Is there a way to set an alias to columns using Eloquent? - laravel

Question

Suppose I have a model for a table in which the columns are written in Portuguese. In this way:
class Order extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $fillable = [
'nota_id', 'identificacao'
];
//more..
}
Currently, to set and get values I do as follows:
$order = new Order();
$order->nota_id = 1;
$order->identificacao = '123456';
echo $order->nota_id;
echo $order->identificacao;
Rename columns directly in the table is not an option. But I need to do something like this:
$order = new Order();
$order->invoiceId = 1;
$order->identification = '123456';
echo $order->invoiceId;
echo $order->identification;
And at the end, when I save to the database using eloquent, "invoiceId" and "identification" will be converted to "nota_id" and "identificacao".
Are there any packages that solve this problem?

Answer 1

Your problem can be solved with laravel mutators.
Inside your model you can create mutator/accessor functions (for retrieving & setting values based on your needs) like:
getInvoiceIdAttribute($value)
{
return $this->attributes['nota_id'];
}
getIdentificationAttribute($value)
{
return $this->attributes['identificacao'];
}
Pay attention to the naming i used it's not a random name for your function. The structure must be:
get + the name you want + Attribute

Then to access them you simple do what you did in your expected behaviour:
echo $order->invoiceId;
echo $order->identification;
