Laravel accessor and relation methods have the same name problem-CodePudding

please consider this situation:

model name = Workflow
attribute name = current_user (a foreign key to User model)

then my relation method is:

public function currentUser()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(User::class, 'current_user', 'id');
}

and my accessor method is (according to Laravel 9.x Docs):

protected function currentUser(): Attribute
{
    return Attribute::make(
        get: fn($value) => User::find($value)->full_name(),
        set: fn($value) => $value,
    );
}

they have the same name, and not working!

also, I tried to change their names but Laravel won't recognize them and returns a null object.

CodePudding user response：

I found this solution for the accessor method (on Laravel 8.x Docs):

protected function getNextUserAttribute($value)
{
    return User::find($value)->full_name();
}

but I'm not sure it's the right way, is it?

CodePudding user response：

I used to use this way

In User model

protected function getFullNameAttribute($value)
{
    return $this->last_name . ' ' . $this->first_name;
}

In Workflow modal

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

$workflow = Workflow::with('user')->where('id', //id)->first();
$fullName = $workflow->user->fullName;
