Laravel有一个通过数据透视表

Question

So I have 2 models, User & Profile, the relationship is set up as follows:

    /**
     * User belongs to many Profile
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\belongsToMany
     */
    public function profiles()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('App\Models\Profile', 'user_profiles');
    }

I have 3 tables, users, profiles & user_profiles (the pivot table)

I have a column in my users table called active_profile which gets populated with a profile id.

How can I set up the relationship so that I can call something like the following:

$user->active_profile

So that it will return all the profile information for the id set in active_profile?

Answer 1

You can add a method into your User model like this :

public function active_profile ()
{
   return $this->profiles()
          ->find($this->active_profile);
}

and then you can call the method as $user->active_profile();
