How to filter a pivot table using Eloquent?
I'm using a pivot table on the project I'm working with to get works of users.
E.g: User::find(1)->works gives me the works of user with ID of 1.
The thing is that I want to filter this results with extra Pivot data.
Something like:
User::find(1)->works->pivot->where('active',1)->get();
In which the active is the column I've set in my user_works pivot table.
This is my related part of my User.php model:
<?php
class User extends Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\Eloquent\User {
public function works() {
return $this->belongsToMany('Work','user_works')->withPivot('active')->withTimestamps();
}
}
This is my related part of my Work.php model:
<?php
class Work extends Eloquent {
public function users() {
return $this->belongsToMany('User','user_works')->withPivot('active')->withTimestamps();
}
}
This is my pivot table schema:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
class CreateUserWorksTable extends Migration {
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('user_works', function(Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned()->default(0);
$table->integer('work_id')->unsigned()->default(0);
$table->enum('active',array('0','1'))->default(1);
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreign('work_id')->references('id')->on('works')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::drop('user_works');
}
}
Is there any way to gain the data without making a new model for the pivot table?
Thanks in advance,
Edit: I can filter this way:
return User::find(1)->works()->where('user_works.active','=','1')->get();
I had to type table name raw. But is there a better way to gain this without using it?
