Problem with Polymorphic relations

Hello,

I started using polymorphic relations in my project and I got stuck!

In this case, I have 3 tables.

Project - id

Job (Polymorphic table) - project_id - job_id - job_type

InstallationJob - id - date

What kind of relation I need to my Project model to make new InstallationJob Entity? Example: $project = new Project;

$project->job()->save(new InstallationJob);

Atm I have: class Project {

public function job() { return $this->hasMany(Job::class); } }

which returns all type of Jobs. But is not working for creating new Installation Job

Your relationships are most likely wrong.

If Job is your polymorphic relationship then they should be

class Job extends Model 
{
    // think of a better general name for the polymorphic name.
    public function jobable() 
    {
        return $this->morphTo('jobable');
    }
}

class InstallationJob extends Model 
{
    
    public function jobs() 
    {
        return $this->morphMany(Job::class, 'jobable');
    }
}

class  Project extends Model 
{
    
    public function jobs() 
    {
        return $this->morphMany(Job::class, 'jobable');
    }
}
