A quick query regarding some data model relationships in Laravel.
I have a product owned by the user, but the user can have many products. But a product can also have many people making an offer on this product, so
class Product extends Model
{
public function user(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}
public function offer(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Offer');
}
But the product may also have different subtypes of the product, for example, there may be a car or a mobile phone, each with different columns in my migration, so I assume that I need to change many
IN Product.php
public function imageable()
{
return $this->morphTo();
}
IN Vehicle.php
public function products()
{
return $this->morphMany('App\Product', 'imageable');
}
However, when called:
$product = Product::findOrFail($id);
I get null when I try to do something like $product->vehicle
I will add the vehicle identifier to my database imageable_id
in the product table, and the type imageable
to "vehicle" in the product table.
What am I doing wrong here?
