How can I alias a column name in a model? I would like to show idUser instead of id in API responses. So far I've tried the following.
protected $maps = [
'id' => 'idUser',
];
protected $visible = [
'idUser'
];
protected $appends = [
'idUser'
];
This gives me an error:
'Call to undefined method App\User::getIdUserAttribute()'
Also, I would like to alias created_at and updated_at to createdAt and updatedAt.
you can define accessor method in your model like this :
public function getUserIdAttribute($)
{
return $this->id;
}
and then you have to add the attribute name in the $appends array
protected $appends = ['user_id'];
for more details checkout the docs
As @Namoshek's comment, you should be able to return a custom aliases for each column by renaming it.
First, look for which route you want to edit in folder routes/api.php. You can either use callback function or a Controller to manage the response.
// routes/api.php
Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('auth/retrieve-user', function(Request $request) {
$user = Auth::user();
return response()
->json([
'userId' => $user->id,
'createdAt' => $user->created_at,
'updatedAt' => $user->updated_at,
]);
});
