I have a simple set-up of Albums and Images, each album has many images. I can get all the data fine but I want to limit the returned number of images to 3. I have tried passing a closure like so:
Album::with(['images' => function($query) { $query->take(3);}])->get();
This does limit the number of images to 3 but it limits the total count of images to 3 but I want to limit each album to 3 images. So the first album will show 3 images as expected but all the other albums have no images.
I have tried adding a new method to my model like so:
public function limitImages()
{
return $this->hasMany('App\Image')->limit(3);
}
And I call this in my controller:
Album::with('limitImages')->get();
But this doesn't limit the image count returned at all
