Laravel 9: Trouble with Lazy Loading and Nested Relationships Returning Null
I'm learning this framework and After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I'm currently working with Laravel 9 and I'm working with an scenario where lazy loading nested relationships seems to return null unexpectedly. I have a `User` model which has a one-to-many relationship with `Post`, and each `Post` has a many-to-one relationship with `Comment`. When I try to access the `comments` of a user's posts in a nested manner, I get null instead of the expected collection of comments. Here's a simplified version of my code: ```php // User.php public function posts() { return $this->hasMany(Post::class); } // Post.php public function comments() { return $this->hasMany(Comment::class); } // In a controller method $user = User::find(1); $posts = $user->posts; foreach ($posts as $post) { $comments = $post->comments; // This returns null } ``` I have verified that the user with ID 1 does have posts and those posts have comments associated with them. I've also checked the database directly, and the relationships seem to be correctly established. I tried using eager loading with the following code: ```php $user = User::with('posts.comments')->find(1); ``` But when I access the comments like this: ```php foreach ($user->posts as $post) { $comments = $post->comments; } ``` I still encounter the same scenario—comments are returning as null. I'm not seeing any behavior messages, and I've cleared the cache just to be thorough. Could this be an scenario with how I'm structuring my relationships, or might it be something else altogether? Any help would be appreciated! I'm working on a application that needs to handle this. Thanks in advance! This is part of a larger mobile app I'm building. I'd be grateful for any help.
