Eloquent Log Lazy Loading

Warning

This package is abandonned as it hasn't been updated since Laravel 5, and the functionality has been baked into recent versions of Laravel via the Model::handleLazyLoadingViolationUsing method.

Log (or disable) Eloquent lazy-loaded relationships in Laravel 5 to speed up your application.

Eloquent Log Lazy Loading

Why You Might Want This Package

Eloquent's lazy-loading is great. You can do Group::find($id) in your controller, and then loop through $group->users in your template without needing to worry about the database queries that run under-the-hood.

The problem comes when you try and loop through $group->users->addresses, or some other relation. You may inadvertently be running an SQL query for each iteration of that loop. If you are running a site that gets millions of hits a day, this might not be a good thing!

By logging where your script is lazy-loading relationships, you may be able to optimize your application to avoid unnecessary database calls. At the very least you can see where the bottlenecks are. And, if you want, you can disable lazy-loading entirely and only allow explicitly loaded relations from being accessed.

Installation

Install the package via composer:

$ composer require cviebrock/eloquent-log-lazy-loading

That's it!

Usage

Your models should use the LogLazyLoading trait:

use Cviebrock\EloquentLogLazyLoading\LogLazyLoading;

class MyModel extends Eloquent
{
    use LogLazyLoading;
}

When you attempt to lazy load a relationship, the package will report a LazyLoadingException exception and continue normally (i.e. it will load the relationship). This is a great way to check where your application is doing lazy-loading and allows you to refactor, possibly reducing the number of database queries that are called.

However, if you really want to go hard core and halt your application when a relation is lazy-loaded, then just set the disableLazyLoading property on your model to true. The exception will be thrown, and not just reported.

use Cviebrock\EloquentLogLazyLoading\LogLazyLoading;

class MyModel extends Eloquent
{
    use LogLazyLoading;
    
    protected $disableLazyLoading = true;
}
