Dynamic Relations

kenmonster

In my custom module I am trying to create a dynamic relation between my custom model and the user model....

I have the following in my module's config

'User' => [
        'insuree' => function ($self) {
            return $this->belongsTo('Modules\Brokerquotes\Entities\Insuree', 'id', 'user_id')->first();
        },
        'insurer' => function ($self) {
            return $this->belongsTo('Modules\Brokerquotes\Entities\Insurer', 'id', 'user_id')->first();
        }
    ],

in the User's config I have the following

'relations' => [
//        'extension' => function ($self) {
//            return $self->belongsTo(UserExtension::class, 'user_id', 'id')->first();
//        }
       'insuree' => function ($self) {
            return $this->belongsTo('Modules\Brokerquotes\Entities\Insuree', 'id', 'user_id')->first();
        },
        'insurer' => function ($self) {
            return $this->belongsTo('Modules\Brokerquotes\Entities\Insurer', 'id', 'user_id')->first();
        },
    ],

However if I

$user->insuree

I get a null value....Was there anything else to implement in order to setup dynamic relations for module models?

When using built in relationships you don't need the get() or first() methods.

Also you can see $self is being passed in. $this is out of context you want to use $self.

return $self->belongsTo(\Modules\Brokerquotes\Entities\Insurer::class, 'user_id', 'id');

Hi,

Yes, pretty much what @Demaestro said.
It's valid to retrieve the result of the builder, but I would not advise since you loose chain options later on.

return $self->belongsTo(\Modules\Brokerquotes\Entities\Insurer::class, 'user_id', 'id');

@armababy @Demaestro I'm using v3.x version and was told that $this is being resolved ot the proper context. I have sinced removed the parameter but still run into the problem

Solved by remove $self parameter and calling $user->profile() and not $user->profile
