Laravel One-to-Many Relationship Association via Form












0















Trying to figure out how to save an item that has a OneToMany relationship in this scenario... Let's say for example I have a list of Authors. And each author can have many Books, but a book can have only one Author (I know normally a book can have more than one author, but for this app, they can't).



So I used Artisan and built an Author model and Book model using:



php artisan make:model Author -mcr



php artisan make:model Book -mcr



(so I get a model, migration, and resource controller all in one).



Ok, so I have an "index page" for Authors, which lists all the authors. If I click on an author's name, it links me to a "show page" for that author, and on that show page it says the Author's name and has a list of books s/he's written.



At the bottom of the list of books that this author's written, there is a button that says "Add Another Book".



This is where I get confused... I would like that "Add Another Book" link to bring me to a page with a form to enter details to add said book (title, price, publish date, whatever...). But when I bring up this new book form, how does this form know how to add the proper id in the foreign key field (which would be author_id for the Author it belongs to?



Thanks and looking forward to your guidance and replies!

  • Can't you just pass it an author_id in the url?

  • Route model binding for sure. your route would be something like: Route::post('newbook/{author}', 'SomeController@create'); author in this case is the id# as the previous poster answered. Then in your controller just type hint: public function someFunction(Author $author)
