I am trying to get the result of games where records are not in team_id array.
from front end, sending array of team_id [ 23, 24 ], the result should not consider 23, 24 id from game_teams table
games table
| id | name |
| 42 | game 1 |
| 43 | game 2 |
teams table
| id | name |
| 22 | team 1 |
| 23 | team 2 |
| 24 | team 3 |
| 25 | team 4 |
| 26 | team 5 |
game_teams table
| id | game_id | team_id |
| 1 | 42 | 22 |
| 2 | 42 | 23 |
| 3 | 43 | 23 |
| 4 | 43 | 24 |
| 5 | 43 | 25 |
| 6 | 43 | 26 |
$results = Game::with(['gameTeams.teams'])->whereNotIn("team_id", $request->arr_team_ids)->get()->toArray();
with above code the result is not as "Expected result".
Expected result below, here you can see the record 23, 24 are not expected result which are in game_teams table :
[
{
"id": 42,
"name": "game 1",
"game_teams": [
{
"id": 1,
"game_id": 42,
"team_id": 22,
"teams": {
"id": 22,
"name": "team 1",
}
}
]
},
{
"id": 43,
"name": "game 2",
"game_teams": [
{
"id": 5,
"game_id": 43,
"team_id": 25,
"teams": {
"id": 25,
"name": "team 4"
}
},
{
"id": 6,
"game_id": 43,
"team_id": 26,
"teams": {
"id": 26,
"name": "team 5",
}
}
]
},
]

You should be able to use
whereDoesntHave
to query on the association. It’ll use a subselect, but you could also look at using a manual join if this doesn’t do the trick.Use Constraining Eager Loading like this
