Avoiding n queries on API list call for database-calculated model attributes

I am cleaning up a quite messy php laravel 8 project right now.

Currently my ressource looks like this:

class MyModelSimpleResource extends JsonResource
{
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [
            'id' => $this->id,
            'name' => $this->name,
            'my_calculated_attribute' => MyModel::whereRaw('fk_id = ? AND model_type = "xyz"', [$this->id])->count(),
        ];
    }
}

My problem is that on calling the API endpoint, for every record of MyModel it creates a separate query to calculate my_calculated_attribute.

I know that you can define foreign key constrains in the model like and query like this:

MyModel::with('myFkModel')->get()

This works great for foreign keys. But how can I avoid n queries when I need this my_calculated_attribute.

Thanks a lot!

PS: I know that raw queries are a bad idea and I know that the resource is supposed to transform data and not query it. 😅

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE".
