You may receive an error similar to the one below as Eloquent tries to build the query using columns from the model without including its table name. ``` QueryException in Connection.php line 662: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'column_name' in 'where clause' ``` The 'Improved Polymorphic Eloquent Builder' is a class which extends the Eloquent Builder class that is built in to Laravel 5.1. It enables limited use of the `whereHas` method to query Eloquent polymorphic relationships. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) You must be using Laravel 5.1 as your framework and Eloquent as your ORM. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Simply require this package, using Composer, in the root directory of your project. ``` composer require rapidwebltd/improved-polymorphic-eloquent-builder ``` Then change any Eloquent models using polymorphic relationships to extend the `\RapidWeb\ImprovedPolymorphicEloquentBuilder\Model`class. This will usually be any model(s) containing methods which return `morphTo()` relationship(s). An example class is shown below. ``` class Variation extends \RapidWeb\ImprovedPolymorphicEloquentBuilder\Model { public function model() { return $this->morphTo(); } } ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) When performing a `whereHas` query, you must specify the morph types as the 5th argument. Morph types refers to an array of the polymorphic types you wish to filter by. These should be presented as strings equal to one or more of the possible values the `[...]_type` field of the polymorphic relationship in question. The example below selects all `variation` records that have related `model` record of type `bags`, with a `brand_id` of 2. ``` Variation::whereHas('model', function($query) use ($brandId) { $query->where('brand_id', 2); }, '>=', 1, ['bags'])->get(); ``` A database structure for this example would be similar to the following. The polymorphic fields are highlighted in **bold**. variationsbagssunglassesid**id****id****model\_type** ('bags', 'sunglasses', etc.)brand\_idbrand\_id**model\_id**material\_idlens\_colour\_id ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 69% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity22 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
