The programs() method will create an attribute that will be a Collection of the relationships, so you access them via:

$developers->programs

Unfortunately I got this: Undefined property: Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::$programs

Can you show us your database tables ?

So you want to only grab the programs?

You can't grab 'programs' from a collection.

You could filter through every developer returned, and then build your own array containing only the 'programs'.

I'm able to go over developers by :

$developers->each(function($developer) {

           echo "<pre>"; var_dump($developer);echo "</pre>";
      
        });

But cannot get collection of programs for each developer. I mean:

$developers->each(function($developer) {

           echo "<pre>"; var_dump($developer->programs);echo "</pre>";
      
        });

The code above returns just a number, It seems to be the count of programs for specific developer

So the code above shows this for me:

--string(2) "63"
--string(1) "0"
--string(1) "0"
--string(1) "0"
--string(1) "0"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "0"
--string(1) "9"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "0"
--string(1) "0"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "0"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "1"
--string(1) "1"

Here is a var_dump of first $developer collection with 63 programs in programs collection (line 101) in it: http://laravel.io/bin/z6LeX

So now the question is ... How to access that programs collection (line 101) ?

$developers->each(); //Execute a callback over each item.

try a foreach

foreach($developer as $developer) {
    var_dump($developer->programs); // shortcut for $developer->programs()->get();
}

try a foreach

foreach($developer as $developer) { var_dump($developer->programs); // shortcut for $developer->programs()->get(); }

ERROR: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

typo, $developers

var_dump($developer->programs) returns string(2) "13" Its a simple integer value

My bad, I got ahead of myself. As others have stated:

foreach ($developers as $developer) 
{
   foreach ($developer->programs as $program)
   {
      // Do something...
   }
}

My bad, I got ahead of myself. As others have stated:

foreach ($developers as $developer) 
{
  foreach ($developer->programs as $program)
  {
     // Do something...
  }
}

Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

var_dump($developer->programs) shows string(2) "13" as I said above, when I var_dump the $developers collection I can see programs collection inside http://laravel.io/bin/z6LeX . But when I try to access this collection with foreach it doesnt work and var_dump shows integer value instead of object or array
