How do I get all of the results from a hasMany() relationship in Laravel?
eloquent, laravel, orm, php
Solution
To get the children of the `BaseProduct` you may try this:
$bp = BaseProduct::with('Products')->get();
Now, you have a collection of `BaseProduct` so, you may use something like this:
$bp->first()->products
Or get the second item from collection
$bp->get(1)->products
Also, you may run a loop like this (most probably in the view after pass it):
// From the controller
$bp = BaseProduct::with('Products')->get();
return View::make('view_name')->with('baseProduct', $bp);
In the `View`
@foreach($baseProduct->products as $product)
{{ $product->field_name }}
@endforeach
Update: Yes, you may try this
$product = Product::first();
$baseProduct = $product->BaseProduct;
// Dump all children/products of this BaseProduct
dd($baseProduct->products->toArray());
You may chain like:
Product::first()->BaseProduct->products;
Update: Your table structure should look something like:
Table:baseproduct:
id(pk) | some_field | another_field
Table:products:
id(pk) | baseproduct_id(fk) | another_field
According to this table structure, relationship should be
// BaseProduct
public function Products()
{
return $this->hasMany("Product");
}
// Product
public function Products()
{
// second parameter/baseproduct_id is optional unless
// you have used something else than baseproduct_id
return $this->belongsTo("BaseProduct", "baseproduct_id");
}
Problem
For example, I have a Product, and I have a BaseProduct. In the model for the Product, I've specified the following: ``` //In class Product public function BaseProduct() { return $this->belongsTo("BaseProduct", "BaseProductId"); } ``` In the BaseProduct, I've specified the following relationship: ``` //In class BaseProduct public function Products() { return $this->hasMany("Product", "ProductId"); } ``` If I were to select a product, like so: ``` $Product::first() ``` I could get the BaseProduct by doing the following: ``` $Product::first()->BaseProduct()->get(); ``` Instead of getting the array of the result from that, how would I get the `Model` of the BaseProduct, so I can get all of the children of BaseProduct, meaning all Products that have a foreign key relating to this BaseProduct. I've tried `BaseProduct()->all();` instead, but it isn't a valid method. Edit: I've created the following chain of function calls - but it's awful. ``` return BaseProduct::find(Product::first()->BaseProduct()->getResults()['BaseProductId'])->Products()->getResults(); ``` Final edit: I had made a mistake in my `BaseProduct` model. In the `Products()` function, I had specified `return $this->hasMany("Product", "ProductId");` where `ProductId` should have been `BaseProductId`. After I fixed that, I could successfully use: ``` Product::first()->BaseProduct->products; ``` As Sheikh Heera had explained.
