Tinker like a boss – aliases

This is part of the series tinker like a boss (in psysh)

Aliases

Class aliasing is very simple concept, that allows you to call a class by its alas, rather than original name. It’s not very common to use aliases when writing code , for your IDE gets you covered.

If you’re working with Laravel, it’s worth mentioning that all the facades are also aliases, that’s why you have things like request, validator etc available in global namespace. this is a convention introduced by Taylor to make things a bit more expressive,but still something that your IDE does for you.

Querying relations in Laravel: get Models where latest related is…

2015/12/02 / Jarek / 1 Comment

Another part of Querying relations in Laravel will cover such problem:

I want to get SomeModels that have latest RelatedModel (hasMany) matching.. _SOME CONSTRAINT HERE_

Eloquent provides expressive syntax for querying relations that can be used for simple cases: SomeModel::whereHas('relatedModels', function ($q) { ... })->get(). Unfortunately it is not capable of handling the latest RelatedModel part just like that.

Let’s dive into how we can tackle this problem using 2 approaches:

The easy way – using Collection methods
The right way – using subqueries

Laravel – querying any level far relations with simple trick

2015/04/07 / Jarek / 28 Comments

Eloquent provides one Relation type for far related tables – hasManyThrough. However it works only with with cascade of hasOne/hasMany relations and you can use it only for 2 levels of nesting, while sometimes you need more.

Imagine, that you want to get the posts for logged-in user, having this setup:


// User subscribed to many tags
User belongsToMany Tag

// Post migh be tagged by many tags
Tag belongsToMany Post

// User subscribed to many tags

User belongsToMany Tag

// Post migh be tagged by many tags

Tag belongsToMany Post

Now, because there is no built-in method for such case, you would probably think of getting all the tags, looping through them, and merging all the posts from each tag. While this would work, it would be cumbersome, so let’s make it easier!

Tweaking Eloquent relations – how to get N related models per parent ?

2014/08/17 / Jarek / 26 Comments

Previously I showed you how to get single related model per each parent, while eager loading the hasMany relation. That was pretty easy and we just made the most of the Eloquent.

However, most likely the time will come, when you need several related models per parent.

It won’t be as easy, but it’s far from impossible, so let’s do it!
