Quick Tip

Find() Many instead of whereIn()

Eloquent method find() may accept multiple parameters, and then it returns a Collection of all records found, not just one Model:

// Returns Model
$user = User::find(1);
 
// Returns Collection
$users = User::find([1,2,3]);

So, instead of doing whereIn(), you can call find() with the list of primary keys.

// Instead of:
$products = Product::whereIn('id', $productIDs)->get();
 
// You can do this
$products = Product::find($productIDs);
