Laravel 4.2 eloquent relations

I am new at laravel and have been using laravel 4.2 in an old server. I have to join three tables to get my required data. The structure is as follows:

Queue Table:

| id | patient_id | shift_id | date|

Patient Table:

| id | name | age | gender |

Shift Table:

| id | time |

I need my controller to return object data with patient name, shift time and date. I have three models of each table. How can I obtain this? I have been trying one to meny relations but not been able to complete this task.

If you are using eloquent you need to have models. For every database table you can generate models like :

php artisan make:model Queue
php artisan make:model Patient
php artisan make:model Shift

After that model needs some relationships.Define the relationships like this.

class Queue extends Model
{
    /**
     * So now the Queue has a relationship with patient.
     */
    public function patient()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Patient','patient_id','id');
    }
}

This code block allows you to do some changes in database.

So you can get how many patients in the queue like this.

$queue= Queue::find(1);
foreach($queue as $item)
{
echo $item->patient;
}

If you want to get more information about relationships and models refer here :

$result = Queue::join('patient', 'queue.parent_id', '=', 'patient.id')
           ->join('shift', 'queue.shift_id', '=', 'shift.id')
           ->select('patient.name', 'shift.time', 'queue.date')
           ->get();
echo "<pre>"; print_r($result); die();

here Queue is your model

Eloquent way 

class Queue  extends Model
{
   protected $appends = ['patient_name','shift_date'];

   public function patient()
   {
      return $this->blongsTo(Patient::class,'patient_id'.'id');
   } 

   public function shift()
   {
      return $this->blongsTo(Shift::class,'shift_id','id');
   } 

   public function getPatiantNameAttribute()
   {
      return $this->patient->name;
   }

    public function getShiftDateAttribute()
   {
      return $this->shift->time;
   }
}

Then

$queue = Queue::find(1);  

$queue->patient_name;
$queue->shift_date;

This approach uses eager loading

$queue = Queue::with('patient','shift')->find(1);  

$queue->patient->name;
$queue->shift->time;

You can do

Query Builder

       $data = DB::table('queue')
        ->join('patient', 'queue.parent_id', '=', 'patient.id')
        ->join('shift', 'queue.shift_id', '=', 'shift.id')
        ->select('patient.name', 'shift.time', 'queue.date')
        ->get();

       dd($data);

The documentation explains it more here
