I have 3 models:

• User


• Role


• Permission

Note:

• a user can have direct permissions


• a role can have permissions


• a user can have roles

I'm trying to get the total permissions a user has, either through their direct permissions or through their roles permissions. So I need to combine both into 1 collection and count the total.

I've set up the belongsToMany relationships for User and Role:

public function permissions()

{

    return $this->belongsToMany('AppPermission');

}

How do I do this?

I figured it out via flatMap.

You need to use the hasManyThrough relation

Here is the link to the documentation: Eloquent Documentation

so you would do something like this:

public function permissions()

{   

    $directPermissions = $this->belongsToMany('AppPermission'); 

    $rolePermissions = $this->hasManyThrough('AppPermissions', 'AppRole');

    return $directPermissions->merge($rolePermissions);

}

i am not sure but it will help
open your user model

public function roles()

    {

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

    }



public function permissions()

    {

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

    }



public function hasRole(...$roles)

    {



        foreach($roles as $role)

        {

            if($this->roles->contains('name',$role))

            {

                return true;

            }

        }

        return false;

    }



   public function hasPermission($permission)

    {

        return $this->hasPermissionThroughRole($permission) || (bool) $this->permissions->where('name',$permission->name)->count();

    }



    public function hasPermissionThroughRole($permission)

    {

        foreach($permission->roles as $role)

        {

            if($this->roles->contains($role))

            {

                return true;

            }

        }

        return false;

    }

Then open your Role Model and add these

public function permissions()

    {

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

    }



public function users()

    {

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

    }

and open your permission model

public function roles()

    {

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

    }



public function users()

    {

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

    }

and finaly to boot all the permission to roles and user
run the command php artisan make:provider PermissionServiceProvider

open you service provider created newely and

add

use AppPermission;

use IlluminateSupportFacadesGate;

add the code under the boot method

Permission::get()->map(function ($permission) 

            {

                Gate::define($permission->name, function ($user) use ($permission) 

                {

                    return $user->hasPermission($permission);

                });

            });

hope it helps if you find any difficulties please comment below
