A Laravel Eloquent extension that adds recursive relationships for traversing tree and graph data structures using common table expressions (CTEs). It supports one-to-many hierarchies like nested comments and many-to-many graphs, with features like depth, path, cycle detection, and nested results.

Use cases

• query hierarchical categories with parent-child relationships in Laravel
• traverse nested comments or page hierarchies with Eloquent
• load entire ancestor or descendant trees of a node recursively
• model many-to-many graph relationships with multiple parents
• detect cycles in recursive data structures
• get node depth and path in a hierarchy via CTEs

When to choose

• you use Laravel Eloquent and need recursive tree or graph queries
• your database supports CTEs (MySQL 8+, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server)
• you need hierarchical data features like depth, path, or cycle detection out of the box

When to avoid

• you are not using Laravel or Eloquent ORM
• your database does not support recursive CTEs
• you only need simple one-level parent-child relations without recursion
