🔥 #Laravel Eloquent Models - [ 🥷🏻 "hidden" properties ]
We are all familiar with $table, $fillable, $dates and $appends and a few more but did you know there are more undocumented properties that we can make use of in our Laravel models?

Here is the complete list 🧵 👇🏻

1️⃣ You can specify the relations to eager load on every query for that model using $with

2️⃣ You can set how the relationship counts that should be eager loaded on every query for a given model

3️⃣ You can enable or disable lazy loading for a model using $preventsLazyLoading

4️⃣ You can limit the number of models to return for pagination using $perPage

5️⃣ You can indicate if the model was inserted during the current request lifecycle using $wasRecentlyCreated

6️⃣ If you want the object's string representation to be escaped when __toString is invoked you can set $escapeWhenCastingToString to true

7️⃣ You can indicate if broadcasting is currently enabled for a model using $isBroadcasting

8️⃣
