I have a Tab model which has a one-to-many polymorphic relationship with many other models including my User model. I've called this relationship customizers (because they customize a tab's content) and store them in a table called tab_customizers with customizer_id and customizer_type as relation-related columns. Because this relation also can have different types with the same model, I've included another column called relation_type.
For example, between my Tab and User models, there are 2 different relations:
- A
Usercan relate to aTabas itsauthor(if the related user write a post, it'll be displayed in the tab) - A
Usercan relate to aTabas its focusedmention(if the related user is mentioned in a post, it'll be displayed in the tab)
Here are my relations defined in the Tab model:
public function authors()
{
return $this->morphedByMany(User::class, 'customizer', 'tab_customizers')->where('relation_type', 'author');
}
public function mentions()
{
return $this->morphedByMany(User::class, 'customizer', 'tab_customizers')->where('relation_type', 'mention');
}
And here are my Nova fields in my Tab resource:
MorphedByMany::make('authors', User::class),
MorphedByMany::make('mentions', User::class),
Here is my issue: When I select a User model to attach it to mentions (actually to customizers with mention as its relation_type), it'll attach with author as relation_type. How can I make Nova distinguish between these 2 types?
Besides, I can't have a relation between Tab and User with author as relation_type and another with mention as relation_type at the same time. When I try (using tinker) to attach a relation of one of the types while a relation of the other type already exists, it will update the existing relationship and does not attach a new one.
