Call to undefined method Grimzy\LaravelMysqlSpatial\Eloquent\SpatialExpression::getLat() - laravel-5

Question

I'm using laravel-mysql-spatial package to store geo-cordinates in database. while using it in other places like, everything works fine. but when I use it in an observer, the error came
Call to undefined method Grimzy\LaravelMysqlSpatial\Eloquent\SpatialExpression::getLat()
The following code is not giving point object.
public function created(Beneficiary $beneficiary)
{
dd($beneficiary);
}
but when I retrive the data using the created id like below, it worked fine then
public function created(Beneficiary $beneficiary)
{
$beneficiary = Beneficiary::find($beneficiary->id);
dd($beneficiary);
}
but the above is not considered as a good practice. I'm already having an object and making an another call for it.
Expected Result. This result came after I make a call to retrieve the same data
#attributes: array:19 [▼
"id" => 95
"name" => "Test beneficiary"
"phone" => "80572*****"
"coordinates" => Point {#547 ▼
#lat: 30.3165
#lng: 78.0322
}
This is how I'm getting the result.
#attributes: array:16 [▼
"name" => "Test beneficiary"
"phone" => "80572*****"
"coordinates" => SpatialExpression {#521 ▼
#value: Point {#510 ▼
#lat: 30.3165
#lng: 78.0322
}
}

Answer 1

Do the following:
$p = Point::fromWKT($elm->coordinates->getSpatialValue());
Now you can use:
$p->getLng()
$p->getLat()
