Can Laravel Orion handle complex relationships between models


Yes, Laravel Orion can handle complex relationships between models effectively. Here's a summary of how it supports different types of relationships:

One-to-One Relationships

For one-to-one relationships like `hasOne`, `hasOneThrough`, `morphOne`, and `belongsTo`, Orion provides 4 endpoints: `store`, `show`, `update`, and `destroy`.

One-to-Many Relationships

For one-to-many relationships like `hasMany`, `hasManyThrough`, and `morphMany`, Orion provides 11 endpoints: `index`, `search`, `store`, `show`, `update`, `destroy`, `associate`, `dissociate`, `batchStore`, `batchUpdate`, and `batchDestroy`.

Many-to-Many Relationships

For many-to-many relationships like `belongsToMany` and `morphToMany`, Orion provides 14 endpoints: `index`, `search`, `store`, `show`, `update`, `destroy`, `attach`, `detach`, `sync`, `toggle`, `pivot`, `batchStore`, `batchUpdate`, and `batchDestroy`.

The package allows you to easily define these relationships in your code using the `Orion::hasOneResource()`, `Orion::hasManyResource()`, and `Orion::belongsToManyResource()` methods. It will then automatically generate the appropriate API endpoints for you to interact with these relationships.[1]

The documentation provides clear examples of how to set up these different relationship types and the available endpoints.[1] So yes, Laravel Orion is well-equipped to handle complex model relationships in a Laravel application.[2][4]
