Laravel all return ID become 0

Question

I've got a problem with all my queries with a varchar ID returning an integer.

For example,a query which should return C-1451963448-MjL returns instead 0.

My query:

$transaction = Transaction::with('user')->get();
return response()->json($transaction);

which returns:

[
  {
    "id": 0,
    "user_id": 8,
    "amount": "56164.00",
    "created_at": "2016-01-05 10:10:48",
    "user": {
      "id": 8,
      "facebook_id": null,
      "first_name": "Alta",
      "last_name": "Keebler",
    }
  },
]

the transaction id becoming 0. Last time I tried it succeeded, but now every ID with varchar returns 0 instead of the real value.

I've tried to foreach the get query, and yes the id is 0. I also tried to dd($transaction) when i checked it, it return me with correct ID.

What should I do to make it work again?

Set $incrementing to false on your model.

public $incrementing = false;

The casts system checks if this is set to true, if it is, it will try to cast the the key field to an int.
