Voyager: How do I properly output data from a field with a relationship using blade?

Created on 18 Feb 2017 · 7Comments · Source: the-control-group/voyager

Hey, guys.

I am having a problem trying to call a data field with a relationship using blade. I have followed the steps mentioned in the documentation (https://the-control-group.github.io/voyager/docs/v0.10/#core-concepts-bread-relationships) still with no luck. I did exactly as instructed, but on my 'posts' table.

In a page I have a blade @foreach that displays the post fields. All the fields output data as expected, except the post author. I am calling the field using {{ $posts->authorId()->name }} and I get the following error:

Undefined property: Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo::$name (View: /home/anderson/atom-projects/planeta-gundam/resources/views/blog/index.blade.php)

Am I doing something wrong? I'm using the latest version of Voyager (0.10.15) and Laravel 5.3. Thanks.

I was way off track with this. I wanted to do this on my front end, not in my admin. After reading the documentation, I created two functions in my Post model:

public function author()
{
      return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}

public function category()
{
      return $this->belongsTo(Category::class);
}

Then on my front end template I called {{ $post->author->name }} and... Voila! it worked.
I assumed that what the documentation showed would also work on the frontend, but its sole purpose is to make stuff come up in the dropdowns in the admin. Lesson learned. Thanks for your help.

Please read the Laravel documentations about relationships.

{{ $post->authorId()->first()->name }}

i don't think you need to add the custom functions now you can $post->authorid->name simply now

I have this problem too, I am new in voyager 1.0 and laravel 5.5.*, I solved in this way

in web.php

Route::get('/posts', function () {
$posts = TCG\Voyager\Models\Post::all();
return view('posts', compact('posts'));
});

Route::get('post/{slug}', function($slug){
$post = TCG\Voyager\Models\Post::where('slug', '=', $slug)->firstOrFail();
return view('post', compact('post'));
});

and use in view
