I've just started using Eloquent ORM (Without Laravel) and I am having issues with the many to many relationships. I have a table where I store Families
(Article categories), another one for the Articles
, and a third one as a "pivot". I want to be able to get all the articles a Family has, and all the families an article belongs to. So I have coded this models.
Families
class Families extends Model {
public $table = 'Families';
public function Articles() {
return $this->belongsToMany('Articles', 'articles_families', 'families_id', 'articles_id');
}
}
Articles
class Articles extends Model {
public $table = 'Articles';
public function Families() {
return $this->belongsToMany('Families', null, 'articles_id', 'families_id');
}
}
Then I am trying to retrieve the data like this:
$families = Families::all();
echo $families[1]->Articles;
However, it just returns an empty array, when it should return a couple of articles. I have tripled checked that all the values are correct in the three tables. If I echo the Eloquent query debugger I can see that it is looking for a null value and I'm pretty sure that's the problem, but I don't quite know how to fix it. Here:
{"query":"select * from `Families`","bindings":[],"time":49.13},{"query":"select `Articles`.*, `articles_families`.`families_id` as `pivot_families_id`, `articles_families`.`articles_id` as `pivot_articles_id` from `Articles` inner join `articles_families` on `Articles`.`id` = `articles_families`.`articles_id` where `articles_families`.`families_id` is null","bindings":[],"time":38.93}
The null value is at the end of the last query.
I just found the solution myself. As my primary key columns are called Id
, and Eloquent by default assumes the primary key is called id
, I needed to override that by adding a class property protected $primaryKey = "Id";
and it now retrieves the data properly.
