laravel pivot table relationship code example

Example 1: has many through laravel

class Country extends Model
{
    public function posts()
    {
        return $this->hasManyThrough(
            'App\Post',
            'App\User',
            'country_id', // Foreign key on users table...
            'user_id', // Foreign key on posts table...
            'id', // Local key on countries table...
            'id' // Local key on users table...
        );
    }
}

when
countries
    id - integer
    name - string

users
    id - integer
    country_id - integer
    name - string

posts
    id - integer
    user_id - integer
    title - string

Example 2: laravel has one through

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Mechanic extends Model
{
    /**
     * Get the car's owner.
     */
    public function carOwner()
    {
        return $this->hasOneThrough('App\Owner', 'App\Car');
    }
}

Example 3: laravel pivot table model

/*Model - Service*/
public function customer(){
    return $this->belongsToMany('customer')->withPivot(
        'start_date',
        'stop_date',
        'rem_date',
        'due_date',
        'status'
        );
}

/*Model - customer*/
public function services(){
    return $this->belongsToMany('Service')->withPivot(
        'start_date',
        'stop_date',
        'rem_date',
        'due_date',
        'status'
        );
}

////These following relations didnt workout
/*Model - custserv*/ //uses the pivot table customer_service//
public function staff(){
    return $this->belongsToMany('Staff');
}

/*Model - Staff*/
public function custservs(){
    return $this->belongsToMany('Custserv');
}

/*schema for pivot table 'staff' and 'Custserv' */
Schema::create('customer_service_user', function(Blueprint $table)
    {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->integer('customer_service_id')->unsigned()->index();
        $table->foreign('customer_service_id')->references('id')->on('customer_service')->onDelete('cascade');
        $table->integer('staff_id')->unsigned()->index();
        $table->foreign('staff_id')->references('id')->on('staff')->onDelete('cascade');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
