Storing IDs vs Models in Collection

#1

What seems to be the problem:
I’m trying to create an Inventory manager, currently working on the Order page
What I currently have going is a “select” for adding products. This adds the selected product(s) model to a collection $orderProducts.

Would I be better off just storing the IDs instead of models? If so, how can I optimally fetch all product data to display in the list?

Are you using the latest version of Livewire:
Yes

Do you have any screenshots or code examples:

// Livewire Component
public $allProducts;
public $orderProducts;
public $newProduct = null;

public function mount() {
        $this->allProducts = Product::all();
        $this->orderProducts = collect();
}

public function addProduct() {

        if($this->newProduct !== null) {

            $product = Product::find($this->newProduct);

            $this->orderProducts->push($product->toArray());

            $this->newProduct = null;

        }

}
