title: How To Access A Column In M-M Relationship Table In Laravel
body: <p>I made a many-to-many relationship in laravel, where users can make announcements on an event.</p>
  <p>The problem is that I want to retrieve the announcement <strong>message</strong> from the database using the relationship.</p>
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  <p>Database Migration:</p>
  <pre><code>   Schema::create('announcements', function (Blueprint $table) {
          $table-&gt;id();
          $table-&gt;text(&quot;message&quot;);
          $table-&gt;foreignId('user_id')-&gt;constrained()-&gt;cascadeOnDelete()-&gt;cascadeOnUpdate();
          $table-&gt;foreignId('event_id')-&gt;constrained()-&gt;cascadeOnDelete()-&gt;cascadeOnUpdate();
          $table-&gt;timestamps();
      });
  </code></pre>
  <p>Event Model:</p>
  <pre><code>public function announcements() {
      return $this-&gt;belongsToMany(User::class, 'announcements');
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>User Model:</p>
  <pre><code>public function announcements() {
      return $this-&gt;belongsToMany(Event::class, 'announcements');
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>Events Controller:</p>
  <pre><code> public function getEventAnnouncements($id) {
      $event = Event::find($id);
  
  
      $ann = [];
      $event-&gt;announcements-&gt;each(function ($a) use ($ann) {
          // echo $a;
          // $ann += $a-&gt;message;
      });
  
      return $ann;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p><strong>What Should I Write In The Controller To Get The Content Of <code>messages</code> Column ?</strong></p>
