get attribute accessor only for specific method in laravel

Question

I want to modify some values of my query result for API call. here's my query

public function modules()
{
    Module::select('id','name','image')->get()->toJson();
}

so I want to modify image value, add full path to it. I added accessor

public function getImageAttribute($image)
{
    return asset($image);
}

and it works fine, but the problem is now it will be affecting this column every time i try to retrieve it. is there way to use this accessor(getImageAttribute) only for modules method?

You could get rid of the accessor and update the image path inside the modules method.

public function modules()
{
    return Module::select('id', 'name', 'image')->get()->map(function ($module) {
        $module->image = asset($module->image);
        return $module;
    })->toJson();
}
