Laravel where on relationship object

Question

I\'m developing a web API with Laravel 5.0 but I\'m not sure about a specific query I\'m trying to build.

My classes are as follows:

class Event exte         


        

Answer 1

I created a custom query scope in BaseModel (my all models extends this class):

/**
 * Add a relationship exists condition (BelongsTo).
 *
 * @param  Builder        $query
 * @param  string|Model   $relation   Relation string name or you can try pass directly model and method will try guess relationship
 * @param  mixed          $modelOrKey
 * @return Builder|static
 */
public function scopeWhereHasRelated(Builder $query, $relation, $modelOrKey = null)
{
    if ($relation instanceof Model && $modelOrKey === null) {
        $modelOrKey = $relation;
        $relation   = Str::camel(class_basename($relation));
    }

    return $query->whereHas($relation, static function (Builder $query) use ($modelOrKey) {
        return $query->whereKey($modelOrKey instanceof Model ? $modelOrKey->getKey() : $modelOrKey);
    });
}

You can use it in many contexts for example:

Event::whereHasRelated('participants', 1)->isNotEmpty(); // where has participant with id = 1 

Furthermore, you can try to omit relationship name and pass just model:

$participant = Participant::find(1);
Event::whereHasRelated($participant)->first(); // guess relationship based on class name and get id from model instance
