One-To-Many Relationships in laravel eloquent

Question

Good morning, I am having a little trouble with model relationships in Eloquent, I need to link articles and images for those articles with an intermediate table. In the intermediate table I'd like to add the id's of both article and image, and I would like to retrieve all the images belonging to an article, what would be the best way to manage the relationship? Thanks in advance

You don't need to use pivot table since it's one-to-many relationship.

Just use hasMany() relation:

public function images()
{
    return $this->hasMany('App\Image');
}

And then use eager loading to load all images with article:

$article = Article::with('images')->where('id', $articleId)->first();
