Add columns to pivot table in Laravel
I have 4 Models:
Student Tutor Course Admin
I am able to fetch all the students and tutors with their Ids. I want to the admin to create Courses and store them in pivot Tables:
course_student course_tutor
Yet, the relationships are not too clear for me. I assume that I need
belongsToMany
between Course and Student. The same goes for Tutor and Course am i right?
What is also not clear is, how can I select many values on the HTML side and submit them to the server.
E.g:
public function store(AdminCreateNewCourseRequest $request)
{
$this->authorize('create-course');
$course = new Course;
$course->name = $request->name;
$course->tutor_id = $request->tutor_id;
$course->student_id = $request->student_id;
$course->spoken_language = $request->spoken_language;
$course->description = $request->description;
$course->save();
What to do?
return redirect($course->path())
->with('flash', 'The course has been published');
}
Here is the AdminCreateNewCourseRequest
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required|unique:courses|max:60',
'tutor_id' => [
'required',
Rule::exists('tutors', 'id');
],
'student_id' => [
'required',
Rule::exists('students', 'id');
],
'spoken_language' => 'required',
'description' => 'required|max:255'
];
}
I might let the admin selects multiple tutors and students.
How can I accomplish this?
Many Thanks.
