morphTo and hasMany Laravel
laravel, mysql, php
Solution
Everything looks right you just should be accessing it via `imageable`:
$product = Product::findOrFail($id);
return $product->imageable;
From the Laravel documentation:
You may also retrieve the owner of a polymorphic relation from the polymorphic model by accessing the name of the method that performs the call to morphTo.
In your case the method that performs the call to `morphTo` is imageable.
Problem
A quick query regarding some data model relations in Laravel. I have a product, that belongs to a user, but a user can have many products. But a product can also have many people making an offer on that product so; ``` class Product extends Model { public function user(){ return $this->belongsTo('App\User'); } public function offer(){ return $this->hasMany('App\Offer'); } ``` But a product can also have different sub types of product, for example, one might be a vehicle, or a mobile phone, each with different columns in my migration, so I assume I need morph many In `Product.php` ``` public function imageable() { return $this->morphTo(); } ``` In `Vehicle.php` ``` public function products() { return $this->morphMany('App\Product', 'imageable'); } ``` However, when calling: ``` $product = Product::findOrFail($id); ``` I get null when I attempt do anything like `$product->vehicle` I add the ID of the vehicle in my database to the `imageable_id` on the products table, and the `imageable` type to 'vehicle' on the products table too. What am I doing wrong here?
