Laravel Eloquent Lazy Eager Load Count

Question

I'm ideally looking for a function like

load('relationship')

but which loads a count in the same way

withCount('relationship')

works for eager loading.

I'm thinking it is going to be called loadCount('relationship')

Answer 1

loadCount() is available since Laravel 5.8

$post->loadCount('comments');

$post->comments_count;
