Laravel get many objects in one object - mysql

Question

I have to make this JSON response which every product has colors and each color has many images
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "shirt",
"descriptions": "lorem epsum",
"colors":[
{
"color_name":"red",
"icon":"1.jpeg",
"images": [
{
"url": "1.png"
},
{
"url": "2.png"
},
{
"url": "3.jpeg"
}
]
},
{
"color_name":"blue",
"icon":"1.png",
"images": [
{
"url": "1.png"
},
{
"url": "2.png"
},
{
"url": "3.png"
}
]
}
]
}
]
How can I make the colors using eloquent relationships?
how many tables and columns with foreign keys should I create?

Answer 1

Here you've to make three tables
products -> Product.php(Model name)
id
name
descriptions
created_at
updated_at
colors -> Color.php(Model name)
id
product_id
color_name
created_at
updated_at
3) images -> Image(Model name)
id
color_id
url
created_at
updated_at
Three model with relationship.
Product.php Model
class Product extends Model
{
protected $table = "products";
//get colors
public function colors(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Color','product_id','id');
}
}
Color.php Model
class Color extends Model
{
protected $table = "colors";
//get product
public function product(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Product','product_id','id');
}
//get images
public function images(){
return $this->hasMany('App\Image','color_id','id');
}
}
Image.php Model
class Color extends Model
{
protected $table = "images";
//get color
public function color(){
return $this->belongsTo('App\Color','color_id','id');
}
}
Now from product model you can access this colors and images
Controller
$products = App\Product::with('colors.images')->get();
return \Response::json($products->toArray());
