Counting Related Models In Laravel

Very often when retrieving a model in Laravel, it is useful to load a count of related models at the same time. For example, when loading a blog post, you might want to display the number of comments left on that post.

$posts = Post::withCount('comments')->get();

What's more, as of Laravel 8, you can also make use of the withMin, withMax, withAvg, withSum, and withExists methods.
