Laravel's Eloquent object-relational mapper (ORM) is one of the most-loved features of the framework. Eloquent makes it easy to connect to relational data in a database and work with it using Object-Oriented models in your Laravel app. It is simple to set up, easy to use, and packs a lot of power.

In this Coffee Break Course, we'll take a look at relationships in Eloquent. You'll learn how to use relations and how they translate into SQL queries, and I'll also explain some of the magic that Laravel performs behind the scenes.
