One to one relationship
One to One is a basic relationship in the relationship of database tables. In this relationship hasOne() strategy call and return result esteem :
- In hasOne technique first argument passed is the name of the related model. Once a relationship is defined, we use Eloquent dynamic properties to retrieve related records.
- The relationship model automatically assumes a foreign key to id. In the event that we wish to override or pass the third argument to indicate your custom key.
- Now, we can access the Demo model to our Test model. We can characterize belongsTo() technique in Test model for access relationship Demo model.
One to Many:-
One to Many relationships is defined in a single model to use relationships with other model’s data.
- This relationship is defined by the ‘hasMany’ method.
- In this relationship, we can create a relationship in a single model same as in the One to One inverse model. After defining the relationship we can retrieve the demo model for the exam.
Many to Many:-
- Many to Many relations are a little complex as compared to hasOne and hasMany relationships.
- This relationship is defined by the ‘belongsToMany’ method.
- After defining the relationship you can access student’s exams using a dynamic property exam.
- You can utilize chaining query constraints on this relationship.
- In this relationship you can see both models counterpart are the same because we are reusing the belongsToMany() on this models
Has Many Through:-
- Numerous advantageous — Easy shortcuts are utilized to get to separate relations in this relationship and all helpful alternate ways are given by Has Many Through relationship.
- In the above example, the first argument and second argument pass in hasManyThrough() method is the name of the final method and intermediate model name.
Polymorphic Relations:-
- A single associated model is allowed to belong more than one another model in a Polymorphic relationship.
- This relation provides a custom Polymorphic relation
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\Relation;
Relation::morphMap(['Teacher' => 'App\Teacher', 'Exam' => 'App\Exam', ]) - You can register morphMap() in the boot function in AppServiceProvider or Create a separate service.
- The polymorphic relation is a great deal to save time and share particular features.
Many To Many Polymorphic Relations:-
- Many To Many Polymorphic Relation Is defined in traditional polymorphic relations. For example, the teacher and exam model has shared a polymorphic relation with a demo model.
- It can allow you to unique tags in a single list and that shared in teacher and exam models.
