How to do relationships in Laravel?

Question

Laravel

Good day.
There are tables users, codes, langs and themes.
I need to associate users with codes and codes with langs and themes.
In codes I do this:

$table->integer('lang_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('lang_id')->references('id')->on('langs');
$table->integer('theme_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('theme_id')->references('id')->on('themes');
$table->integer('lang_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users');

In the User model, do hasMany(Codes::class);
And in Codes:
belongsTo(User::class)
The same in Langs and Themes, only belongsTo(Codes::class).
Am I doing it right and in general, is it possible to get by with simple joins?
The bottom line is that the user creates an entry in codes, in which langs and themes are attached.
So that later on the page to display data from langs and themes by their id.
You also need to display all user records from codes in his profile.

You should always use an ORM if there is one. In Lara's case, Eloquent should always be used. This greatly simplifies development and makes the code cleaner and more readable.
