how to add custom attribute in controller laravel

I am using laravel and I want to add dynamic custom attribute in controller

I know there is a way like this

      public function getFullNameAttribute()
        {
            return $this->first_name.' '.$this->last_name;
        }

now you can get full name as:

    $user = User::find(1);
    $user->full_name;

but it is in Model I want to declare custom att in controller is it possible?

Why not in model? Eloquent has a great feature called “Accessors”. The feature allows you to add custom fields to models that don’t exist on the model or in the table.

function getFullNameAttribute() {
    return sprintf('%s %s', $this->first_name, $this->last_name);
}

Now you have access to a full_name attribute on the model, same as you mentioned:

$user = User::find(1);
$user->full_name;
