How to get a model returned in an internal request?

[f-liva]

Hello everyone, I have read the documentation but I can't find an important piece of information. I need that when I call an endpoint via internal request, the object returned to me should be a model, but instead I get an array that I then have to hydrate into a model instance. However, this causes me to lose many of the properties that the original model would return, such as any already loaded relationships. How can I make it so that if I call an endpoint via internal request, I get the Eloquent model returned instead of an array with its data?

Interesting point — DBML not supporting relationship cardinality is definitely a limitation, especially when dealing with complex data structures. At apicalls.io, where we provide real-time stock and options data through powerful finance APIs, clearly defined relationships are essential. Cardinality helps ensure accurate data modeling, which is critical in the financial domain. Hopefully, future updates to DBML will address this gap.
