One thing to ask, you have queried the *manager* relationship of pivot table in every iteration. Isn't there a way to eager load the relationships on pivot table too?

[@dipenparmar2273]

Nice 👍

[@GergelyCsermely]

Very interesting. Thanks. I made a similar project, but with the pivot table I faced problems on delete on the origonal records from the parent tabel. I solved it with with on delete cascade $table->foreignId('checkout_id') ->references('id')->on('checkouts') ->onDelete('cascade'); $table->foreignId('paymethode_id') ->references('id')->on('paymethodes') ->onDelete('cascade'); $table->primary(['checkout_id', 'paymethode_id']);

Very nice work, please if you can make video for OrderBy or sortBy into belongsToMany Relationships ?

[@javar1987]

thanks man, you are imba.

[@coolcha]

Thank you for making this video it really helps. Question: how to use MorphPivot - there is not much information and examples out there as I suppose it is quite advanced. Please could you explain or point to some resource.

[@offsideplayer]

Is it possible to call the ProjectSeeder (which would only create the instances of Project) before the UserSeeder, and do the foreach attaching logic in the UserSeeder? Or are we attaching the users to the projects, also according to the naming convention of the pivot table? Thanks, great videos!

[@josiahtmahachi7291]

Thank you for this video. I was wondering how to set a value for one (or more) of the columns in the pivot table while attaching. For example, when attaching a user to a project and set is_admin to 1 at the same time.

[@LaravelDaily]

Read in the docs: laravel.com/docs/8.x/eloquent-relationships#attaching-detaching

I had a problem using the pivot model in many-to-many relationships because the queries in the database used the table name different from what I had named in the varialbe $table in model pivot

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I want to ask a question. There is a similar construction in the form products (id, name), urls (id, url) and product_url (product_id, url_id). When a product or url is deleted, I can delete it from the product_url table. There is no problem, but when I delete a data from the product table, I want to delete all the urls connected to that product from the urls table, although I gave it onDelete ('cascade') in the product_url table, it did not work. :( is there an easy way to achieve this?

[@tothebone4613]

how to create image crud in many to many relationship ?, is the image field added on pivot ?

[@yassinenatij1699]

can we use the same approch when we have categories ,for exemple , id and parent_id for categories in the same table.( id , name , parent_id ) ?

[@davitjanashia9344]

Great video, thank you for amazing content. One question, which text-editor or IDE are you using in this video?

[@PovilasKorop]

Phpstorm.

[@davitjanashia9344]

@@PovilasKorop Thank you, yes, after I asked a question I noticed when you were switching programs. 👍🏻 I use atom, but it seems that PS has more features to work with Laravel

[@erikmortensen3788]

First... excellent video !!! Second ... is it possible to get the id of the pivot table ?? I can't do it

[@dascorp1]

@PovilasKorop How can we order the results by field in pivot model relation? using the video example by managers name - `$user->pivot->manager->name`

[@giovannydamelio7190]

so, how do you do to prevent show the projects that has no users or as you did in your video where the projects shows without users that fill's te conditions. i mean, to get only the projects that has users to show and don't get any empty colums

[@kratom82]

very helpful and thanks a lot. i cant quite figure out yet how to store values into the boolean fields $user->roles()->sync($request->roles); //This is where i save multiple roles attached to a user $user->classrooms()->sync($request->input('class')); // here i assign the user to a specific classroom from a dropdown return redirect()->route('admin.users.index'); but what do i have to do, to fill in the booleans is_manager if for example one of the multiple roles manager is checked? is this the case where i should use a Pivot Model and rework my classes and relations for cleaner data handling?

[@PovilasKorop]

What you need is intermediate columns, like: return $this->belongsToMany('App\Role')->withPivot('column1', 'column2'); Read the docs laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent-relationships#many-to-many - specifically section called Retrieving Intermediate Table Columns

[@bitculator]

What if it is a categories/subcategories table like only 'Category' and CategoryGroups, where CategoryGroups has parent_id and child_id, to allow a category to both be a parent but also be a child of more than one parent etc, i cant get that to work

[@elRogerBee]

you are a crack, my idol

[@maitan5675]

Hi. Can I get one(latest) record with belongsToMany?

[@spraydeveloper5452]

Hello, can I query modal like this $user = user::with('roles')->wherePivot('role_id', 1)->get(); instead of wherePivot in modal class? Thank you :)

[@tothebone4613]

what is addon to add info on table, related and foreign pivot key like in 3:21?

[@PovilasKorop]

What do you mean by addon? It's PhpStorm without any addons.
