Just wondering if it is possible that some kind of findOrNew for relationships exist in Eloquent (in case if relationship do not exist attach new model instance)?
What that mean: Lets say that we have devices and specifications tables. Device belongs to specification. Specification_id is an FK (Know that is not best approach, but I have something like this left by previous programmer). Under id 11 we have device that do not have specification but we have to display that for user anyway.
$device = Device::find(11);
echo $device->specification->cpu;
In this case it will throw an error because specification will be null - it do not exist for device with id 11.
Know that I could check first if it exist but there a a lot of similar lines and app is pretty big. I need to move it from Kohana to Laravel. It works in Kohana because empty object is loaded then and 2nd line just return null. For Laravel I can just check if relationship exist and load new model then but I am curios if maybe there is any other and better way?
