i have two tables as below: users table:
|id|name|email|password|created_at|updated_at
messages table:
|id|sender_id|receiver_id|message|created_at|updated_at
User model:
public function threads()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(Message::class, User::class,'id','sender_id');
}
i'm trying retrieve message threads which isn't working. any help appreciated.
This is an example from laravel eloquent relationship
class Country extends Model
{
public function posts()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(
'App\Post',
'App\User',
'country_id', // Foreign key on users table...
'user_id', // Foreign key on posts table...
'id', // Local key on countries table...
'id' // Local key on users table...
);
}
}
can you review your code
It seems that you want to retrieve all messages that belongs to a single thread (list of users) using hasMany relationship Through User model, to do that You have to define hasManyThrough inside Thread model not in User model, here is an example:
User:
|id|name|email|password|created_at|updated_at|thread_id
Note thread_id foreign key because thread is a list of users
Thread:
class Thread extends Model {
public function messages() {
return $this->hasManyThrough(Message::class, User::class,'thread_id','sender_id', 'id', 'id');
}
}
