Laravel – Eloquent: get posts from user with users post table

I searched a lot but could not find any answer about it, so I hope you could help me!

I have three tables: posts, users and post_users. Post_users contains two columns: user_id and post_id.

I need to get all posts by an user with Eloquent. Any ideas?

Answer

Model User:

public function posts()
{
  return $this->belongsToMany('AppPost', 'post_users', 'user_id', 'post_id');
}

Model Post:

public function users()
{
  return $this->belongsToMany('AppUser', 'post_users', 'post_id', 'user_id');
}

Try:

$user = User::find($id);
$allpost = $user->posts()->get();
var_dump($allpost);
