in my system:

• a lead belongstomany salespeople


• a manager belongstomany salespeople

i am trying to check if a lead has a manager through the salespeople. this is for a policy so i can make sure a manager can see the leads of their salespeople.

something like this:

$lead->salespeople->contains($manager->salespeople)

is there a collection method that will allow me to do this? i've also tried stuff like this which isn't working either:

$lead->salespeople->contains('id', $manager->salespeople->pluck('id')->toArray())

edit, i think i got it. does this look correct?:

$lead->salespeople->intersect($manager->salespeople)->count() > 0

My Answer:
salespeople()->pluck('id')->contains($manager->id);
