How to force eager load in Laravel

You can force your app to eager load in Laravel using this method in the Service Provider.

This code will throw an exception if you don’t eager load a relationship (except in production).

// app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

public function boot()
{
  Model::preventLazyLoading(
    !$this->app->isProduction()
  );
}
