I created a custom query scope in BaseModel (my all models extends this class):
/**
* Add a relationship exists condition (BelongsTo).
*
* @param Builder $query
* @param string|Model $relation Relation string name or you can try pass directly model and method will try guess relationship
* @param mixed $modelOrKey
* @return Builder|static
*/
public function scopeWhereHasRelated(Builder $query, $relation, $modelOrKey = null)
{
if ($relation instanceof Model && $modelOrKey === null) {
$modelOrKey = $relation;
$relation = Str::camel(class_basename($relation));
}
return $query->whereHas($relation, static function (Builder $query) use ($modelOrKey) {
return $query->whereKey($modelOrKey instanceof Model ? $modelOrKey->getKey() : $modelOrKey);
});
}
You can use it in many contexts for example:
Event::whereHasRelated('participants', 1)->isNotEmpty(); // where has participant with id = 1
Furthermore, you can try to omit relationship name and pass just model:
$participant = Participant::find(1);
Event::whereHasRelated($participant)->first(); // guess relationship based on class name and get id from model instance
