For belongsTo relationship, instead of passing parent's ID when creating child record, use hasMany relationship to make a shorter sentence.
// if Post -> belongsTo(User), and User -> hasMany(Post)...// Then instead of passing user_id...Post::create([ 'user_id' => auth()->id(), 'title' => request()->input('title'), 'post_text' => request()->input('post_text'),]); // Do thisauth()->user()->posts()->create([ 'title' => request()->input('title'), 'post_text' => request()->input('post_text'),]);
