In my case, I have a user, who has many posts that each have comments and my goal is to retrieve only a collection of comments through the use of eloquent relationships (without creating a custom collection and looping, if possible).
Current I have this:
$comments = $user->posts()->with('comments')->get();
This returns a collection of posts with related comments in each of them, however I wish just a collection of comments.
I hope this makes sense - thanks!
