Problem
I want to update a row in a pivot table that have 2 primary keys. But updateExistingPivot want only a single primary key.
$user = App\User::find(1);
$user->roles()->updateExistingPivot($roleId, $attributes);
My DB-tables
My Question
Should I change my pivot table so it only have 1 primary key called id. Or can I keep it with 2 primary keys, and still update it, with Eloquent?
I think for best practice you should add a key id in your Campaign_user table, structure should:
Campaign_user
id|user_id|campaign_id
In User Model
public function campaign()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('Campaign', 'Campaign_user','user_id','campaign_id')->withPivot('extra attribute if any');
}
In Campaign Model
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('User', 'Campaign_user','campaign_id','user_id')->withPivot('extra attribute if any');
}
Now your code is:
$user = App\User::find($userId);
$user->campaign()->updateExistingPivot($campaignId, array('any attribute'=>$value));
