Spatie Laravel Roles and Permissions

Database Tables Used

model_has_roles

model_has_roles table

The role_id is foreign to roles table, straight-forward. model_type is self-explanatory. model_id is the id for the users table.

Query based on roles

Please note the ->hasRoles does not work with query. That works on the user model as a method to check something.

For query perhaps we can use the following:

1	$query->role($userRole);

if (!empty($userRoles)) {

foreach ($userRoles->roles as $role) {
array_push($userRoleIdsArray, $role->id);
}
unset($userRoles);
} else {
Log::error("Plan.userRow not found for the user Id -" . Auth::id());
}

How to write a relationship to Roles Model since we do not have one by default?

This is useful when let’s say we want to have a plans table and we want plans and roles to be mapped with a pivot table. So we can create a many-to-many relationship between roles and plans. Here’s how to do it.
