One To Many Polymorphic Relations:

morphMany

Post model have many Comment models

namespace App\Models;

use Chelout\RelationshipEvents\Concerns\HasMorphManyEvents;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasMorphManyEvents;

    protected $fillable = [
        'title',
        'body',
    ];

    public function comments()
    {
        return $this->morphMany(Comment::class, 'commentable');
    }
}

Now we can use methods to assosiate Post with Comment and also update assosiated models.

// ...
// create post
$post = factory('App\Models\Post')->create();

// create comment
$comment = factory('App\Models\Comment')->create();

// Saving comment with specified post
// This will fire two events morphManySaving, morphManySaved
$post->comments()->save($comment);

// ...

Now we should listen our events, for example we can register event listners in model's boot method:

// ...
    public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        /**
         * One To Many Polymorphic Relationship Events
         */
        static::morphManySaving(function ($parent, $related) {
            Log::info("Saving comment's post.");
        });

        static::morphManySaved(function ($parent, $related) {
            Log::info("Comment's post is now set.");
        });
    }
// ...

Available methods and events

MorphMany::create (HasOneOrMany::create)

• fires hasManyCreating, hasManyCreated
• events have $parent and $related models

MorphMany::save (HasOneOrMany::save)

• fires hasManyCreating, hasManyCreated
• events have $parent and $related models

MorphMany::update (HasOneOrMany::update)

• fires hasManyUpdating, hasManyUpdated
• events have $parent model and $related Eloquent collection

Note: has additional query to get related Eloquent collection

morphTo

There is also inverse relation Comment belongs to Post

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Chelout\RelationshipEvents\Concerns\HasMorphToEvents;

class Comment extends Model
{
    use HasMorphToEvents;

    /**
     * Get the post associated with the comment.
     */
    public function post()
    {
        return $this->morphTo(Post::class);
    }
}

Now we can use methods to assosiate, dissosiate and update Post with Comment:

// ...
// create post
$post = factory('App\Models\Post')->create();

// create comment
$comment = factory('App\Models\Comment')->create();

// Saving comment with specified post
// This will fire two events morphToAssociating, morphToAssociated
$comment->post()->associate($post);

// ...

Now we should listen our events, for example we can register event listners in model's boot method:

// ...
    protected static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();

        static::morphToAssociating(function ($relation, $related, $parent) {
            Log::info("Associating post {$parent->name} with comment.");
        });

        static::morphToAssociated(function ($relation, $related, $parent) {
            Log::info("Comment has been assosiated with post {$parent->name}.");
        });
    }
// ...

Available methods and events

MorphTo::associate

• fires belongToAssociating, belongToAssociated
• events have $relation name, $related and $parent models.

Note: related model is dirty, should be saved after associating

MorphTo::dissociate

• fires belongToAssociating, belongToAssociated
• events have $relation name, $related and $parent models.

Note: has additional query to get parent model Note: related model is dirty, should be saved after dissociating

MorphTo::update

• fires belongToUpdating, belongToUpdated
• events have $relation name, $related and $parent models.

Note: has additional query to get related model
