I have an Order table that has buyer_id and seller_id as columns. The buyer_id is the current login user who is buying something from the seller. What I want is when the buyer is submitting the order, the seller_id of the product should also be present.
Here is how I'm creating the order in checkout controller inside the store function
//Insert into the orders table
$order = Order::create([
'buyer_id' => auth()->user() ? auth()->user()->id : null,
'seller_id' => //what should i put here to query the owner of the product(the user who listed the product)
'shipping_email' => $request->email,
'shipping_name' => $request->name,
'shipping_city' => $request->city,
'shipping_phone' => $request->phone,
// 'error' => null,
]);
User.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
/**

*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password', 'Seller'
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
//public function isSeller() {
// return $this->seller;
//}
public function products()
{
return $this->hasMany(Products_model::class);
}
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.

*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
];
public function orders()
{
$this->hasManyThrough(Order::class, Products_model::class, 'buyer_id', 'seller_id', 'product_id');
}

Your products table should have the relationship to the seller of the product, and in the order table you should have the product_id
instead of the seller_id
. Then when you create an order, you should put the product that the buyer is buying and the seller will be there through the product relationship. I hope I am clear and this is what you are looking for.
And even more, while I am thinking about it. I don't know your idea on the orders/products but I guess an order to a product should be a many to many relationship as most of the stores do. Meaning an order contains many products.
A seller has many orders through the products model. So if a product belongs to a seller, then you can make this in your Seller model:
public function orders()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(Order::class, Product::class);
}
