Nested database seeding for Laravel 8

Laravel 8 has some changes in database seeding. I want to seed some related models with database seeder. There are three models: User, Post, Comment. A user has many posts, and a post has many comments. Now I want to create some users with some related posts and some comments related to the post. I can only seed some user and the related posts, but not comments related to the posts. I have the code below:

User::factory(10)->hasPosts(rand(5, 10))->create();

It created 10 users and 5 to 10 related posts for each user. What can I do to seed the comments? Can I do it in the single line or do I need to to to new line? Note: I have created the factory for each model.

You can try

User::factory(10)->has(
    Post::factory(random_int(5,10))
        ->has(Comment::factory(random_int(2,3)))
)->create();
