    <p>I'm trying to learn Laravel and right now I'm experimenting with Eloquent. I've got the following case that I can't solve right now:</p> <p>Let's say I'm creating a webshop, so I have products (Product 1, Product 2, etc):</p> <pre><code>+-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | name | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | | | slug | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | | | description | text | NO | | NULL | | | price | decimal(5,2) | NO | | NULL | | | active | tinyint(4) | NO | | 1 | | | created_at | timestamp | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | | updated_at | timestamp | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ </code></pre> <p>Those products are sorted into Taxonomies (Brand, Color, Department):</p> <pre><code>+-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | name | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | | | slug | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | | | description | text | NO | | NULL | | | created_at | timestamp | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | | updated_at | timestamp | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ </code></pre> <p>These taxonomies have terms (Nike, Adidas, Red, Green, Boys, Girls):</p> <pre><code>+-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | taxonomy_id | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | name | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | | | slug | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | | | description | text | NO | | NULL | | | created_at | timestamp | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | | updated_at | timestamp | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ </code></pre> <p>And last I have a pivot table to connect the terms to the products:</p> <pre><code>+------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ | id | int(10) unsigned | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | product_id | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | term_id | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | created_at | timestamp | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | | updated_at | timestamp | NO | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | +------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------------+ </code></pre> <p>I've created models for Product, Taxonomy and Term like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php class Product extends Eloquent { public function terms() { return $this-&gt;belongsToMany('Term', 'product_terms', 'product_id', 'term_id'); } } &lt;?php class Taxonomy extends Eloquent { public function terms() { return $this-&gt;hasMany('Term'); } } &lt;?php class Term extends Eloquent { public function taxonomy() { return $this-&gt;belongsTo('Taxonomy'); } } </code></pre> <p>Now I want to do the following, I want to get all the products, loop over them and show something like the name, description and price. Well, a simple <code>$products = Product::all();</code> is all I need. Then, when I loop over the products, I know I can do something like <code>$product-&gt;terms</code> to get all the terms. But how should a get the term of a given taxonomy. So for example something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo $product-&gt;term('brand'); // Where 'brand' is the taxonomy name of the term I want to get echo $product-&gt;term('color'); // Where 'color' is the taxonomy name of the term I want to get </code></pre> <p>Hope someone can help me. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
