Eager load relations in Laravel using withWhereHas

When using whereHas in Laravel, it’s not uncommon to also eager load the relation using with.

$posts = Post::query()
->with('author')
->whereHas('author', function (Builder $query) {
$query->where('name', 'Seb');
})
->get();

Laravel also has a more succinct method that combines the two: withWhereHas.

$posts = Post::query()
->withWhereHas('author', function (Builder $query) {
$query->where('name', 'Seb');
})
->get();
