laravel 5 pivot table -

i'm trying implement friendlist user user can have many friends

but calling friends i'm having problem getting relation right:

user id friends user_id friend_user_id

class user:

public function friends(){ homecoming $this->hasmany('app\user', 'friends'); }

so auth::user()->friends should homecoming list of user models

you don't have "one many" relationship rather "many many" friends beingness joining table

try this:

public function friends(){ homecoming $this->belongstomany('app\user', 'friends', 'user_id', 'friend_user_id'); }
