Laravel - foreach on collection

I have a request :

$comments = $post->comments()->with('replyComments:id,post_id,user_id,content,created_at,reply_comment_id')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();

When i try to echo this with a foreach, i have :

foreach ($comments as $comment) {
    echo $comment;
};

Result : {"id":383825,"post_id":553304,"user_id":6,"content":"test","created_at":"2022-04-28 15:16:19","reply_comment_id":null,"reply_comments":[{"id":383826,"post_id":553304,"user_id":6,"content":"reply test","created_at":"2022-04-28 16:20:16","reply_comment_id":383825}]}

But if i do :

foreach ($comments as $comment) {
    echo $comment->replyComments; /* or $comment->reply_comments; */
};

The result is NULL

How could i echo reply_comments ?

Thanks for your help !

EDIT FOR MORE DETAILS :

$comments = $post->comments()->with('likes','replyComments')->orderBy('created_at', 'asc')->get(['id','post_id','user_id','content','created_at','reply_comment_id']);

    foreach($comments as $comment){
        dd($comment);
    }

enter image description here

$comments = $post->comments()->with('likes','replyComments')->orderBy('created_at', 'asc')->get(['id','post_id','user_id','content','created_at','reply_comment_id']);

    foreach($comments as $comment){
        dd($comment->likes);
    }

enter image description here

$comments = $post->comments()->with('likes','replyComments')->orderBy('created_at', 'asc')->get(['id','post_id','user_id','content','created_at','reply_comment_id']);

    foreach($comments as $comment){
        dd($comment->replyComments);
    }

enter image description here

About likes and replyComments, in Comment.php :

public function replyComments()
{
    return $this->hasMany(self::class, 'reply_comment_id', 'id');
}

public function likes()
{
    return $this->hasMany(\App\CommentLike::class, 'comment_id', 'id');
}

`$comment->replyComments` is an array and you should put it in foreach:


 foreach($comment->replyComments as $item){
     echo $item;
 }

or write:

echo $comment->replyComments[0];

If you want to display the replies in one level like Youtube does, you need using the following query:

$post = Post::with('comments.replyComments')->find($id);
$comments = $post->comments;
$replies = $comments->replyComments;

use print_r($comment->replyComments) instead of echo.

reply_comments OR replyComments are not present in the output JSON. Hope you missed it on fetching!

$comments = $post->comments()->with('replyComments:replyComments')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();

This needs to add to the fetch code.

then

foreach ($comments as $comment) {
    echo $comment->replyComments;
};

Or else you can use array.

displayData = [];
foreach ($comments as $comment) {
    displayData[] = $comment->replyComments;
};
echo displayData;
