Laravel combined where clause

Question

I would like to fetch all users which have one role or another. I have tried like this and it doesn't work:

$dentist = Role::where('name', 'dentist')->orWhere('name', 'local_admin')->first()->users()->where('clinic_id', $user->clinic_id)->get();

$dentist = Role::where('name', ['dentist', 'local_admin')->first()->users()->where('clinic_id', $user->clinic_id)->get();

$dentist = Role::whereIn('name', ['dentist', 'local_admin')->first()->users()->where('clinic_id', $user->clinic_id)->get();

Is there a simple solution for this?

Answer 1

You have to define the relationship Role hasMany users then you can access users with with

$dentist = Role::with(['users' => function($query){
    $query->where('clinic_id', $user->clinic_id);
  })])
  ->where('name', 'dentist')
  ->orWhere('name', 'local_admin')
  ->first();

This would go in you Role model

/**
 * Get the users for the role.
 */
public function users()
{
    return $this->hasMany(User::class);
}

This would go in your User model

/**
 * Get the role the user.
 */
public function role()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(Role::class);
}
