......@@ -406,6 +406,28 @@ You may even eager load nested relationships. For example, let's assume our **Au
$books = Book::with(array('author', 'author.contacts'))->get();
If you find yourself eager loading the same models often, you may want to use **$includes** in the model.
class Book extends Eloquent {
public $includes = array('author');
public function author()
{
return $this->belongs_to('Author');
}
}
**$includes** takes the same arguments that **with** takes. The following is now eagerly loaded.
foreach (Book::all() as $book)
{
echo $book->author->name;
}
> **Note:** Using **with** will override a models **$includes**.
