Answer by alagu for Php recursive method getting products

In Laravel,

hasMany() and belongsTo() creates Parent & Child Categories relationship.

Simply use in Model that extends Eloquent. For sample,

    public function getChildValues() {        return $this->hasMany('Category', 'parentid');    }         public function getParentValues() {        return $this->belongsTo('CategoryMN', 'id');    }

And to retrieve for example, in Controller,

$categories_child = Category::with('getChildValues')->get();
