HasMany relationship not working

[amacgregor]

I'm trying to get a one to many relationship working. I tried doing a couple of things:

$container->items()->save($entity) ; // This does absolutely nothing

$entity->container()->associate($container); // Partially worked by creating the parent_id but the parent model doesn't now about the children.

Please advice.

I did not test the methods you are using. I tested relations with the more manual approach by passing id's: https://github.com/jenssegers/Laravel-MongoDB/blob/master/tests/RelationsTest.php

I will try to find out why items()->save(..) is not working. Do you have more documentation on this way of saving relations?

I added your way of saving models to the tests and did not encounter any problems: https://github.com/jenssegers/Laravel-MongoDB/blob/master/tests/RelationsTest.php#L105

This might a compatibility issue with this bundle https://github.com/creolab/laravel-modules?source=cc

My current code looks something like this

        $container = \App\Modules\Catalog\Models\Attribute\Container::find('528bed717c89f55850000029');
        echo get_class($container) . ' - ' . $container->entity_id . "<br/>";

        $items = $container->items();

        foreach($items as $item)
        {
            echo get_class($item) . ' - ' . $item->name . "<br/>";
        }

Container class

class Container extends Eloquent {

    protected $connection = 'mongodb';
    protected $collection = 'attribute_container';

    public function items()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('App\Modules\Catalog\Models\Attribute\Entity');
    }

} 

Entity class

class Entity extends Eloquent {
    protected $connection = 'mongodb';
    protected $collection = 'attribute_container_item';

    public function container()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('App\Modules\Catalog\Models\Attribute\Container');
    }
} 

So I do see the container id being added to the entity model, but when I try to retrieve the items nothing comes back.

Closing this ticket, I was incorrectly calling

$container->items();

This works:

$container->items;
