Laravel-5 return eloquent object when running MySQL stored procedure

Question

I would like to know if it's possible to return a MySQL stored procedure call as an eloquent object.

The below call works fine for me, but $result always returns an array instead of the usual Eloquent object.

$result = DB::select('call bookings_by_voucher()');

Does anyone know how to return this as an object, so that I can use ->count(), ->get() etc.

Answer 1

You must pass the array into a new instance of your eloquent object.

$booking = new Booking($result);
