💡 Understanding with() vs whereHas() in Laravel Eloquent

with() — Eager Loading

$users = User::with('posts')->get();

whereHas() — Filtering Based on Relationship

$users = User::whereHas('posts', function ($q) {

    $q->where('status', 'published');

})->get();

📌 Key Difference

with() = data loading optimization

whereHas() = data filtering logic

User::with('posts')

    ->whereHas('posts', function ($q) {

        $q->where('status', 'published');

    })

    ->get();
