php - How to define the "follow" relationship in laravel 5.2 -

recently use laravel define 'follow' relationship between users. here models:

class user extends model {     public function follows()     {         return $this->morphmany('app\user', 'followable');     } }  class follow extends model {     public function followable()     {         return $this->morphto();     } } 

and database follow this:

follows:     - id:     - user_id:     - followable_id:     - followable_type: 

all above defined according examples laravel documents provides.

and can retrieve user model this:

$follow = follow:find(1); $user = $follow->followable; 

but when write code this:

$followers = $user->follows; 

i errors:

relationship method must return object of type  illuminate\database\eloquent\relations\relation 

here question: did define relationship of 'follow' right? , how can fix errors?

thanks.

try this

class user extends model {     public function follows()     {         return $this->morphmany('app\user', 'followable');     } } 

change in

    class user extends model {     public function follows()     {         return $this->morphmany('app\follow', 'followable');     } } 

because have given model name incorrect.
