I use L8 And I have a category
table ,it has parent_id
for my subcategories
categories table
Category model
categoryController
SubCategoryController
categories.blade
sub_categories.blade
In my subcategory-index.blade.php
I want to show categories but I just can show them with their id (parent id)
I don't know how to show categories title instead of their id.
I have this migration for categories table :
public function up()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('categories');
Schema::create('categories', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->unsignedBigInteger('parent_id')->default(123);
$table->string('title');
$table->longText('description');
$table->tinyInteger('status')->comment('status is 1 when a category is active and it is 0 otherwise.')->nullable();
$table->rememberToken();
$table->softDeletes();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
and this is my category model :
class Category extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $fillable = [
'parent_id','title' , 'description', 'status',
];
public function children(){
return $this->hasMany(Category::class , 'parent_id');
}
public function post(){
return $this->hasMany(Post::class);
}
}
And my subcategory controller :
...
public function index()
{
$parent_id = Category::with('parent_id')->get();
$subcategories = Category::where('parent_id' ,'!=', 123)->get();
return view('admin.subcategories.subcategories-index' , compact('subcategories'));
}
...
And the part for show subcategory title in category-index.blade.php :
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>id</th>
<th>title</th>
<th>category</th>
<th>status</th>
<th>operation</th>
</tr>
@foreach($subcategories as $subcategory )
<tr>
<td>{{ $loop->iteration }}</td>
<td>{{ $subcategory['id'] }}</td>
<td>{{ $subcategory['title'] }}</td>
<td>{{ $subcategory['parent_id']}}</td>
<td>
@if($subcategory['status']==0 or $subcategory['status']==NULL)
inactive
@else
active
@endif
</td>
<td>
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('subcategory.destroy',$subcategory->id) }}">
<a class="btn btn-info" href="{{ route('subcategory.show' , $subcategory->id) }}">show</a>
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="{{ route('subcategory.edit' , $subcategory->id) }}">edit</a>
@csrf
@method('DELETE')
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger"> delete</button>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</table>
Thanks for telling me what to do :>
To get subcategories
$sub_categories = Category::whereNotNull('parent_id')->get();
To get sub-categories with parent
$sub_categories_with_parent = Category::with('parent')->whereNotNull('parent_id')->get();
To fetch categories
$categories = Category::whereNull('parent_id')->get();
To fetch categories with children
$categories_with_childern = Category::with('children')->whereNull('parent_id')->get();
You might have to redefine your relations as well:
public function parent()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);
}
public function children()
{
return $this->hasMany(Category::class , 'parent_id');
}
In migration define relation as well
$table->foreign('parent_id')->references('id')->on('categories')->onUpdate('cascade')->onDelete('cascade');
Make parent field nullable
$table->unsignedBigInteger('parent_id')->nullable()->default(123);
