Lazy Load

Instead of doing this:

$purchase = Purchase::where('id', $id)->with('details')->first();
$purchase->details

Do this:

$purchase = Purchase::where('id', $id)->first();
$purchase->details

Laravel will query the details when/if you need to use the details

Simplify with eloquent:

before:

$result = Transfer::where('id', $id)->get();
$result[0]

after:

$result = Transfer::find($id);
$result
