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

If I good understood this what is returned is fine except you want to see only one column. If so this below should be much simpler:

return Response::eloquent(Theme::with('user')->get(['username']));
