If you notice that you use same relationship often with additional "where" or "orderBy" condition, you can create a separate relationship method.
Model:
// Model:public function comments(){ return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);} public function approvedComments(){ return $this->comments() ->where('approved', 1);} public function latestApprovedComments(){ return $this->comments() ->where('approved', 1) ->orderBy('created_at', 'desc');}
