I'm trying to create polymorphic relationships in L5, but they're not working the same way they did in L4.
For example, I have an accounts table with owner_id and owner_type as my polymorph columns, in L4 the owner_type would be set as user and everything worked perfectly, however, in L5 the only way I can get it to work is to use the model's namespace and set the owner_type to App\User.
Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution to it other than using the model's namespace?
You can setup an alias for this class. First you need to add the morphClass property to your model(s)
<?php namespace Acme\Users;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model {
protected $table = 'users';
/**
* The class name to be used in polymorphic relations.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $morphClass = 'User';
}
Then within the config, add a new class alias for 'User' like this:
