Many-to-many relationship - it doesn't display elements












1














I want to have many-to-many relationship. So i created:
Into Game model



public function category(){
return $this->belongsToMany('AppCategory');
}


Into Category model



public function games(){
return $this->hasMany('AppGame');
}


Into controller



$category = Category::where('slug', $slug)->first();
dd($category->games());
return view('frontend.game.gamelist')->with('elements', $category->games());


Generally, I try display all games belongs to particular category. I see something like this
enter image description here



If I remove dd() view won't display any elements.But it doesn't problem with view.



@foreach($elements as $element)
//...
@endforeach


Why it doesn;t work?

  • It must be $category->games not $category->games(), Call it like a property.

You Category model also needs to have belongsToMany in its games() relation.



public function games() {
return $this->belongsToMany('AppGame');
}

    You are using lazy loaded data



    Laravel eloquent Lazy Vs. Eager Loaded



    Update your controller method:



    $category = Category::with('games')->where('slug', $slug)->first();
    dd($category->games);

    return view('frontend.game.gamelist')->with('elements', $category);


    You have to get all the category with games, so that you can get those data with an query also see them in dd function.



    If you only get category and then do category->games() it will execute another query in your view.

      When you do:



      $category->games();


      you are accessing the relationship itself (useful to attach contraints), not the elements of the relation. Check this other answer for a detail explanation.



      Try this instead:



      $category->games;




      OBS



      When doing a Many-to-Many relationship, the belongsToMany method needs to be specified in both models.



      Category.php



      public function games()
      {
      return $this->belongsToMany('AppGame');
      }

        You need to have a belongsToMany relationship in your Category model as well to have a many-many relationship. You can achieve this by doing:



        public function games() 
        {
        return $this->belongsToMany('AppGame');
        }


        Then in your category controller, you have:



        $category = Category::with('games')->where('slug', $slug)->get();

        return view('frontend.game.gamelist', compact('category');


        Then in your view, you can access the list of games by



        @foreach($category->games as $game)
        //...
        @endforeach

                                    You need to have a belongsToMany relationship in your Category model as well to have a many-many relationship. You can achieve this by doing:



                                    public function games() 
                                    {
                                    return $this->belongsToMany('AppGame');
                                    }


                                    Then in your category controller, you have:



                                    $category = Category::with('games')->where('slug', $slug)->get();

                                    return view('frontend.game.gamelist', compact('category');


                                    Then in your view, you can access the list of games by



                                    @foreach($category->games as $game)
                                    //...
                                    @endforeach
