I am working on notifications I have 2 tables: one is notify
and the other is notify_status
. Through notify I am showing data like title
and description
and in notify_status
I have field read_status
which is by default 0
. After I show it I want to change it to 1
. I also have notify_id
in it as a foreign key. This is my show
method:
public function show($id)
{
$notify = Notify::find($id);
$notify_status = NotifyStatus::where('notify_id', $id)->get();
$user_data['read_status'] = 1;
$user = NotifyStatus::create($user_data);
return view('notify.desr')->with(compact('notify'));
}
But it isn't creating against notify_id
. What should I do?
Your models should define the following relationships:
class Notify extends Model
{
public function setAsRead()
{
$this->status->read_status = 1
$this->status->save();
}
public function wasRead()
{
return (bool) $this->status->read_status;
}
public function status()
{
return $this->hasOne(NotifyStatus::class);
}
}
class NotifyStatus extends Model
{
public function notify()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Notify::class);
}
}
Take a look at Laravel Eloquent Relationships for further reading.
In your controller you can use it like:
$notify = Notify::find($id);
$notify->status->read_status = 1;
$notify->status->save();
return view('notify.desr')->with(compact('notify'));
Or you can simply create a new method to set the new status (take a look at first method of Notify class):
$notify = Notify::find($id);
$notify->setAsRead();
return view('notify.desr')->with(compact('notify'));
public function show($id)
{
$notify = Notify::find($id);
$notify_status = NotifyStatus::where('notify_id', $id)->first();
$notify_status->read_status = 1;
$notify_status->save()
return view('notify.desr')->with(compact('notify'));
}
