This package is meant to provide its users with an API to accessing relationships that aren't included in Laravel's base installation. It achieves this effect by utilizing a trait which in turn instantiates custom relationship classes which rely on Laravel's relationship scaffolding.
class Employee extends Model {
public function tasks()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(Task::class);
}
public function boss()
{
return $this->belongsTo(Boss::class);
}
}
class Boss extends Model {
use Shomisha\UnusualRelationships\HasUnusualRelationships;
public function employees()
{
return $this->hasMany(Employee::class);
}
public function tasks()
{
return $this->belongsToManyThrough(Task::class, Employee::class)
}
}
The example above shows how you can use the belongsToManyThrough relationship to connect your model to its distantly related models.
