How to alias the name of a column in Eloquent

Question

I have an eloquent model named Eloquent:

Products::where(\"actice\", \"=\", true)->get()->toArray();

Now I want to add join-statement

Answer 1

On Laravel 5.4 (I don't know if earlier version also apply) you can do that with the select method:

Products::where("actice", "=", true)
    ->joinWithTags
    ->select('tags.name AS tag_name', 'products.*')
    ->get();

At least for me this is cleaner.
