How to get latest eloquent relationship by column name in Laravel



I am building a small application on Laravel 5.6 where I am having two models Project and Status. In this I am having a relation as such:


Laravel 5.6


Project


Status



In Project Model I am having:


public function statusUpdate()

return $this->hasMany('AppStatus','project_id','id');




and to retrieve latest status I have:


public function latestStatus()

return $this->hasOne('AppStatus','project_id','id')->latest();



In status I have columns: date, status, sub_status, comments.


date


status


sub_status


comments



I want to retrieve Status where I am having latest status by date mentioned in the column


Status


latest status


date



I tried doing this in my model:


public function latestStatus()

return $this->hasOne('AppStatus','project_id','id')->latest('date');



But this thing is not working out, help me out in this. Thanks



edit



I am using this relation in eager loading something like this:


Project::when( $request->name , function( $q) use( $request )
$q->where('name', 'like', '%' . $request->name .'%');
)->with('latestStatus')
->orderBy($request->sort_by_col, $request->order_by)
->paginate(30);





How are you using latestStatus()? With eager loading?

You can use orderBy in the relationship.


public function latestStatus()

return $this->hasOne('AppStatus','project_id','id')->orderBy('date', 'desc');



Try it out.





This has hasOne relation will it order by date in desc?

hasOne


order


date


desc





@NitishKumar Yes, It will.

->orderBy('date', 'desc') is equivalent to ->latest('date').

->orderBy('date', 'desc')


->latest('date')





@JonasStaudenmeir I didn't know that. When I tried latest('date') it's not working. I don't know what's wrong with latest('date') but orderBy('date', 'desc') is working for me.

latest('date')


latest('date')


orderBy('date', 'desc')



You got your models wrong. This is what should be in the Project model


public function statuses() //plural because a project has many statuses

return $this->hasMany('AppStatus','id','project_id');



If you want the latest status, call this in your controller:


Project::where('name', 'like', "%$request->name%")->with('statuses', function($q)
return $q->orderBy('date', $request->order_by);
)->paginate(30);



If you want the latest project where the status has changed, first the Status model:


public function project()

return $this->hasOne('AppProject','project_id','id');



And in your controller:


$project = Status::latest()->first()->project;





You misunderstood the whole question. I want project with latest status as relation. I don't want the latest status with projects. Please go through my question once again.

Add first to the end of the query.


first


public function latestStatus()

return $this->hasOne('AppStatus','project_id','id')->latest()->first();



This is how it works


statusUpdate


latest


first


limit 1





first() method doesn't add limit 1 to the query. First is retrieve all the record and then return the first one.

@RutvijKothari, no, first() from the query builder does add limit 1. get()->first() would be what you're thinking of. However, this answer does not answer the question, it actually limits functionality because it is no longer returning a relationship.

get()->first()





@Devon Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate that. :) I thought first() works like this get()->first() but good to know that.
