I have two models User and UserType declared as follows:
class User extends Model {
protected $table = 'user';
protected $primaryKey = 'user_id';
public function company() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Models\Company', 'company_id', 'company_id');
}
public function userType() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Models\UserType', 'user_type_id', 'user_type_id');
}
}
class UserType extends Model {
protected $table = 'user_type';
protected $primaryKey = 'user_type_id';
}
Now, I query the relationships using:
User::with('userType', 'company')->all()
Strangely, I get the company but userType is always null. The MySQL query log shows that Laravel was able to get the user_type record.
The only difference between company and userType relationships are the data type of the primary keys. company.company_id is numeric while user_type.user_type_id is a string. I think it is related to the data type of the keys however, I have a similar setup on Laravel 5.1 and it runs perfectly.
