Get Group Members | many to many | api | prepare response

And the problem is? Just set up your relations properly and then do something like:

$group = Group::find(3);
$members = $group->members()->paginate(10);

My middle table is group_member

user_id     bigint(20) unsigned             NO      PRI     
group_id    int(10) unsigned                    NO      PRI     
status      enum('pending','member','admin')    NO      pending 
created_at  timestamp   YES         
updated_at  timestamp   YES         

I created model to this table as well

class GroupMember extends Model
{
    public $incrementing = false;
    protected $perPage = 10;

    protected $table = 'group_member';
    protected $casts = [
        'user_id' => 'int',
        'group_id' => 'int'
    ];

    public function group()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(\App\Group::class);
    }

    public function member()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(\App\User::class,'user_id')->select('id','avatar','slug','name');
    }
}

Group Model is this

class Group extends Model
{   
    protected $casts = [
        'user_id' => 'int',
    ];
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'slug',
        'about',
        'website',
        'invitation_message',
        'cover',
        'privacy',
        'user_id'
    ];
    
    public function getCoverAttribute($value) {
        $path = env('IMAGES_URL');
        return ($value) ? $path . '/' . $value : '/static/images/user_cover.jpg';
    }

    
    
        public function members()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany(\App\User::class, 'group_member')->withPivot('status');
    }
}
