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

Sometimes you need to make your relation generic so that can call on your ease.

public function car()
{
    return $this->hasOne('Car', 'id');
}

and while fetching you can mention columns you need.

$owners = Owner::with(['car' => function($query) { // eager loading
            $query->select('emailid','name');
           }
          ])->get();

foreach($owners as $owner){
    $owner->car->emailid;
    $owner->car->name;
}
