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);     }}
