Laravel How to display $hidden attribute on model on paginate

Question

I'm using Laravel 5.5. I read about this and know this function and it works makeVisible

$hidden = ['password', 'remember_token', 'email'];

I can display email using

$profile = auth()->user()->find($request->user()->id);
$profile->makeVisible(['email']);

On the frontend email is displayed. But it not works on many results like

 // Get all users
 $users = User::with('role', 'level')->makeVisible(['email'])->paginate(10); // Doesn't work

Also try this method from Laracasts toJson it works but I can't do it using paginate. Can you provide other methods or how to solve this? My aim is to display email column that is hidden. Thanks.

Answer 1

Another, possible easier solution depending on your requirements, is to call makeVisible on the collection:

// Get all users
$users = User::with('role', 'level')->paginate(10)->makeVisible(['email']);

You can also use this with find or get:

$profile = auth()->user()->find($request->user()->id)->makeVisible(['email']);

Answer 2

You can use this:

    $paginator = User::with('role', 'level')->paginate($pageSize);
    $data = $pagination->getCollection();
    $data->each(function ($item) {
        $item->setHidden([])->setVisible(['email']);
    });
    $paginator->setCollection($data);
    return $paginator;
