Restore all parents and children of the tree

Question

I have a MySQL table as

+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|        Id          |      parent_id     |        title       |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
|        1           |         0          | Student Management |
|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
|        2           |         0          |  Staff Management  |
|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
|        3           |         1          |     Add Student    |
|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
|        4           |         1          |    View Students   |
|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
|        5           |         2          |      Add Staff     |
|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
|        6           |         2          |      View Staff    |
|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
|        7           |         4          |       Delete       |
|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
|        8           |         5          |        Copy        |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+

I want to rise higher, in my opinion, recursively.

Desired Conclusion

+-------------------------------+------------------------------+
|      Student Mangement        |         Staff Management     |
|        Add Student            |            Add Staff         |
|       View Student            |              Copy            |
|          Delete               |            View Staff        |

I want to get above the MySQL table as the structure that I defined above

My method of getting like

public function get()
{
    $categories = Categories::where('parent_id', '=', 0)->get();
    $permission = Categories::pluck('title','id')->all();
    return view('create-role')->with(compact('categories'));
}

With the above method, I get the parents in the view as

@foreach($categories as $category)
   <li>
     {{ $category->title }}
   </li>
 @endforeach

Output as

Student management

Personnel Management

Please help how can I get the above structure recursively.

Answer 1

Define relationships in your model first

public function children() {
    return $this->hasMany(Category::class, 'parent_id', 'id');
}

public function parent() {
    return $this->belongsTo(Category::class, 'parent_id', 'id');
}

Then, in your opinion, I do not know how many sub-levels you have. But there are two ways:

1-
, 3 , 3 foreach

$categories = Category::with('children')->get(); //save you some queries 

@foreach($categories as $category)
    @if( $category->children )
        @foreach($category->children as $level2)
            @if($level2->children)
               @foreach($level2->children as $level3)
                   @if($level3->children)
                       //another foreach
                   @endif
                   {{ $level3->title }}
               @foreach
            @endif
            {{ $level2->title }}
        @endforeach
    @endif

    {{ $category->title }}
@endforeach

2- .

public function recursiveChildren() {
    return $this->children()->with('recursiveChildren');
    //It seems this is recursive
}

Answer 2

php ( ).

formatTree, .

<?php

function formatTree($tree, $parent)
{
    $tree2 = array();
    foreach ($tree as $item) {
        if ($item['parent_id'] == $parent) {
            $tree2[$item['id']] = $item;
            $tree2[$item['id']]['child'] = formatTree($tree, $item['id']);
        }
    }

    return $tree2;
}


//for demo
$beforeTree = [
    ['id' => 1, 'parent_id' => 0],
    ['id' => 2, 'parent_id' => 1],
    ['id' => 3, 'parent_id' => 2],
    ['id' => 4, 'parent_id' => 0],
    ['id' => 5, 'parent_id' => 4],
    ['id' => 6, 'parent_id' => 4],
];
$afterTree = formatTree($beforeTree, 0);

var_dump($afterTree);
