whenLoaded vs whenCounted

Your question

At present I send a state to a factory to generate the recommendations. On the Resource when I attempt to generate a count on recommendations nothing is generated in the example output.

'value' => $this->whenCounted('recommendations', fn () => $this->recommendations_count),
However using the whenLoaded method generates the recommendation on the resource.

'value' => $this->whenLoaded('recommendations', fn () => $this->recommendations->count()),
Is whenCounted not supported by Scribe?

• I've checked the docs, the troubleshooting guide, and existing issues, but I didn't find a solution

You need to understand that the people that maintain this (me) are devs just like you.😅 Laravel has many features; very hard for one person to know them all (and I rarely work with Laravel these days). I'd never even heard of that whenCounted method before now.

I'd ask you to dig into the Scribe source code a bit. I recall someone making an issue about whenLoaded some time back, and contributing a patch that led to it working in Scribe, so maybe you can do something similar in Scribe? There's probably a test for it somewhere, that you can use as a starting point.

Ah, I think this is another person with the same issue: #620

Gonna close this one in favour of that.
