How to get a collection of users in this role? about laratrust HOT 2 CLOSED

As far as I know this has not been explained in the documentation, but it's fairly simple.

The User - Role relationship is a ManyToMany type, which means the User has many Roles and a Role is(or really can be) assigned to many Users.
In this case, as stated in the official framework documentation, we use a following relationship declaration:

public function posts()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(Post::class);
}

Our case is exactly the same, meaning:

$user = User::first();

$roles = $user->roles; // Get all user roles.
// or
$roles = $user->roles()->get();

and

$role = Role::first();

$users = $role->users; // Get all users with this role assigned to them
// or
$users = $role->users()->get();

I hope this explains it for you.

By the way, this is an open source project, so you are more than engouraged to take a look at the package files.
The Role model uses Laratrust/Traits/LaratrustRoleTrait, and in this trait definition you'll find the relationship declaration.
It applies user configuration to be more flexible, but by default it would behave something like following:

public function users()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(
        App\User::class,
        'role_user',
        'role_id',
        'user_id'
    );
}

which is just an explicit way of saying

public function users()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany(App\User::class);
}

As you can see there's not much magic going on.

Thank you! Working!

$role = Role::where('name','=','administrator')->first();
$users = $role->users;
