Get user owned courses with a Laravel relationship

Question

I need to get all the courses that the user owns with a for each loop in my view. I tried to set up a relationship that way: User.php

public function user_courses() {
        return $this->hasMany(User_Course::class)->orderBy('created_at');
}

Course.php

public function user_course() {
        return $this->belongsTo(User_Course::class);
}

User_Course.php

class User_Course extends Model
{
    protected $guarded = [];

    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }

    public function course(){
        return $this->hasOne(Course::class,'id');
    }

}

dashboard.blade.php

@foreach($user->user_courses as $course)
        {{  dd($course)  }}
                <div class="course-flex-item">  
                    <div class="course-header">
                        <strong>{{ $course['title'] }}</strong>
                    </div>
                    <div class="course-description">

                    </div>
                    <div class="continue-button">
                        <button>Continue</button>
                    </div>
                    <div class="image-container">
                        <img class="course-image" src="https://www.w3.org/html/logo/downloads/HTML5_Badge_256.png" alt="fasdf">
                        <div class="progress">
                        <div class="progress-bar"  role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="70"
                        aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: %;background-color: #f64c71;font-family:'Montserrat';font-weight:bold">
                        <span class="">%</span>
                 </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
        @endforeach

This is what the dd($course) returns:

App\User_Course {#1232 ▼
  #guarded: []
  #connection: "mysql"
  #table: "user__courses"
  #primaryKey: "id"
  #keyType: "int"
  +incrementing: true
  #with: []
  #withCount: []
  #perPage: 15
  +exists: true
  +wasRecentlyCreated: false
  #attributes: array:6 [▼
    "id" => 6
    "user_id" => 2
    "course_id" => 2
    "progress" => "40"
    "created_at" => null
    "updated_at" => null
  ]
  #original: array:6 [▶]
  #changes: []
  #casts: []
  #classCastCache: []
  #dates: []
  #dateFormat: null

  #dispatchesEvents: []
  #observables: []
  #relations: []
  #touches: []
  +timestamps: true
  #hidden: []
  #visible: []
  #fillable: []
}

Im trying to get each course detail via the course_id. for example if a user with the id of 3 owns a course with the course_id of 2, the database row will look like this: id|user_id|course_id 1 | 3 | 2

If you need more code, tell me in the comments.

users migration:

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->id(); $table->string('name'); $table->string('email')->unique(); $table->string('username')->unique(); $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable(); $table->string('password'); $table->rememberToken(); $table->timestamps(); });

courses migration:

Schema::create('courses', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->text('title')->nullable();
            $table->text('description')->nullable();
            $table->string('image')->nullable();
            $table->string('color')->nullable();
            $table->timestamps();
        });

user__courses migration:

Schema::create('user__courses', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->unsignedBigInteger('user_id');
            $table->unsignedBigInteger('course_id');
            $table->text('progress')->nullable();
            $table->timestamps();

            $table->index('user_id');
        });

Answer 1

You can do the following: inside user model you need to create this function

     public function courses()
     {
        return $this->belongsToMany(Course::class, 'user_courses','user_id','course_id');
      }
