Laravel数组而不是集合

Question

In my Laravel application, I have this model:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Division extends Model
{

    protected $fillable = [
               'name','company_id', 'location_id'
               ];

    protected $casts = [
                'name' => 'string',
                'company_id' => 'integer',
                'location_id' => 'integer'
                ];

    public function company()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Company::class);
    }

    public function location()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(Location::class);
    }

}

$division->company returns a collection

$division->location returns an array

Why this two relations has different results? (Sorry for bad formating....)

Answer 1

As you've just shown in the comments (and then edited), you're using it with get() . That's why you're getting a collection and not an object.

$division->company returns an object. Then you're running another query with $division->company->anotherRelationship()->get() which returns a collection of related objects.
