Hello.
I was wondering if model relationships, using belongsTo, that it only fetches if there is a match
Let's say i pull all comments from the database. Every comment have a post_id
If this post_id retrives a row that dosent existst, it dosent fetch the comment either?
No, model relations only make a request when you call the relation.
$comments = CommentsModel::find(); // This fetches all your comments
foreach ($comments as $comment) {
echo $comment->id; // Properties from Comments table
echo $comment->post->title; // This way you access the posts table, because this comment belongsTo a post.
}If the post does not exist it will NOT affect your comments query.
Okay thanks for your answer
