PHP documentation for conditional polymorphic calls

Question

For $item, there is a polymorphic recordable relationship. In the database, this is stored in the loggable_type and loggable_id fields in the items table (works in PHP 8+ and Laravel). For each $item within $items, I'm trying to type-hint it.

Assign it to a variable

for($items as $item) {
    if ($item->loggable_type === Comment::class) {
        /** @var Comment $loggable */
        $loggable = $item->loggable;
        
        $loggable->resetDates();
    }
}
