php - Laravel, how to ignore an accessor

Question

I have a model with a custom accessor so I get that custom attribute,

    class Order extends GSModel{

        $appends = ['orderContents'];

        public function getOrderContentsAttribute()
        {
            return $this->contents()->get();
        } 
 }

But now, in one case, I need to get only some fields, without this OrderContents one.

$openOrders         = Order::open()->has('contents')->get(['id','date','tableName']);

But doing it this way, it returns me the OrderContents as well.. is there a way to not get that field?

Thanks!

Disappointing that people here gave you false information. There is in fact a built in method of achieving this, written straight into the IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel class, called Model::getOriginal.

To retrieve the foo attribute, ignoring its accessor defined in Model::getFooAttribute, just call $myModel->getOriginal('foo');. This method is defined on line 3087 of IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel.

Keep in mind that this method gets the original value on the model. This means that if you make any modifications to the attribute on that model instance, the above solution will not reflect those modifications. As long as you are just retrieving the value, you should have no problem.
