Illuminate support collection and getting multiple values by pluck

I have Collection like this

  [  
     {  
        "user_id":1,
        "chat_id":1,
        "chat_hidden":0,
        "access_time":"2017-06-10 00:28:11",
        "name":"Dr. Harley Raynor",
        "image_url":null
     },
     {  
        "user_id":1,
        "chat_id":2,
        "chat_hidden":1,
        "access_time":"2017-06-12 10:59:37",
        "name":"Dr. Harley Raynor",
        "image_url":null
     }
  ]

if i want to take only user_id from it, and format array like this 

  [  
     {  
        "user_id":1
     },
     {  
        "user_id":1
     }
  ]

i write Collection()->pluck('user_id') and everything works fine, but what if i need to take several items? Like user_id and chat_id? I tried ->pluck('user_id', 'chat_id'), ->pluck(['user_id', 'chat_id']) and ->only('user_id', 'chat_id') nothing seems to work.

Just use map;

$myCollection->map(function($item) {
    return [
       'user_id' => $item->user_id,
       ....
    ];
});

But if you are building an api, I strongly recommend you to use some sort of transformers such https://github.com/spatie/laravel-fractalto handle inclusion and exclusion in the future as the service mature.
