Laravel Model Relations fetch automatically all other model relations too - laravel

Question

I'm hoping someone can help me.
I have 3 models like User, Task and Subtask.
These are already linked via hasOne or hasMany.
Everything works fine.
Now I call the data via Task::where(..)->with(['user','subtask'])... and get the corresponding results.
The problem is that Subtask has a reference to User and I don't get the user information queried when I use the task model.
If I use the subtask model I get the user information.
How can I set up that all references to the queried models are also queried simultaneously from the database?

To return more relationships data at once, you can use the following mechanism:
$Data = $Task::where(...)
->with([
'user'=>function($userQuery){
// mechanism is recursive; you can extend it to infinity :)
$userQuery->with([
'other',
'relationships',
'here'=>function($hereQuery){ ... }
]);
},
'subTask',
'anotherRelationship' => function($anotherRelationship) {
$anotherRelationship->select('column');
$anotherRelationship->where('column2', 'whatever');
}
])
->get();
// dump data
dd($Data);
I don't know if you're looking for this -- if you want to load some relationships once the model is instantiated, you can append a magic variable $with inside your model code and specify which relationships you want to load:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Task extends Model
{
protected $fillable = ['col1', 'col2', 'col3', ...];
// specify which relationships you want to load automatically
protected $with = [
'users',
'anotherRelationship'=>function($anotherRelationshipQuery){
$anotherRelationshipQuery->select( ... );
},
'andSomeOtherRelationship'
...
];
...
}
Now you no longer need to manually load the relationships when retrieving data. They're loaded automatically:
$Data = $Tast::where( ... )->get();
dd($Data);
