the relationship columns and the app columns in one response.
You need to do this:
$apps = Apps::all();
$apps->load('extra');
foreach ($apps as $app)
{
print_r($app->toArray()); // prints your relationship data as well
}
What you have should work and iterating through the collection or using ->load() to eager load shouldn't make a difference. Are you using the visible restriction on your models? If so you will need to include the relationships.
class Apps extends Eloquent {
protected $visible = array(
'id',
'name',
'created_at',
'extra', // Make the relationship 'visible'
);
public function extra()
{
return $this->hasMany('Extra');
}
}
