I have retrieved an instance of a product item at blade, so when I do dd($product), I get this result:
And the Product Model is connected to GroupProduct Model like this:
public function groupproducts()
{
return $this->hasMany(GroupProduct::class,'product_id','id');
}
So at group_product table, the product has a custom group_id like this:
So when I do dd($product->groupproducts); I get this result properly:
Then at the Model GroupProduct, I’ve added these two relationships:
public function product()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Product::class,'product_id','id');
}
public function group()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Group::class,'group_id','id');
}
Now I need to access the name of the group that comes with the retrieved product_id, but when I try this:
dd($product->groupproducts->group->name);
I get this error:
Property [group] does not exist on this collection instance.
However the relationships seems to be applied and it should be showing the name of group…
So what’s going wrong here? How can I fix this issue?
UPDATE #1:
Controller:
public function addAttribute(Product $product)
{
return view('admin.products.addAttribute', compact('product'));
}
>Solution :
$product->groupproducts is a collection(array) of products.
You can do:
dd($product->groupproducts->first()->group->name);
This will get first element from collection which is instance of Group class.
