Message:

I have three tables users, profiles and roles. The users and profiles tables has one to one relationships and the users and roles has many to many relationships using a pivto table role_user. In the Role model, I retrieve related users:

Role model

public function users() 

{

   return $this->belongsToMany(User::class);

}

My problem is that the above method only retrieves the users and not their profiles. In fact, I want to get users as well as their profiles using a role model and then paginate them.

public function getUsers($role)

{

   return $role->users()->paginate(50);

}

So, how can I retrieve users and their profiles using a Role model?

My Answer:
>belongsToMany('App\User');
}

Now, to access the related users for a specific role, you can do the following in your controller or wherever you need to access the data:

php
$role = Role::find($roleId);
$users = $role->users;


This will retrieve all the users related to the specific role with the given `$roleId`. You can then loop through the `$users` collection to access each user's data.

Additionally, you can eager load the users when querying for roles to avoid the N+1 query problem:

php
$roles = Role::with('users')->get();


This will retrieve all roles along with their related users in a single query, improving performance.
