(Laravel) Join 3 or more tables using "Eloquent Relationships" - mysql

Question

I'm trying to join 3 tables using eloquent relationships, but it doesn't give the expected results.
Shipment model
class Shipment extends Model
{
protected $table = 'ccctadm.Shipment';
public function customergroupcode()
{
return $this->hasMany(DocumentRuleSet::class,'customergroupcode','customergroupcode');
}
public function shipmentcategory()
{
return $this->hasMany(DocumentRuleSet::class,'shipmentcategory','shipmentcategory');
}
public function status()
{
return $this->hasMany(DocumentRuleSet::class,'status','status');
}
}
to get the data i'm using this code
$shipment_data = Shipment::With(['customergroupcode' , 'shipmentcategory','status'])->
Where('shipment_cycle','!=','closed')->get();
I'm trying to make it equivalent to this query
select B.rulesetname,B.icon ,COUNT(*)As Total from
[ccct].[ccctadm]. [Shipment] A INNER JOIN
[ccct].[ccctadm].[documentruleset] B
ON
A.customergroupcode = B.customergroupcode AND A.shipmentcategory =
B.shipmentcategory AND A.status = B.status INNER
JOIN [ccctadm].[shipassign] S ON A.id = S.shipmentid AND
A.shipment_cycle != 'closed' GROUP BY rulesetname,B.icon
The first query returns all the data in 3 tables, but when the second one returns Release only and this what I want
I only want the data that has relation among these three tables not everything
What I'm doing wrong ?

Answer 1

Use has() method. It limits the records based on existence of the relationship.
$shipment_data = Shipment::has('customergroupcode' , 'shipmentcategory','status')->
Where('shipment_cycle','!=','closed')->get();
