Where NOT in pivot table

Question

In Laravel we can setup relationships like so:

class User {
    public function items()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany(\'Item\');
    }
}
         


        

Answer 1

this should work for you

$someuser = Auth::user();     

$someusers_items = $someuser->related()->lists('item_id');

$all_items = Item::all()->lists('id');

$someuser_doesnt_have_items = array_diff($all_items, $someusers_items);
