To connect 3 tables with a pivot table in Laravel, you can use Laravel's built-in Eloquent ORM relationships. Here's how you can do it:
- Define your Eloquent models for each table:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 |
class User extends Model
{
public function roles()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Role::class, 'user_roles');
}
}
class Role extends Model
{
public function permissions()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Permission::class, 'role_permissions');
}
}
class Permission extends Model
{
public function roles()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Role::class, 'role_permissions');
}
}
|
- Define the pivot tables in your migration files:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
Schema::create('user_roles', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id');
$table->unsignedBigInteger('role_id');
$table->timestamps();
$table->primary(['user_id', 'role_id']);
});
Schema::create('role_permissions', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->unsignedBigInteger('role_id');
$table->unsignedBigInteger('permission_id');
$table->timestamps();
$table->primary(['role_id', 'permission_id']);
});
|
- Use the relationships in your controllers or anywhere else in your application:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
$user = User::find(1);
$userRoles = $user->roles;
foreach ($userRoles as $role) {
$permissions = $role->permissions;
foreach ($permissions as $permission) {
echo $permission->name;
}
}
|
By defining these relationships in your models and setting up the pivot tables, you can easily connect 3 tables using a pivot table in Laravel.
