I have got a dev database and a live database. I need to return some results from the live database but only for one method within this model.
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class TableName extends Model
{
protected $table = 'table_name';
protected $connection = 'dev';
public $timestamps = false;
public static function live($index) {
$liveId = Settings::where('index', $index)->get()[0];
$live = new TableName;
$live->setConnection('live');
$data = $live::where('index', $liveId->live_index)->get();
dd($live);
return $data;
}
}
If I dd()
the $live
variable after calling setConnection
then it does say that the connection is indeed live
. However as soon as I dd()
the $data
I get the rows from the dev database!
