Column name change

In Eloquent or Query Builder method select(), you can specify "as" to return any column with a different name, just like in plain SQL query.

$users = User::select('email')->get();
 
/* RESULT:
array:1 [▶
    0 => App\Models\User {#3204 ▼
      email: "geovanni.schulist@example.org"
    }
  ]
*/
 
$users = User::select('email as user_email')->get();
 
/* RESULT:
array:1 [▶
    0 => App\Models\User {#3204 ▼
      user_email: "geovanni.schulist@example.org"
    }
  ]
*/
