In my application, I have setup a User model that can have subscribers and subscriptions through a pivot table called subscriptions
.
public function subscribers()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Forum\User', 'subscriptions', 'subscription_id', 'subscriber_id');
}
public function subscriptions()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Forum\User', 'subscriptions', 'subscriber_id', 'subscription_id');
}
My question is, what relationship should I use to get a list of paginated Post models (belong to a User) from the User's subscriptions?
You can use the whereHas
method to filter based on relationships. Assuming your Post
model has a user
relationship defined, your code would look something like:
// target user
$user = \App\User::first();
$userId = $user->id;
// get all of the posts that belong to users that have your target user as a subscriber
\App\Post::whereHas('user.subscribers', function ($query) use ($userId) {
return $query->where('id', $userId);
})->paginate(10);
You can read more about querying relationship existence in the documentation.
You can do something like this
\App\Post::with(['subscriptions' => function ($query) {
$query->where('date', 'like', '%date%');
}])->paginate(15);
Or without any conditions
\App\Post::with('subscriptions')->paginate(15);
