Get Specific Columns Using “With()” Function in Laravel Eloquent

Question

I have two tables, User and Post. One User can have many posts and one post belongs to only one user

Answer 1

In your Post model:

public function userWithName()
{
    return $this->belongsTo('User')->select(array('id', 'first_name', 'last_name'));
}

Now you can use $post->userWithName
