Many times you might want to use this wonderful thing called Route Model Binding in Laravel but back off because you might need its related table data too. Yup! I too had come across this situation.


Example - You want to show Customer details and CustomerAddress details so you would have done something like the following


Common Way

public function show($customer)
{
    $customer = Customer::with('customerAddress')->where('id', $customer)->first();
    return view('customer.show', [
        'customer' => $customer
    ]);
}


But let me explain 2 simple approaches to achieve it.


1) Relationship Table Data Along With Route Model


Route Model Binding (Common Way)

public function show(Customer $customer)
{
    $customerAddress = CustomerAddress::where('id', $customer)->get();
    return view('customer.show', [
        'customer'          => $customer,
        'customerAddress'   => $customerAddress
    ]);
}


Now lets see the simple way


Route Model Binding (Super cool way - load)

public function show(Customer $customer)
{
    /** Super Awesome Right? */
    $customer->load(['customerAddress']);

    return view('customer.show', [
        'customer'          => $customer
    ]);
}


Yup the following is the super cool line.

$customer->load(['customerAddress']);

2) $with In Model (Use wisely)


Make sure to use this wisely as it will load all the related table every time you query.


class Customer extends Model
{
    use SoftDeletes;
    protected $with = ['customerAddress'];
}

Conclusion
