Laravel allows you to inject modal instance directly into the application route for easy retrieval and auto binding. But sometimes you might require their relationship to be included as well. To achieve this you can make use of the "with" property of the model class or by manually calling the relation through the "load" method.
For example, if you want to include the "comments" relationship to the "post" method, you can define it like below.
For example, if you want to include the "comments" relationship to the "post" method, you can define it like below.
# app/Models/Post.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Post extends Model
{
protected $with = ['commenets'];
Otherwise, you can manually include the relation using the "load" method like below.
# app/Http/Controllers/PostController.php
public function show(Post $post)
{
$postWithComments = $post->load('comments');
dd($postWithComments);
}
