rdx/laravel-eager-relationships

Extend all relationships to optionally include eager loading

Eager relationship loading

If you want certain relationships to eager load depending relationships, but not always on the same models., _(*1)

Different from protected $with

protected $with on a model always loads those relationships when the model is loaded. If you want automatic eager loading sometimes, but not always, this is for you., _(*2)

Usage

Add the trait to your model:, _(*3)

use rdx\laraveleagerrelationships\HasRelationshipsWith;

class User extends Model {
    use HasRelationshipsWith;
}

And change the model's relationships to use its methods:, _(*4)

public function posts() {
    return $this->hasManyWith('categories', Category::class);
}

The differences:, _(*5)

• Add With to the method name: belongsTo becomes belongsToWith etc
• The first argument must be a valid with() argument:
  • string: 'categories'
  • array: ['categories', 'domains', 'logs']

Which relationships?

All current (Laravel 5.2) relationships:, _(*6)

• hasManyWith
• belongsToManyWith
• morphOneWith
• hasOneWith
• belongsToWith
• morphToWith
• hasManyThroughWith
• morphManyWith
• morphToManyWith
• morphedByManyWith

But I've tested only a few., _(*7)
