Hi, I have a post with a hasMany relation with likes.

In my view I want to call foreach posts:

$post->getCountLikes()

in my Post model I have

public function getCountLikes()
{
	$likesForThis = $this->likes;
}

Now i get a Collection with 4 Like objects, but I want to take only the objects with liked column true.

Some helps?

Hi, I have a Tweet Model:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User;
use App\Models\Like;

class Tweet extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;


    protected $guarded = [];

    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }

    public function likes()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Like::class);
    }

}

The User Model:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
 use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use App\Models\Tweet;
use App\Http\Traits\Followable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasFactory, Notifiable, Followable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'slug',
        'avatar',
        'profile_cover',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
        'slug',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    public function timeline()
    {

        $ids = $this->follows->pluck('id');


        $ids->push($this->id);


        return Tweet::whereIn('user_id', $ids)->latest()->get();
    }

    public function tweets()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Tweet::class);
    }

    public function toProfile()
    {
        return route('profile', $this->slug);
    }

    public function showAvatar()
    {
        if ($this->avatar != '/images/avatar.png') {
            return '/storage/' . $this->avatar;
        }

        return $this->avatar;
    }

    public function showProfileCover()
    {
        if ($this->profile_cover != '/images/default-profile-cover.jpg') {
            return '/storage/' . $this->profile_cover;
        }

        return $this->profile_cover;
    }

    public function likes()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Like::class);
    }
}

And Like Model:

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Like extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }

    public function tweet()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Tweet::class);
    }

}

My Like table is:

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateLikesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('likes', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->foreignId('user_id');
            $table->foreignId('tweet_id');
            $table->boolean('liked'); // 0 for dislike, 1 for like
            $table->timestamps();

            $table->foreign('user_id')
                ->references('id')
                ->on('users')
                ->onDelete('cascade');

            $table->foreign('tweet_id')
            ->references('id')
            ->on('tweets')
            ->onDelete('cascade');
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('likes');
    }
}

I need to access in my view on $tweet->likes number, how can I?

TY

Ty, I miss it :(

Hi, why for the avatar the system make folder 'avatars' and change the path but for the profile_cover not?

    public function update(Request $request, User $user)
    {
        $validated = $request->validate(
            [
                "name" => "required|max:255",
                "avatar" => [Rule::requiredIf($user->avatar === null)],
                "profile_cover" => [Rule::requiredIf($user->profile_cover === null)],
                "password" => ["required", "min:8", "max:255", "confirmed"],
            ]
        );


        if ($request->hasFile('avatar')) {
            $validated['avatar'] = $request->file('avatar')->store('avatars', 'public');
        }
        if ($request->hasFile('pofile_cover')) {
            $validated['profile_cover'] = $request->file('profile_cover')->store('covers', 'public');
        }
        $validated['slug'] = Str::slug($request['name']);
        $validated['password'] = Hash::make($validated['password']);

        $user->update($validated);

        return redirect($user->toProfile());
    }

I found the solution:

Before the image is saved, it's important assign the new path with the store method.

$validated['avatar'] = $request->file('avatar')->store('avatars', 'public');

And after all can be assigned by mass assignment.

$validated['avatar'] = $request->file('avatar')->store('avatars', 'public');

I tried both ways

Actually the path showed is :

/storage/private/var/folders/kx/30_xckkd6bvg1h5lbc0ncwvc0000gn/T/php25tMsU

In the table the avatar column is:

/private/var/folders/kx/30_xckkd6bvg1h5lbc0ncwvc0000gn/T/php25tMsU

the view is:

Hi, I'm trying to upload an avatar for the user and save it with local storage, but I don't understand how. I make this validation:

    public function update(Request $request, User $user)
    {
        $validated = $request->validate(
            [
                "name" => "required|max:255",
                "avatar" => [Rule::requiredIf($user->avatar === null)],
                "password" => ["required", "min:8", "max:255", "confirmed"],
            ]
        );

        $validated['slug'] = Str::slug($request['name']);
        $validated['password'] = Hash::make($validated['password']);

       if ($validated['avatar']) {
           $validated['avatar']->store('avatars');
       }

        $user->update($validated);

        return redirect($user->toProfile());
    }

In my users table I have actually one default avatar:

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->string('avatar')->default('/images/avatar.png');
        });
    }

After the uplload of new avatar in the user column:

/private/var/folders/kx/30_xckkd6bvg1h5lbc0ncwvc0000gn/T/php7dz4vF

I make the storage link, now how can i retrieve this avatar? and how can i show the storage avatar only if is updated?

Hi I have this view:

<form action="{{route('toggle', $user->slug)}}" method="POST">
 	@csrf
 	<button class="bg-blue-500 rounded-xl text-white px-4 py-2 shadow" type="submit">							{{Auth::user()->following($user) ? 'Unfollow' : 'Follow'}}</button>
</form>

and this route:

Route::post('profile/{user:slug}/follow', [FollowsController::class, 'toggle'])->name('toggle');

I have created the controller but the system return:

Target class [FollowsController] does not exist.

Someone can help me?

Solved! Before I was using

use App\Models\User;

Next I changed it with

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User;

Solved! Before I was using

use App\Models\User;

Next I changed it with

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User;

It looks different because I making the project on Laravel 8

At first I go to the profile view:

    Route::get('profile/{user:slug}', [ProfileController::class, 'show'])->name('profile');

Next I search for a Tweets of that user and I pass a list of tweets and a user istance.

    public function show(User $user)
    {
        $tweets = Tweet::where('user_id', $user->id)->latest()->get();

        return view('profile', ['tweets' => $tweets, 'user' => $user]);
    }

In this view I have a button for check if current user follows o not the profile:

<button class="bg-blue-500 rounded-xl text-white px-4 py-2 shadow" type="submit">{{auth()->user()->following($user) ? 'Unfollow' : 'Follow'}}</button>

In the method following I have:

    public function following(User $user)
    {
        return $this->follows->contains($user);

    }

When I reload return:

App\Models\User::following(): Argument #1 ($user) must be of type App\Models\User, Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User given

Hi, I'm doing the final project of laravel 6 from scratch and in the lesson 62 when I pass a $user variable to the auth()->user()->following($user) method the system return App\Models\User::following(): Argument #1 ($user) must be of type App\Models\User, Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User given.

Someone help me pls?

I solved the problem in this way:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Tweet;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class ProfileController extends Controller
{
    public function show(User $user)
    {
        $tweets = Tweet::where('user_id', $user->id)->latest()->get();

        return view('profile', ['tweets' => $tweets, 'user' => $user]);
    }
}

But I don't understand why if I send the only user the system don't send anyway the relationship

        return $this->hasMany(Tweet::class);
    }

    public function follow(User $user)
    {
        return $this->follows()->save($user);
    }

    public function follows()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany(User::class, 'follows', 'user_id', 'following_user_id');
    }

}

This is the error:

foreach() argument must be of type array|object, null given

In this case from a bar of following users I want to click on the user and see his profile.

True, look at MichalOravec replies a little higher

In others views I can call:

{{ auth()->user()->tweets }}

And it works, but in this case not

this is all the user model:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use App\Models\Tweet;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasFactory, Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    public function timeline()
    {
        // Dell'utente attualmente loggato prendo gli id degli utenti che segue

        $ids = $this->follows->pluck('id');

        // alla collection che mi viene aggiungo l'id dell'attuale utente loggato.

        $ids->push($this->id);

        // richiamo tutti i tweets che hanno gli ids

        return Tweet::whereIn('user_id', $ids)->latest()->get();
    }

    public function tweets()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Tweet::class);
    }

    public function follow(User $user)
    {
        return $this->follows()->save($user);
    }

    public function follows()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany(User::class, 'follows', 'user_id', 'following_user_id');
    }

}

null

              @foreach ($user->tweets as $tweet)
                    <x-timeline :tweet="$tweet"></x-timeline>
                @endforeach

Because I have a relation beetwen users and tweets

    public function tweets()
    {
        return $this->hasMany(Tweet::class);
    }

This is my code:

<a href="{{route('profile', auth()->user()->slug)}}">Profile</a>

Route::get('/profile/{user:slug}', [ProfileController::class, 'show']);

public function show(User $user)
{
	return view('profile', ['user' => $user]);
}

Hi, this is my code:

<a href="{{route('profile', auth()->user()->slug)}}">Profile</a>

Route::get('/profile/{user:slug}', [ProfileController::class, 'show']);

public function show(User $user)
{
	return view('profile', ['user' => $user]);
}

Hi, I have a route get thath checks and query a slug column in user table. In my controller I have a User $user argument and i return a view with [‘user’ => $user] variable. In the view I have a foreach in which I pass the variable but the system return invalid argument. Some helps?

I make the modifies, now in my controller arrive a right user by slug, but when I send the user to the view: ['user' => $user] In the view at @foreach ($user->tweets as $tweet) The system return Invalid foreach argument, aspect array|object passed null

OK I tried to send the name after that in this way: route('profile', Str::slug($user->name)) But when the controller tries to do the query it doesn't find it results in something in the databaset doesn't match

Sorry let me explain.. At the moment when I click the link the get variable is:" Name Surname". I want to format the variable into:" name-surname" . To keep more user friendly

Hi, I send a user->name to get route:

                        <a href="{{route('profile', $user->name)}}">
                            <p class="text-sm">{{$user->name}}</p>
                        </a>

After that i bind a user model to the wildcard and query for a name:

Route::get('profile/{user:name}', [ProfileController::class, 'show'])->name('profile');

After all I would like to format the uri in this way name-of-user.

How can I do this?

How I can access to the avatar of each one user. At the moment in the timeline I got only the avatar of current logged in user

Hi, why in this code return $tweet is undefined??

        <div class="border border-gray-300 rounded-lg mt-6 py-4">
            @foreach ($tweets as $tweet)
                <x-tweet></x-tweet>
            @endforeach
        </div>

ok thanks, so i need two additionals columns in the users table for starting and ending the sub?

Spark is very good service but I would like to make it simple.

Hi, I have one table for some subscriptions plans for users. When the user chose the subscription I want to display the date of subscription and the expiration date, Any suggests?

Thanks!
