Discover a reliable method to programmatically check if a given PHP array is associative (string keys) or sequential (numeric, zero-indexed keys).

Optimize Relationship Queries with Eager Loading and Constraints

Learn to efficiently load related models in Laravel Eloquent using eager loading (`with`) and add specific conditions to the loaded relationships for optimized queries.

Define Reusable Query Constraints with Eloquent Local Scopes
