In your many-to-many relationships, you can add where statements to your pivot table using the wherePivot method.
class Developer extends Model{ // Get all clients related to this developer public function clients() { return $this->belongsToMany(Clients::class); } // Get only local clients public function localClients() { return $this->belongsToMany(Clients::class) ->wherePivot('is_local', true); }}
