How to send specific fields in Laravel Resource

Question

I need to send specific fields from the API resource

here is my User resource code

namespace App\Http\Resources;

use App\Models\MediaFile;
use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\JsonResource;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

class User extends JsonResource
{
    /**
     * Transform the resource into an array.
     *
     * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
     * @return array
     */
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        $attributes = $this->getAttributes();
        unset($attributes['password']);

        return [
            'type' => 'users',
            'attributes' => $attributes,
        ];
    }
}

Below are my attributes

"attributes": {
        "id": "1",
        "email": "email",
        "full_name": "Name",
        "permission": "admin",
        "security_key": "alpha",
        "token": "encrypted token",
        "two_factor_enabled": "true",
        "created_at": "2020-05-15 08:56:50",
        "updated_at": "2020-05-15 08:56:57",
      }

I would like hide specific fields in specific routes. How can I implement this?

$hidden will hide, for all the routes. But i need to hide specific fields in specific methods — Satish Ravipati

use makeHidden

$user = \App\Models\User::firstOrFail();

$user->makeHidden(['email', 'phone']);

return $user;

You can use two approaches:

$attributes = [
    "id"=> "1",
    "email" => "pera",
    "full_name" => "Name",
    "permission" => "admin",
    "security_key" => "alpha",
    "token" => "encrypted token",
    "two_factor_enabled" => "true",
    "created_at" => "2020-05-15 08:56:50",
    "updated_at" => "2020-05-15 08:56:57",
];

PHP approach: unset($attributes['id'], $attributes['security_key']);
Laravel approach: Arr::except($attributes, ['id','security_key']);
