Laravel - Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::user()

Question

I am busy with Laravel From Scratch: Updating Records and Eager Loading. I have followed the tut but I am getting this error when trying to add user data in CardsController. I am assuming that I've missed a step in the card user relationship somewhere but I've watched the video 3 times and my database queries for User, Card & Note matches the video exactly.

Is there another step I need to perform after creating the Users table via the migration perhaps?

Error

BadMethodCallException in Builder.php line 2345:

Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::user()

CardsController code

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Card;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class CardsController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $cards = Card::all();
        return view('cards.index', compact('cards'));
    }

    public function show(Card $card)
    {
        $card = Card::with('notes.user')->get();
        return $card;
        return view('cards.show', compact('card'));
    }
}

Your note model is lacking the relationship definition for it's associated user, it looks like.

You should just be able to add the relationship in the Notes model like this:

public function user()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}

Ohgodwhy, I got the same error when I call a User model method. How can I solve it?

That video does have some problems, so I also encountered the same problem. You should just be able to add the relationship in the Note model like this:

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

and in the User model like this:

public function notes()
{
    return $this->hasMany(Note::class);
    //return $this->belongsTo('App\Note');
}

bless you !

It looks like you just need to switch belongsTo to hasMany type of relationship in your User model. Changing of string class providing or via PHP has no effect: Note::class equal to 'App\Note' in your case.
