Laravel one to many relationships is based work on the one table row connected with multiple tables rows. For example, the category has multiple products.
Setting Database Configuration
After complete installation of laravel. we have to database configuration. now we will open the .env file and change the database name, username, password in the .env file. See below changes in a .env file.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(one_to_many_relation) DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username(root) DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password(root) |
Create Table using migration
Now, We need to create a migration. so we will below command using create the categories and products table migration.
1 2 | php artisan make:migration create_categories_table --create=categories php artisan make:migration create_products_table --create=products |
After complete migration. we need below changes in the database/migrations/create_categories_table and database/migrations/create_products_table file.
.
create_categories_table.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 | <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration; class CreateCategoriesTable extends Migration { /** * Run the migrations. * * @return void */ public function up() { Schema::create('categories', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->bigIncrements('id'); $table->string('name'); $table->timestamps(); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @return void */ public function down() { Schema::dropIfExists('categories'); } } ?> |
create_products_table.php
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 | <?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration; class CreateProductsTable extends Migration { /** * Run the migrations. * * @return void */ public function up() { Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->bigIncrements('id'); $table->integer('category_id')->unsigned(); $table->string('title'); $table->timestamps(); $table->foreign('category_id')->references('id')->on('categories')->onDelete('cascade'); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @return void */ public function down() { Schema::dropIfExists('products'); } } ?> |
