Laravel - add a class attribute to array

In my Eloquent Model I have added a class attribute:

/**
 * @return bool
 */
public function getIsViewable()
{
    return $this->isViewable;
}

This attribute is not saved in the database as it is just a computed value.

In my controller I have an Eloquent Collection of this object which I convert to an array:

$images = $query->get();
$images = $images->toArray();

How can I add the class attribute property to each image item in the array?

  1. Method should be named getMyVariableAttribute ie. getIsViewableAttribute
  2. On the model add the following protected $appends = ['is_viewable'] in order to get the computed property when serializing.

Your method name is missing the Attribute part. Rename getIsViewable() to getIsViewableAttribute()

/**
 * @return bool
 */
public function getIsViewableAttribute()
{
    return $this->isViewable;
}
