in app have access sender id auth::user() , have access reciever id.. how can estublish relationship , store messages? have been trying in many ways please help. thank you.

i think problem relationship. please have , suggest me right way

the user model

public function sender() {    return $this->hasmany('app\message', 'sender'); }  public function reciever() {    return $this->hasmany('app\message', 'reciever'); } 

the message model

public function sender() {    return $this->belongsto('app\user', 'sender'); }  public function reciever() {    return $this->belongsto('app\user', 'reciever'); } 

you may this:

// create message model instance $message = new app\message(['msg' => 'something test', ...]);  // retrieve related user $user = app\user::find(1);  // call method defined in user model $user->sender()->save($message);
