laravel auto resolve polymorphic many to many.md

• follow https://laravel.com/docs/master/eloquent-relationships#many-to-many-polymorphic-relations except Defining The Inverse Of The Relationship, instead we will use the below

• thanx to setup oneToMany relation between tag & taggable

under taggable model

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphPivot;

class Taggable extends MorphPivot
{
    protected $table = 'taggables';

    /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
    /*                                  RELATIONS                                 */
    /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

    public function tag()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Tag::class);
    }

    public function related()
    {
        return $this->morphTo(__FUNCTION__, 'taggable_type', 'taggable_id');
    }
}

under tag model

<?php

class Tag extends Model
{
    protected $with = ['taggables.related'];
    
    /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
    /*                                  RELATIONS                                 */
    /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

    public function taggables()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Taggable::class);
    }
    
    /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
    /*                                  ACCESSORS                                 */
    /* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

    public function getRelatedModelsAttribute()
    {
        return $this->taggables->groupBy('taggable_type');
    }
}

under the related model

<?php

public function tags()
{
    return $this->morphToMany(Tag::class, 'taggable')
                ->using(Taggable::class);
}

now use it like

Tag::first()->related_models;

update related method according to docs as with plain $this->morphTo() we would get null instead

use MorphPivot instead of Model according to docs so we can have model events ex.

/**
* Bootstrap the model and its traits.
*
* @return void
*/
public static function booted)
{
  static::saving(function ($model) {
      // ...
  });
}

update getRelatedModelsAttribute to only groupBy so the eager load works correctly/efficiently. so we dont make a db request for each tag to find its related models.

instead now you will find your model under the group value->related

Nice one, thanks a lot @ctf0
