when a foreign key value is null I want to return a specific value from the model because when I delete the primary key id row and set a null value on the foreign key shows error. how to can I do it please anybody help me?
Here Is My Country Migration Table:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('countries', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name', 60)->nullable();
$table->string('country_code', 60)->nullable();
$table->string('capital', 120)->nullable();
$table->string('region', 120)->nullable();
$table->string('currency_code', 120)->nullable();
$table->string('currency_name', 120)->nullable();
$table->string('currency_symbol', 120)->nullable();
$table->string('language_code', 120)->nullable();
$table->string('language_name', 120)->nullable();
$table->bigInteger('flag')->unsigned()->nullable();
$table->foreign('flag')->references('id')->on('media_files')->onDelete('cascade')->onUpdate('cascade');
$table->string('dialling_code', 10)->nullable();
$table->integer('status')->default(0)->unsigned();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Here Is My City migration Table:
Schema::create('cities', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('name')->nullable();
$table->string('zipcode')->nullable();
$table->string('order')->default(null)->nullable();
$table->foreignId('country_id')->nullable()->constrained("countries")->cascadeOnUpdate()->nullOnDelete();
$table->timestamps();
});
City Model:
class City extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
public function country(){
return $this->belongsTo(Country::class,'country_id');
}
}
Frontend Blade:
<tbody>
@foreach($CityList as $City)
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="id[]"></td>
<td>{{$City->id }}</td>
<td>{{$City->name }}</td>
<td>{{$City->zipcode }}</td>
<td>{{$City->country->name }}</td>
<td>{{$City->country->countrycode }}</td>
<td>{{$City->order }}</td>
<td>{{$City->created_at->diffForHumans()}}</td>
<td>
<a href="{{ route('dashboard.city.edit',$City->id) }}" class="btn btn-info" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Edit"><i class="fa fa-edit" style="font-size: 17px;"></i></a>
<button href="{{ route('dashboard.city.delete',$City->id) }}" type="button" value="{{ $City->id }}" class="btn btn-danger delete" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Delete">
<i aria-hidden="true" class="fa fa-trash"></i>
</button>
</td>
</tr>
@endforeach
</tbody>

You can do this:
<td>{{$City->country ? $City->country->name : 'No country found'}}</td>
And make sure you are including
countries
when fetchingcities
.I can suggest a few ways to solve this
First: Make a default value for the relation, like here
Second: Make a mutation in City model to find the name of the country
