In my User model in Laravel 5.2 I have a relationship setup with their status to the company.
public function companyStatus()
{
return $this->hasOne('CompanyUser')->select('status');
}
The CompanyUser table has a company_id, user_id, and status field
Then in my controller I do the following:
$company = Company::find($company_id);
$users = CompanyUser::where('company_id', $company_id)->pluck('user_id')->toArray();
$user_data = User::with('companyStatus')->find($users);
but when I dump the user_data array it has all of the users related to the company, but just shows null for their status relationship
{
"id":2,
"name":"Moderator",
"email":"[email protected]",
"created_at":"2016-09-08 15:26:20",
"updated_at":"2016-09-08 15:26:25",
"company_status":null
}
If I however return just the User collection to the view, and iterate over each user and run
$user->companyStatus->status
the value displays, but I am trying to include this within the collection for a JSON API to consume.
UPDATE
I tried adding the foreign key to the select call on my relationship method:
public function companyStatus()
{
return $this->hasOne('CompanyUser')->select('status', 'user_id');
}
and it now returns the following:
{
"id":2,
"name":"Moderator",
"email":"[email protected]",
"created_at":"2016-09-08 15:26:20",
"updated_at":"2016-09-08 15:26:25",
"company_status": {"status":"1","user_id":"2"}
}
Not sure if this is the best/correct method or not though.

Okay I figured it out.
I tried adding the foreign key to the select call on my relationship method:
public function companyStatus()
{
return $this->hasOne('CompanyUser')->select('status', 'user_id');
}
Then that returns:
{
"id":2,
"name":"Moderator",
"email":"[email protected]",
"created_at":"2016-09-08 15:26:20",
"updated_at":"2016-09-08 15:26:25",
"company_status": {"status":"1","user_id":"2"}
}
Without the foreign key Laravel obviously can't determine the related data on the other table.
