You can not only specify what relationships to ALWAYS load with the model, but you can do it dynamically, in the constructor method:
class ProductTag extends Model{ protected $with = ['product']; public function __construct() { parent::__construct(); $this->with = ['product']; if (auth()->check()) { $this->with[] = 'user'; } }}
