How to correctly pass a model property?

Question

Laravel

There is a method that, judging by the result, transfers existing records from the database to the view:

public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $text = Text::orderBy('id','DESC')->paginate(5);
        return view('text.index',compact('texts'))
            ->with('i', ($request->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5);
    }

How to get a property of a model that is associated with a model Text?
That is, for example, there is a model User, each Texthas one User'a, and you need to display a Textproperty for each instance User'a- its name.

Answer 1

It's called relationships !
In the User model, write:

public function text()
    {
        return $this->hasOne('App\Text', 'user_id', 'id');
    }

Text

public function user()
{
 return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
}

Call
<?=$text->user->name ?>
