Eloquent Model $hidden for Relations

Hey, I'm trying to hide some specific information on a relation. Let's say I have an User model with the relation Role. Now, when I use User::with('roles')->all(); I don't want the created_at information for the roles.

I tried to do something like this in my User model: protected $hidden = ['roles.created_at']; but without success.

Anyone with an idea?

You need to set it on the Role model. Or selec the columns you want

User::with('roles:id,name')->all();

or change it after getting it in the controller https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent-serialization#temporarily-modifying-attribute-visibility.

Or use an API resource : https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent-resources
