Change field/attribute value in model - Laravel

Question

I have the table products with price column. In model I would like to do something like this:

public function getPriceAttribute()
{
    return number_format($this->price);
}

So in view I use

{{ $property->price }} €

and get the value 200 instead 200.00 how is decimal from database.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

This is what solved my problem:

public function getPriceAttribute()
{
    return number_format($this->attributes['price']);
}

This will overwrite the $property->price value (as per comments)

Answer 2

You can do so by passing original value as argument, like this:

public function getPriceAttribute($price)
{
   return number_format($price);
}
