I have 2 tables, users and pictures. The tables have a many-to-many relationship and I have created a pivot table name user_pictures.
The users table is as follows:
id
firstname
lastname
The pictures table is as follows:
id
filename
url
The user_pictures table contains:
id
user_id
picture_id
When a user adds a picture, the picture filename and url is stored in the pictures table, and in the user_pictures table the picture_id of that picture is stored alongside the user_id of that user.
How can I retrieve all the picture filename and url related to the user that have added them using Eloquent ORM?
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
protected $table = 'users';
// Define pictures with a pivot table link
public function pictures() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Models\UserPicture', 'user_pictures', 'picture_id', 'user_id');
}
//add methods
}
class UserPicture extends Model
{
protected $table = 'user_pictures';
public function picture() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Models\Picture', 'id', 'picture_id');
}
public function user() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Models\User', 'id', 'user_id');
}
//add methods
}
class Pictures extends Model
{
protected $table = 'pictures';
//add methods
}
If you don't want to add timestamps to the tables you must add these 2 methods:
public function setCreatedAt($value) {
// to disable created_at
}
public function setUpdatedAt($value) {
// to disable created_at
}
To fetch pictures from a user do this:
$userPictures = UserPicture::where(array('user_id'=>1)->get();
foreach($userPictures as $userpicture) {
$picture = $userpicture->picture();
}
