Laravel Nested Eager Loading on Polymorphic Relationships

Sometimes you need to eager load different relationships depending on the type of model on a polymorphic relationship.

tip

For example: you have two type of users seller and buyer, the eager load relationship for seller is the product and the eager load relationship for buyer is the order.

  • First setup the Models. 
class Seller extends Model { public function products() { return $this->hasMany(Product::class); } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
class Buyer extends Model { public function orders() { return $this->hasMany(Order::class); } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
class Profile extends Model { public function user() { return $this->morphTo(); } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • Then load the relations like the following: 
Profile:with('user', function (MorphTo $morphTo) { // Eager load the products for seller. // Eager load the orders for buyer 👇 $morphTo->morphWith([ Seller::class => ['products'], Buyer::class => ['orders'], ]); })->get();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
