How to connect correctly 2 models in this case?

Question

MySQL

There is a Task model. The structure in the database is:

tasks
    id
    user_id
    task_type_id
    data

And there is a TaskType model

task_types
    id
    service_id
    name

I have one task can have only one TaskType. But one TaskType can have many tasks. I can't find the right relationship. For one-to-one, the TaskType needs to have a task_id field, which I don't need. TaskType - a kind of reference book of possible types of tasks. How can I link them?

Answer 1

Something like this

class TaskType extends Model
{
    public function tasks()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Models\Task');
    }
}

class Task extends Model
{
    public function type() {
        return $this->belongsTo('App\Models\TaskType');
    }
}

change the namespace to your own. In general, it is better to do them as I showed. It is not very convenient to store them in the app folder
