If you have a callback function that you need to re-use multiple times, you can assign it to a variable, and then re-use.
$userCondition = function ($query) { $query->where('user_id', auth()->id());}; // Get articles that have comments from this user// And return only those comments from this user$articles = Article::with(['comments' => $userCondition]) ->whereHas('comments', $userCondition) ->get();
