Quick Tip

Eager load relationship

If you use Route Model Binding and think you can't use Eager Loading for relationships, think again.

So you use Route Model Binding

public function show(Product $product) {
//
}

But you have a belongsTo relationship, and cannot use $product->with('category') eager loading?

You actually can! Load the relationship with ->load()

public function show(Product $product) {
$product->load('category');
//
}
