How to load Laravel with nested models and limit the nested models?

Question

Hello guys I am using Laravel 5.6 I have three tables in the database posts,comments and replies and three models Post , Comment , Reply

the relations are as follow

Answer 1

There is no native support for this in Laravel.

I created a package for it: https://github.com/staudenmeir/eloquent-eager-limit

Use the HasEagerLimit trait in both the parent and the related model.

class Post extends Model {
    use \Staudenmeir\EloquentEagerLimit\HasEagerLimit;
}

class Comment extends Model {
    use \Staudenmeir\EloquentEagerLimit\HasEagerLimit;
}

Then you can apply ->take(3) to your relationship.

The same goes for the replies.
