We often listen to the words “Eager Loading” & “Lazy Loading” in Laravel<\/a>. but maybe some of how still don’t know what that actually stands for.<\/p>

What Lazy Loading means?<\/h2>

I worked with many projects that is developed by some other developers and the common problems in code I found us Lazy Loading queries everywhere.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

To understand it more easily let’s take one simple example.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Let’s say There is Post<\/span> model and Comments<\/span> Model.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So basically post->hasMany(‘comments’)<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So let’s say we are fetching 10 posts and now we want the comments of each post. what we will do is :<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

$post->comments()->get()<\/span> (LAZY LOADING)<\/p>

Lazy loading cause N+1 queries issues as every time we are fetching comments of each post and it will block the execution too for while as its queries from the DB.<\/p>

What Eager Loading means?<\/h2>

Eager loading is very useful when we are working with large-scale projects. it saves lot’s of execution time and even DB queries too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Let’s take the above example to understand the Eager loading.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

$posts = Post::with(‘comments’)->get()<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

$post->comments<\/span> (EAGER LOADING)<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

here when we retrieve the posts at that time we are fetching its comments too on the same query. so when we do $post->comments it will not again do query into DB or not even block execution as the comments are already there in model instance.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So this is how Eager loading saves your time and also prevents N+1 Query.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Hope that helps.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n
