I have categories related to each other in a tree. Each category hasMany
children. Each end category hasMany
products.
The products also belongsToMany
different types.
I want to eager load the categories with their children and with the products but I also want to put a condition that the products are of a certain type.
This is how my categories Model looks like
public function children()
{
return $this->hasMany('Category', 'parent_id', 'id');
}
public function products()
{
return $this->hasMany('Product', 'category_id', 'id');
}
The Product Model
public function types()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(type::class, 'product_type');
}
In my database I have four tables: category, product, type, and product_type
I've tried eager loading like so but it loads all the products and not just the ones that fulfil the condition:
$parentLineCategories = ProductCategory::with('children')->with(['products'=> function ($query) {
$query->join('product_type', 'product_type.product_id', '=', 'product.id')
->where('product_type.type_id', '=', $SpecificID);
}]])->get();
