Is there a way to get all objects from a specific model, and only pass specific fields to the front end?

I have a model User, which has fields such as password, that I do not want to pass to the front end.

I'm currently running the following operation:

$result = Model_Tmuser::query()->where('username', 'like', "%user1%")->get();

$json = Format::forge($result)->to_json();

return $json;

This way, the password is passed inside the json for every user retrieved..

I thought of the alternative of writing a query selecting only the columns I need, and using DB::query()... However, this way, I would not be using the model, and I would have to type every single column, for every single model I want to do this to..

Thanks

Only on a per-object bases.

You can define a static property in your model called "$_to_array_exclude" which is an array of model properties you don't want to expose (so it acts like a filter).

Then do

foreach ($result as $key => $value)
{
$result[$key] = $value->to_array();
}
$json = Format::forge($result)->to_json();

You can control whether or not custom properties, relations or EAV values are included in the result using the parameters of the to_array() method.
