Laravel Eloquent: How to get only certain columns from joined tables

Question

I have got 2 joined tables in Eloquent namely themes and users.

theme model:

public function user() {
  return $this->belongs_to(         


        

Answer 1

On Laravel 5.5, the cleanest way to do this is:

Theme::with('user:userid,name,address')->get()

You add a colon and the fields you wish to select separated by a comma and without a space between them.
