This Laravel Eloquent extension allows merging multiple relationships using SQL views.
The relationships can target the same or different related models.
Supports Laravel 5.5+.
## Installation
composer require staudenmeir/laravel-merged-relations:"^1.0"
Use this command if you are in PowerShell on Windows (e.g. in VS Code):
composer require staudenmeir/laravel-merged-relations:"^^^^1.0"

### Use Cases
Use the package to merge multiple polymorphic relationships:
```php
class Tag extends Model
{
public function allTaggables()
{
// TODO
}
public function posts()
{
return $this->morphedByMany(Post::class, 'taggable');
}
public function videos()
{
return $this->morphedByMany(Video::class, 'taggable');
}
}
```
Or use it to merge relationships with different depths:
```php
class User extends Model
{
public function allComments()
{
// TODO
}
public function comments()
{
return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);
}
public function postComments()
{
return $this->hasManyThrough(Comment::class, Post::class);
}
}
```
### Step 1: Creating Views
Before you can define the new relationship, you need to create the merge view in a migration:
```php
use Staudenmeir\LaravelMergedRelations\Facades\Schema;
Schema::createMergeView(
'all_taggables',
[(new Tag)->posts(), (new Tag)->videos()]
);
```
By default, the view doesn't remove duplicates. Use `createMergeViewWithoutDuplicates()` to get unique results:
```php
use Staudenmeir\LaravelMergedRelations\Facades\Schema;
Schema::createMergeViewWithoutDuplicates(
'all_comments',
[(new User)->comments(), (new User)->postComments()]
);
```
You can also replace an existing view:
```php
use Staudenmeir\LaravelMergedRelations\Facades\Schema;
Schema::createOrReplaceMergeView(
'all_comments',
[(new User)->comments(), (new User)->postComments()]
);
```
The package includes [staudenmeir/laravel-migration-views](https://github.com/staudenmeir/laravel-migration-views). You
can use its methods to rename and drop views:
```php
use Staudenmeir\LaravelMergedRelations\Facades\Schema;
Schema::renameView('all_comments', 'user_comments');
Schema::dropView('all_comments');
```
If you are using `php artisan migrate:fresh`, you can drop all views with `--drop-views`.
### Step 2: Defining Relationships
With the view created, you can define the merged relationship.
Use the `HasMergedRelationships` trait in your model and provide the view name:
```php
class Tag extends Model
{
use \Staudenmeir\LaravelMergedRelations\Eloquent\HasMergedRelationships;
public function allTaggables(): \Staudenmeir\LaravelMergedRelations\Eloquent\Relations\MergedRelation
{
return $this->mergedRelation('all_taggables');
}
}
```
If all original relationships target the same related model, you can use `mergedRelationWithModel()`. This allows you to
access local scopes and use methods like `whereHas()` or `withCount()`:
```php
class User extends Model
{
use \Staudenmeir\LaravelMergedRelations\Eloquent\HasMergedRelationships;
public function allComments(): \Staudenmeir\LaravelMergedRelations\Eloquent\Relations\MergedRelation
{
return $this->mergedRelationWithModel(Comment::class, 'all_comments');
}
}
```
You can use the merged relationship like any other relationship:
```php
$taggables = Tag::find($id)->allTaggables()->latest()->paginate();
$users = User::with('allComments')->get();
```
### Pivot Table Data
You can retrieve additional pivot columns if your merge view consists of many-to-many relationships.
Add the desired pivot columns to _all_ relationships:
```php
use Staudenmeir\LaravelMergedRelations\Facades\Schema;
Schema::createMergeView(
'all_taggables',
[
(new Tag)->posts()->withPivot('tagged_at'),
(new Tag)->videos()->withPivot('tagged_at'),
]
);
$taggables = Tag::find($id)->allTaggables;
foreach ($taggables as $taggable) {
dump($taggable->pivot->tagged_at);
}
```
### Limitations
In the original relationships, it's currently not possible to limit the selected columns or apply `withCount()`.
In the merged relationships, it's not possible to remove global scopes like `SoftDeletes`. They can only be removed in
the original relationships.
### Testing
If you use PHPUnit or a similar tool to run tests, add this property to your base test class to ensure that database
views are dropped when the test database is cleaned up:
```php
protected bool $dropViews = true;
```
