Macros In Eloquent Relationship

Introduction#

We have new features for Eloquent Relationship in Laravel version 5.4.8. We can fetch a single instance of a hasMany (it is just one example) relationship by define it at on place and it will works for all relationship

We can fetch one instance of hasMany relationship

In our AppServiceProvider.php

public function boot()
{
  HasMany::macro('toHasOne', function() {
      return new HasOne(
          $this->query,
          $this->parent,
          $this->foreignKey,
          $this->localKey
      );
  });
}

Suppose we have shop modal and we are getting the list of products which has purchased. Suppose we have allPurchased relationship for Shop modal

public function allPurchased()
{
    return $this->hasMany(Purchased::class);
}

public function lastPurchased()
{
    return $this->allPurchased()->latest()->toHasOne();
}
