How to parse field name using laravel - arrays

Question

My Controller Code:
public function usersGroups(Request $request)
{
$resultArray = [];
$users = DB::table('users')
->join('user_basic_info','users.id','=','user_basic_info.user_id')
->select('users.id','user_basic_info.first_name')->get();
$resultArray['users'] = $users;
$groups = DB::table('group')
->select('group.id','group.name')->get();
$resultArray['groups'] = $groups;
return \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Response::json($resultArray, 200);
}
My Response:
{
"users": [
{
"id": 1,
"first_name": "Admin"
},
{
"id": 2,
"first_name": "Admin"
},
{
"id": 3,
"first_name": "Admin"
},
{
"id": 4,
"first_name": "Admin"
}
],

{
"id": 1,

Answer 1

You can simply make an alias using MySQL:
$users = DB::table('users')
->join('user_basic_info','users.id','=','user_basic_info.user_id')
->select('users.id','user_basic_info.first_name as name')->get();
Notice the as name in the select query.

Answer 2

Use an API Resource
These are classes that let you transform your models to whatever JSON format/layout you want.

Answer 3

i am not so good in api but you can achive it through setting alaias name
public function usersGroups(Request $request)
{
$resultArray = [];
$users = DB::table('users')
->join('user_basic_info','users.id','=','user_basic_info.user_id')
->select('users.id','user_basic_info.first_name as name')->get();
$resultArray['users'] = $users;
$groups = DB::table('group')
->select('group.id','group.name')->get();
$resultArray['groups'] = $groups;
return \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Response::json($resultArray, 200);
}
