I'm trying to make a api that will return the type of a word (noun, pronoun, verb, etc.) after creating that word in the database. But for some reason I am getting a "Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo::type()" error when the type method is clearly defined in my vocabulary model. Here are parts of the code for the application.
The first model is the type model it allows me to get the "contents" of a type (model not listed here) and the vocabularies that belongs to a specific type.
model-code-listing 1: VocType.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class VocType extends Model
{
public function contents()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\VocTypeContent');
}
public function vocabularies()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\VocVocabulary');
}
}
this second model allows me to create a word in the vocabulary table access its "contents", type and category. This is where the issue lies.
model-code-listing 2: VocVocabulary.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class VocVocabulary extends Model
{
protected $fillable = ['voc_category_id','type_id', 'name', 'context', 'picture'];
public $timestamps = false;
public function contents()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\VocVocabularyContent');
}
public function type()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\VocType');
}
public function category()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\VocCategory');
}
}
The third model allows me to create the content of a vocabulary and access it parent vocabulary.
model-code-listing 3: VocVocabularyContent.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class VocVocabularyContent extends Model
{
protected $fillable = ['voc_vocabulary_id','lang_id', 'content', 'context', 'romanization', 'pronunciation', 'audio'];
public $timestamps = false;
public function vocabulary()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\VocVocabulary');
}
}
below are the three migrations used for the models listed above.

});

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

$table->string('context');

});
}

}
}
This is the controller where I am calling the type() method of vocabulary. basically I have an html form that sends a post request to this controller's method (postVocabularyAPI) if no id is provided in the request a vocabulary will be created (if the language is english). Then whether or not an id is provided with the request the method will create a vocabulary "content" for the given id (if no id is provided the given id will be the id of the previously created vocabulary). Then the postVocabularyAPI method will return a json response containing the id of the type of the vocabulary.
controller-code-listing 1: Vocabulearn.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use App\Language;
use App\VocTheme;
use App\VocCategory;
use App\VocCategoryContent;
use App\VocVocabulary;
use App\VocVocabularyContent;
use App\VocType;
class Vocabulearn extends Controller
{
//other methods above
public function postVocabularyAPI(Request $request, $language, $theme, $category){
$vocabulary_id = $request->vocabulary_id;
if($vocabulary_id === NULL){
if($language == "english"){
$vocabulary = VocVocabulary::create([
'voc_category_id' => VocCategory::where("slug", $category)->get()->first()->id,
'type_id' => VocType::where("abbreviation", $request->type)->get()->first()->id,
'name' => ucfirst(addslashes($request->translation)),
'context' => $request->context,
'picture' => ''
]);
$vocabulary_id = $vocabulary->id;
} else {
echo '{"success":false, "message":"Create first the English Vocabulary"}';
}
}
$vocabularyContent = VocVocabularyContent::where('lang_id', '=', Language::where("slug", $language)->get()->first()->id)
->where('voc_vocabulary_id', '=', $vocabulary_id)
->first();
if($vocabularyContent !== NULL){
$vocabularies = DB::table('voc_vocabulary_contents')
->where('lang_id', '=', Language::where("slug", $language)->get()->first()->id)
->where('voc_vocabulary_id', '=', $vocabulary_id)
->delete();
}
$vocabularyContent = VocVocabularyContent::create([
'voc_vocabulary_id' => $vocabulary_id,
'lang_id' => Language::where("slug", $language)->get()->first()->id,
'content' => ucfirst(addslashes($translation)),
'context' => addslashes($context),
'romanization' => strtolower(addslashes($romanization)),
'pronunciation' => $pronunciation,
'audio' => $request->audio
]);
echo '{"success":true, "type":"'.stripslashes(html_entity_decode($vocabularyContent->vocabulary()->type()->id)).'"}';
}
}
doing this gives me a
"Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo::type()"
even when I change
echo '{"success":true, "type":"'.stripslashes(html_entity_decode($vocabularyContent->vocabulary()->type()->id)).'"}';
by
echo '{"success":true, "type":"'.stripslashes(html_entity_decode($vocabularyContent->vocabulary()->get()->first()->type()->id)).'"}';
I get an error stating
"Call to a member function type() on null"
which isn't right because the database was properly populated so I shouldn't be getting a null vocabulary.
