How to get nested relational models in laravel

Question

I have 3 models.

The relation between the model:

I want to get all the replies of all the comments of a single post. Is there any query to get all the replies of a post?

`$post->load('comments.replies');` where `comments` is a relationship on `Post` model and `replies` is a relationship on `Comment` model — Arun A S, May 26 '20 at 11:09
https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent-relationships and https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/eloquent-collections you should have a look at the docs — Cornel Raiu, May 26 '20 at 11:10
@ArunAS I saw the answer, but `$post->load('comments.replies');` is the answer I am looking for. — Yeasir Arafat, May 26 '20 at 11:19

Use Eager loading to get the nested relationship:

Post::with('comments.replies')->get();

Why eager and not lazy? – Cornel Raiu May 26 '20 at 11:16
If by lazy you mean *lazy eager* loading, they both do the same functionality, so its up for the Programmer to decide which to use. – Makdous May 26 '20 at 11:25
