# Laravel 11 Eloquent ORM Advanced Relationships & Scopes

Implements Laravel Eloquent: hasMany, belongsTo, belongsToMany with pivot tables, hasManyThrough, polymorphic relationships (morphTo, morphMany), eager loading (with()), and local/global query scopes.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- eloquent polymorphic relationship
- eager loading with() eloquent
- local query scope laravel

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Define relationship method: public function comments(): MorphMany { return $this->morphMany(Comment::class, 'commentable'); }.
2. Eager load relations: $posts = Post::with(['author', 'tags'])->paginate(20);
3. Define scope: public function scopeActive(Builder $query): void { $query->where('status', 'active'); }
4. Prevent lazy loading in development: Model::preventLazyLoading(!app()->isProduction());

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register(): void
    {
        //
    }

    public function boot(): void
    {
        Model::preventLazyLoading(! $this->app->isProduction());
        Model::preventSilentlyDiscardingAttributes(! $this->app->isProduction());
        Model::preventAccessingMissingAttributes(! $this->app->isProduction());
    }
}

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use App\Models\Comment;
use App\Models\Post;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
use Tests\TestCase;

class EloquentRelationshipTest extends TestCase
{
    use RefreshDatabase;

    public function test_post_has_morph_many_comments_and_eager_loads_cleanly(): void
    {
        $user = User::factory()->create();
        $post = Post::factory()->create(['author_id' => $user->id]);
        
        Comment::factory()->create([
            'commentable_id' => $post->id,
            'commentable_type' => Post::class,
            'user_id' => $user->id,
        ]);

        $retrieved = Post::with(['comments.user', 'author'])->active()->firstOrFail();

        $this->assertTrue($retrieved->relationLoaded('comments'));
        $this->assertTrue($retrieved->relationLoaded('author'));
        $this->assertCount(1, $retrieved->comments);
    }
