How to evaluate whenLoaded only when the relationship is preset?

[benjivm]

I have the following property in a data class:

public Lazy|ModelVersionData|null $modelVersion,

It's a belongsTo relationship that is sometimes loaded, and may not exist even when loaded.

When I use the following Lazy loader I received an error:

Lazy::whenLoaded('modelVersion', $model, fn () => ModelVersionData::from($model->modelVersion)),

// Error:
// Could not create a `App\Data\ModelVersionData` object from value with type `NULL`

So I have to write it as this:

Lazy::whenLoaded('modelVersion', $model, fn () => $model->modelVersion ? ModelVersionData::from($model->modelVersion) : null),

Is there a way to make this work more like Laravel's Resources, where it simply returns null if the relationship is empty, even when whenLoaded is true, or am I perhaps doing something wrong?

Hi @benjivm,

This should be fixed in the release later today!
