Get array of Eloquent model's relations

Question

I\'m trying to get an array of all of my model\'s associations. I have the following model:

class Article extends Eloquent 
{
    protected $guarded = array(         


        

Answer 1

use this:

class Article extends Eloquent 
{
    protected $guarded = array();

    public static $rules = array();

    public $relationships = array('Author', 'Category');

    public function author() {
        return $this->belongsTo('Author');
    }

    public function category() {
        return $this->belongsTo('Category');
    }
}

So outside the class you can do something like this:

public function articleWithAllRelationships()
{
    $article = new Article;
    $relationships = $article->relationships;
    $article = $article->with($relationships)->first();
}
