Laravel Adjacency List

When to use this skill

Use this skill when working with staudenmeir/laravel-adjacency-list in a Laravel 11+ application:

• Building hierarchical/tree data structures (categories, menus, org charts, nested comments)
• Traversing ancestors, descendants, siblings, or bloodlines recursively
• Working with directed graphs with multiple parents per node (BOM, family trees)
• Querying tree depth, paths, or ordering (breadth-first, depth-first)
• Generating nested tree structures from flat query results
• Combining recursive relationships with other Eloquent relationships
• Filtering models by position in a tree (root, leaf, has children, has parent)

composer require staudenmeir/laravel-adjacency-list:"^1.0"
