Get records with last child record

Question

I have a Sites model which hasMany Posts .

I would like to know whats the most efficient eloquent query to return all Site records along with the 1 (most recent) Post record.

I have tried using this in my Sites modal but it returns all Posts which is not what I want.

public function lastPost()
{
      return $this->hasMany('App\Post')->last();
}

Another issue I am having is trying to print a single column in my view. {{ $site->lastPack->name }} returns

$name undefined property

... despite this being a valid column in my Post model.

Answer 1

Change Your lastPost relationship to hasOne like so:

public function lastPost()
{
    return $this->hasOne('App\Post')->latest('id');
}
