Eager loading on Auth::user() ??

To address the N+1 query problem you're experiencing with the Auth::user() and the hasLiked method, you can use eager loading to preload the relationships. This will reduce the number of queries executed when checking if a user has liked a post.

Here's how you can modify your code to include eager loading:

1. Define the Relationship Properly: Ensure that your relationships are correctly defined in your models. It seems like you have two likes methods, which might be a typo. Make sure you have distinct methods for each relationship.

2. Eager Load the Relationship: When retrieving the authenticated user, you can eager load the likes relationship. This can be done using the with method.

Here's an example of how you can implement this:

// In your controller or wherever you retrieve the user
$user = Auth::user()->load('likes');

// Now, when you check if the user has liked a post, it will use the preloaded data
$isLiked = $user->likes->contains($capsule->id);

// In your Blade template
{{ $isLiked ? 'text-red-500 fill-red-500' : 'text-gray-900' }}

3. Optimize the hasLiked Method: If you have a custom method like hasLiked in your User model, ensure it uses the preloaded relationship:

public function hasLiked($capsule)
{
    return $this->likes->contains($capsule->id);
}

By eager loading the likes relationship, you reduce the number of queries to just one for loading the user and their likes, instead of one query per post to check if it's liked. This should significantly improve performance and resolve the N+1 query issue.
