How to exclude certains columns while using eloquent

Question

When I\'m using eloquent, I can use the \"where\" method then the method \'get\' to fill an object containing what I\'ve selected in my database. I mean:

$us         


        

Answer 1

I have a solution that worked for me, which is slightly different than those already stated.

Solution:

$all_columns = Schema::getColumnListing('TABLE_NAME');
$exclude_columns = ['COLUMN_TO_EXCLUDE_1', 'COLUMN_TO_EXCLUDE_2'];
$get_columns = array_diff($all_columns, $exclude_columns);

return User::select($get_columns)->get();

Reasoning:

For me:

1. Razor's answer didn't work as I got the following error:

BadMethodCallException with message 'Call to undefined method App/CaseStudy::exclude()'

2. Then, the remaining answers were attemping to hide the columns within the model. Unfortunately, that would hide them for each method in my class and this isn't something that I wanted.

So, in the end, I modified Razor's solution so that it would work without having to hide any of the columns for each method.

I hope this helps someone!

Answer 2

you can use hidden array like this:

class Promotion extends Model
{
    protected $table = 'promotion';
    protected $hidden = array('id');
}
