Laravel Model 101 Tips

Last Updated 14 May 2022

#2 Conditional Relationships

We can split where condition to a separate method relationship.

public function comments(){
    return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
}
 
public function approved_commments() {
    return $this->hasMany(Comment::class)->where('approved',1);
}

#1 OrderBy on Eloquent Relationships

public function products() {
    return $this->hasMany(Product::class);
}
 
// use orderBy
public function productsByName() {
    return $this->hasMany(Product::class)->orderBy('name')
}
