In a recent project I had to add a constraint to a relationship to make sure it only loads one of a relationship data. In the documentation it shows how you will use a one-to-many relationship by defining a $this->hasMany() relationship. Therefore if you have an application with a user where you keep track of all their activities you may have a model like this.

$user = User::with('activities')->find(1); This will return the user object with a relationship node of all the activities connected to this user.

class User extends Authenticatable { public function activities() { return $this->hasMany('App\Activities'); } public function lastActivitiy() { return $this->hasOne('App\Activities')->orderBy('created_at', 'DESC'); }}
