I have a problem with replicating one of my models with all the relationships.
The database structure is as follows:
Table1: products
id
name
Table2: product_options
id
product_id
option
Table3: categories
id
name
Pivot table: product_categories
product_id
category_id
Relationships are:
- product hasMany product_options
- product belongsToMany category (trough product_categories)
I would like to clone a product with all the relationships. Currently here is my code:
$product = Product::with('options')->find($id);
$new_product = $product->replicate();
$new_product->push();
foreach($product->options as $option){
$new_option = $option->replicate();
$new_option->product_id = $new_product->id;
$new_option->push();
}
But this does not works (the relationships are not cloned - currently I just tried to clone the product_options).
This code, worked for me:
$model = User::find($id);
$model->load('invoices');
$newModel = $model->replicate();
$newModel->push();
foreach($model->getRelations() as $relation => $items){
foreach($items as $item){
unset($item->id);
$newModel->{$relation}()->create($item->toArray());
}
}
Answer from here: Clone an Eloquent object including all relationships?
This answer (same question), also works fine too.
//copy attributes from original model
$newRecord = $original->replicate();
// Reset any fields needed to connect to another parent, etc
$newRecord->some_id = $otherParent->id;
//save model before you recreate relations (so it has an id)
$newRecord->push();
//reset relations on EXISTING MODEL (this way you can control which ones will be loaded
$original->relations = [];
//load relations on EXISTING MODEL
$original->load('somerelationship', 'anotherrelationship');
//re-sync the child relationships
$relations = $original->getRelations();
foreach ($relations as $relation) {
foreach ($relation as $relationRecord) {
$newRelationship = $relationRecord->replicate();
$newRelationship->some_parent_id = $newRecord->id;
$newRelationship->push();
}
}

The code works fine for many to many relationships in my experience.
Try using attach
to create the relationship:
foreach($product->options as $option){
$new_option = $option->replicate();
$new_option->save();
$new_option_id = $new_option->id;
$new_product->options()->attach($new_option_id);
}
$product = Product::with('options')->find($id);
$new_product = $product->replicate();
$new_product->{attribute} = {value};
$new_product->push();
$new_product->options()->saveMany($product->options);
This worked fine on 5.5.
image , media is a relation name.
$event = Events::with('image','media')->find($event_id);
if($event){
$newevent = $event->replicate();
$newevent->push();
foreach ($newevent->getRelations() as $relation => $entries)
{
foreach($entries as $entry)
{
$e = $entry->replicate();
if ($e->push())
{
$newevent->{$relation}()->save($e);
}
}
}
}
