I am working with laravel API and using model relationship and resource to get data, I don't know where is the problem that it gives such kind of error, I searched and tried the solutions, but the problem is still alive.
This is my controller function:-
public function show(Question $question)
{
return new QuestionResource($question);
}
This is the question model:-
class Question extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $guarded = [];
public function getRouteKeyName()
{
return 'slug';
}
public function user(){
return $this->belongsTo (User::class, 'user_id');
}
}
This is the user model:-
public function question(){
return $this->hasMany(\App\Models\Question::class);
}
And this is the QuestionResource function:-
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
'title'=> $this->title,
'slug'=>$this->slug,
'body'=>$this->body,
'created_at'=>$this->created_at->diffForHumans(),
'updated_at'=>$this->updated_at->diffForHumans(),
'user_name'=>$this->user->name,
];
}
This is the question table:-
public function up()
{
Schema::create('questions', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('title');
$table->string('slug');
$table->text('body');
$table->integer('category_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
I believe the solution is in the title — property "name" of null. You most likely do not have a user assigned to the Question model, so $this->user
is null
.
'user_name' => $this->user->name
You might consider checking that a user exists first and setting a default value if it does not.
'user_name' => $this->user ? $this->user->name : ''
