laravel get data without applying casts

I am doing 

Model::get()->toArray()

to get all the data from my table but the model has a cast on the dates.

protected $casts = ['date' => 'datetime:D, M d Y'];

I want to be able to get all the data without applying the cast and just the original datetime format. Is there a way to control when the cast is applied.

Solution

  • You can get all attributes as they are, by using

    Model::get()->transform(function ($item) {
    return $item->getOriginal();
}))->toArray();

    Also can use getOriginal() as 

    $model->getOriginal('created_at')

    on any model to get the original value whenever it's needed.

    Note : getOriginal() will include all the $hidden attributes of the model.
