i'm developping a social app using React in the frontend and laravel in the backend. I'm trying to receive all posts with their likes,users,comments. I have these relation ships: 1/ User model has many posts and Post model belongs to a user. 2/ Post model has many likes 3/ Post model has many comments and one comment belongs to a user. When getting all posts back, im succefully getting its likes and users information, but for comments i wanna get the user's comment. So i did $posts->comments->user->user_name And then, i got the error: Property [user] does not exist on this collection instance. But when i tried to get comments infos, it worked normally($posts->comments) My comment relation in Post model:
public function comments()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Comment');
}
My user relation in Comment Model:
public function user()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\User');
}
My method in PostController when i'm trying to get all posts:
public function allPosts()
{
$posts = Post::with('user','likes','comments')->get();
if($posts->count() < 1) {
return response()->json([
'success' => false,
'message' => 'There are no posts!'
]);
}else {
return response()->json([
'success' => true,
'data' => PostResource::collection($posts),
'message' => 'Succefully retreived all posts!'
]);
}
}
As you noticed i'm sending the Data through a Resource, so My PostResource's method :
public function toArray($request)
{
// return parent::toArray($request);
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'user_id' => $this->user_id,
'content' => $this->content,
'image_path' => $this->image_path,
'user' => $this->user,
'likes' => $this->likes->count(),
'isLiked' => $this->likes->where('user_id', auth()->user()->id)->isEmpty() ? false : true,
'comment_user' => $this->comments->user->user_name,
'created_at' => $this->created_at->format('d/m/y'),
'updated_at' => $this->updated_at->format('d/m/y')
];
}
As i said, everything is okey, just for comment_user it says:Property [user] does not exist on this collection instance, and when i tried to get only comments info it worked:
'comments' => $this->comments,
Any help please? and thnx in advance.
