Why are hidden elements visible in JsonResource?

Question

Laravel

Laravel 5.6
Has a User model
It has

protected $hidden = [
        'email'
    ];

So, I created UserResource (for API):

public function toArray($request)
{
  return [
     'email' => $this->email, // email отображается
     'email' => $this->resource->email, // email отображается
  ]
}

I had to do the following:

public function toArray($request)
{
  $hidden = $this->resource->getHidden();
  return [
     'email' => in_array('email', $hidden) ? null : $this->resource->email, // email не отображается
  ]
}

That is, laravel knows that this is a hidden field, but it still shows it
. Maybe I'm getting the parameter wrong somehow?

Answer 1

Because you access it through a magic getter on the resource object ( $this->email), which in turn simply pulls the same field on the resource (model). $hiddenthe model hides the field only when ->toArray(), but it is still in the attributes.
Everything is logical and should work this way) Outputs:
1) remove from the resource 2) do'email' => $this->email

class UserResource {
    private $includeEmail = false;

    public function toArray($request) {
        return [
            'email' => $this->when($this->includeEmail, $this->email)
        ];
    }

    public function includeEmail() {
        $this->includeEmail = true;

        return $this;
    }
}

And later do in the controller. return (new UserResource($model))->includeEmail();
