如何在laravel中的单个查询中从多个表中选择多个列？

Question

I am writing function to search multiple columns from many tables like users table and product tables,here is how i am trying

Route::post ( '/search', function () {
$q = Input::get ( 'q' );
$user = DB::table('users')->where ( 'name', 'LIKE', '%' . $q . '%' )->orWhere ( 'email', 'LIKE', '%' . $q . '%' )->get ();
if (count ( $user ) > 0)
    return view ( 'welcome' )->withDetails ( $user )->withQuery ( $q );
else
    return view ( 'welcome' )->withMessage ( 'No Details found. Try to search again !' );

this is only for selecting many columns but only one table which is users table, but i have another table which is product tables and product_name column is there. So i want to include it in search query. which method should i use, aggregate method or union method? i tried some possible methods, but no luck yet. Please guide me.Thanks.

Answer 1

Here is something. (i have assumed some points as you have user with id 1 and product with id 1)

1) Union Method:

$users= \App\User::FindOrFail(1);
$productsWithUsers = \App\Products::where(['id'=>1])->union($table1)->get();

Now $productsWithUsers have all the columns from User and Product
