Laravel Eager Loading - Load only specific columns

Question

I am trying to eager load a model in laravel but only return certain columns. I do not want the whole eager loaded table being presented.

public function car         


        

Answer 1

In your controller you should be doing something like

App\Car::with('owner:id,name,email')->get();

Supposing that you have two models defined like below

belongsTo('App\Owner', 'owner_id');
    }
}

and

hasMany('App\Car', 'owner_id');
    }
}

and you have two tables something like:

owners: id | name | email | phone | other_columns...

and

cars: id | owner_id | make | color | other_columns...
