Laravel 多对多关系与附加数据透视表

Question

I am having a users table:

CREATE TABLE `users` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(191) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `users_name_unique` (`name`)
) ;

and then user_roles table which is defined like this:

if (!Schema::hasTable('user_roles')) {
            Schema::create('user_roles', function (Blueprint $table) {
                $table->increments('id');
                $table->string('role');
                $table->timestamps();
                $table->softDeletes();
            });
        }

and stores values such as actor , director etc

And a user_record pivot table:

if (!Schema::hasTable('user_record')) {
            Schema::create('user_record', function (Blueprint $table) {
                $table->integer('record_id')->unsigned();
                $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
                $table->integer('user_role_id')->unsigned();
                $table->string('character_name');
                $table->integer('ranking');
            });
        }

So, one Record has many User which has many User_Role for this Record .

All Ids in user_record are the foreign key to the respective fields.

Is this called a hasManyThrough relationship and if so how does the user_roles() in User model look like?

public function user_roles()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(UserRole::class, 'record_user', 'user_id', 'record_id');
}

Answer 1

No, you have got a typical simple Many To Many relationship here, with two tables and the third pivot that contains the id 's of the both.

And the relation should contain both id 's instead like :

public function user_roles()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(UserRole::class, 'user_record', 'user_id', 'user_role_id');
