Hello guys, So in this article we will learn how to use One To Many Relationships in Laravel. In Laravel, relationships are defined within the model classes. Let’s consider a scenario where we have a User model and a Post model. A user can have multiple posts, so we’ll set up a one-to-many relationship between them.
#1 Create a Laravel project
- Okay, then let’s create a fresh new Laravel project.
|
1 |
composer create-project laravel/laravel --prefer-dist laravel |
#2 Make Post Model and Migration
|
1 |
php artisan make:model Post -m |
The above command will create a Post model inside the app/Models folder and a migration file inside the database/migration folder.
Now you can update your User model, Post model, and migration files accordingly as below.

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 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 |
<?php namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable; use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable; use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany; class User extends Authenticatable { use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable; /** * The attributes that are mass assignable. * * @var array<int, string> */ protected $fillable = [ 'name', 'email', 'password', ]; /** * The attributes that should be hidden for serialization. * * @var array<int, string> */ protected $hidden = [ 'password', 'remember_token', ]; /** * The attributes that should be cast. * * @var array<string, string> */ protected $casts = [ 'email_verified_at' => 'datetime', 'password' => 'hashed', ]; /** * Get the all user posts. */ public function posts(): HasMany { return $this->hasMany(Post::class); } } |

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 |
<?php namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo; class Post extends Model { use HasFactory; /** * The attributes that are mass assignable. * * @var array<int, string> */ protected $fillable = [ 'title', 'body', 'user_id', ]; /** * Get the user that owns the post. */ public function user(): BelongsTo { return $this->belongsTo(User::class); } } |
|
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 |
<?php use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration; use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; return new class extends Migration { /** * Run the migrations. */ public function up(): void { Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->id(); $table->string('title'); $table->text('body'); $table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id'); $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade'); $table->timestamps(); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. */ public function down(): void { Schema::dropIfExists('posts'); } }; |
# Make Seeder
|
1 2 3 |
php artisan make:seeder UsersTableSeeder php artisan make:seeder PostsTableSeeder |
Now update your both seeder as below.
|
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 |
<?php namespace Database\Seeders; use Illuminate\Database\Seeder; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash; class UsersTableSeeder extends Seeder { /** * Run the database seeds. */ public function run(): void { DB::table('users')->insert([ [ 'name' => 'John Doe', 'password' => Hash::make('password123'), ], [ 'name' => 'Jane Smith', 'password' => Hash::make('password456'), ], ]); } } |
|
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 |
<?php namespace Database\Seeders; use Illuminate\Database\Seeder; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; class PostsTableSeeder extends Seeder { /** * Run the database seeds. */ public function run(): void { $faker = \Faker\Factory::create(); for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) { DB::table('posts')->insert([ 'title' => $faker->sentence, 'body' => $faker->paragraph, 'user_id' => rand(1, 2), // Assuming user IDs 1 and 2 exist in the users table ]); } } } |
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
<?php namespace Database\Seeders; use Illuminate\Database\Seeder; class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder { /** * Seed the application's database. */ public function run(): void { $this->call([ UsersTableSeeder::class, PostsTableSeeder::class ]); } } |
Now run the below command
|
1 |
php artisan db:seed |
# Create PostController
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller PostController |
Now update PostController like the below.
|
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 33 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use App\Models\User; use App\Models\Post; class PostController extends Controller { public function users() { // Get user along with his post. $user = User::with('posts')->find(1); // suppose user id is (1). /* Let's suppose you want to get user post then you have to use $post->users */ return response()->json($user); } public function posts() { // Get post along with his user. $post = Post::with('users')->find(2); // Suppose post id is (2). /* Let's suppose you want to get user email then you have to use $post->users->name */ return response()->json($post); } } |
# Make Route
For that simply go to web.php inside the Routes folder and update the file like below.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Http\Controllers\PostController; /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Web Routes |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These | routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider and all of them will | be assigned to the "web" middleware group. Make something great! | */ Route::get('/users', [PostController::class, 'users']); Route::get('/posts', [PostController::class, 'posts']); |
Now simply run the below command.
|
1 |
php artisan serve |
Now you can simply check the output in the browser by hitting the above routes.
