Laravel eloquent selecting most recent row from joined table

Question

I have two tables, Project and Projectnote

There is a one to many relationship between project and projectnote.

I want to be able to list my projects and sel

Answer 1

In your project model, make the notes relationship function look something like:

public function notes() {
  return $this->hasMany('Note');
}

Then you can get the most recent Note of the Project with primary key 1 by chaining orderBy and first:

Project::find(1)->notes()->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->first();

Also, is your note table called 'Note' or 'Notes'? (Keeping with Laravel style, it should be named singular as I have it in this code)
