How to query through nested Laravel relationships the eloquent ORM way - php

Question

I have a relationship that is almost 5 levels deep.
In my blades I use this all time without a problem. For example:
{{ $user->team->department->region->company->name ?? ''}}
How would I go about querying all users that belong to a company?
$users = User::where($user->team->department->region->company->id, '=', 1)->get(); ?????
Company Relationships:
class Company extends Model
{
public function region() {
return $this->hasMany('App\Region', 'company_id', 'id');
}
}
Region Relationships:
class Region extends Model
{
public function company() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Company', 'id', 'company_id');
}
public function department() {
return $this->hasMany('App\Department', 'region_id', 'id');
}
}
Department Relationships:
class Department extends Model
{
public function region() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Region', 'id', 'region_id');
}
public function team() {
return $this->hasMany('App\Team', 'department_id', 'id');
}
}
Team Relationships:
class Team extends Model
{
public function department() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Department', 'id', 'department_id');
}
public function user() {
return $this->hasMany('App\User', 'team_id', 'id');
}
}
User Relationships:
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
public function team() {
return $this->hasOne('App\Team', 'id', 'team_id');
}
}
I know there must be some easy way to query through nested relationships that Laravel provides a way for or a some facility for, but I have yet to find any decent examples from Googling around.

You can use this package for your need.
https://github.com/staudenmeir/eloquent-has-many-deep
read the instructions, depth of the relationship is not limited.
