php - Laravel query many to Many

Question

I need help.I have 2 tables products and categories:

Get request sends category id. My question is: how to build a query using the product model??? (The query looks like this: Output the product where the category id is equal to $ request-> category). Table connections are configured, I only need the query, (I read the documentation, but do not not understand it)

Answer 1

You can use:

$products = Product::whereHas('categories', function($q) use ($categoryId) {
   $q->where('id', $categoryId);
})->get();

Read about querying relationships

Of course you need to have configured Product model with categories relationship.
