问题
I am using Laravel's Eloquent ORM and I'm having trouble eager loading items for display.
Here is the scenario:
- Users follow Blogs
- Blogs have Posts
I have a database table named Relationships, this table is used to store the User ID and the Blog ID to show which User is following which Blog. I have a table for Blogs describing the Blog and I have a table for Posts. The Relationships table would be my pivot table to connect the Users with the Blogs tables together. Now, I need to list out all the posts from all the Blogs the User follows in a list.
Here is my User model:
public function following() {
return $this->has_many_and_belongs_to('Blog', 'relationships', 'user_id', 'blog_id');
}
Here is my Blog model:
public function followers() {
return $this->has_many_and_belongs_to('User', 'relationships', 'blog_id', 'user_id');
}
public function posts() {
return $this->has_many('Post');
}
This is how I am trying to retrieve the posts in a list:
$posts = User::with(array('following', 'following.posts'))
->find($user->id)
->following()
->take($count)
->get();
This code only lists out the actual Blogs, I need their Posts.
Thank you for your help, please let me know if you need any more details.
SOLUTION:
I slightly modified the accepted answer below, I decided to use the JOIN to reduce the amount of SQL calls to simply 1 call. Here it is:
$posts = Post::join('blogs', 'posts.blog_id', '=', 'blogs.id')
->join('relationships', 'blogs.id', '=', 'relationships.blog_id')
->select('posts.*')
->where('relationships.user_id', '=', $user->id)
->order_by('posts.id', 'desc')
->take($count)
->get();

This is not achievable by native Eloquent methods. But you can use a bit of Fluent methods to join those tables. For instance:
Edit here: I've added the eager loading to Post
query.
$user = User::find(1);
$posts = Post::with('blog') // Eager loads the blog this post belongs to
->join('blogs', 'blogs.id', '=', 'posts.blog_id')
->join('relationships', 'relationships.blog_id', '=', 'blogs.id')
->where('relationships.user_id', '=', $user->id)
->order_by('posts.id', 'desc') // Latest post first.
->limit(10) // Gets last 10 posts
->get('posts.*');
foreach ($posts as $post) {
print($post->title);
}
If you also need a list of all blogs that such user is following to show on a sidebar, for instance. You can DYI instead of relying on Eloquent, which should be faster and more customizable. For instance:
$user = User::with('following')->find(1);
// This creates a dictionary for faster performance further ahead
$dictionary = array();
foreach ($user->following as $blog) {
$dictionary[$blog->id] = $blog;
}
// Retrieves latest 10 posts from these blogs that he follows
// Obs: Notice the array_keys here
$posts = Post::where_in('blog_id', array_keys($blog_ids))
->order_by('posts.id', 'desc')
->limit(10)
->get();
// Hydrates all posts with their owning blogs.
// This avoids loading the blogs twice and has no effect
// on database records. It's just a helper for views.
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$post->relationships['blog'] = $dictionary[$post->blog_id];
}
On view:
foreach ($user->following as $blog) {
print($blog->title);
}
foreach ($posts as $post) {
print($post->title . ' @'. $post->blog->title);
}
