Laravel eager load function limit

Question

I have a working function, however, I'd like to limit the number of treatments, per consultant, that are returned.

Working Example:

Clinic::where('user_id', Auth::id())
            ->with('consultants.specialism', 'consultants.treatments')
            ->first();

Proposed (but not working) example:

Clinic::where('user_id', Auth::id())
            ->with('consultants.specialism')
            ->with(['consultants.treatments' => function ($query) {
                $query->take(3);
            }])
            ->first();

Unfortunately, the take or limit function, limits it to the total number of treatments returned.

What I would like is to limit each consultant's treatments to a maximum of 3, not the total.

How can I achieve this please?

Answer 1

您有两个选择，要么获取所有相关注释，然后使用类似于Collection :: map的内容在php中截断，要么用一个复杂的子查询替换急切的加载

Answer 2

There is no native support for this in Laravel.

I created a package for it: https://github.com/staudenmeir/eloquent-eager-limit

Use the HasEagerLimit trait in both the parent and the related model.

class Consultant extends Model {
    use \Staudenmeir\EloquentEagerLimit\HasEagerLimit;
}

class Treatment extends Model {
    use \Staudenmeir\EloquentEagerLimit\HasEagerLimit;
}

Then you can apply ->take(3) to your relationship.

Answer 3

Try this out

Clinic::where('user_id', Auth::id()) 
->with(['consultants' => function ($query) { 
    $query
    ->with(['specialism','treatments'])
    ->take(3); 
}]) ->first();

I'm on my phone. So excuse my code formatting.
