Hi, I´m looking for the same, did you get it?
I know
protected $hidden = array('pivot');
but I need to hide on one method only, not entire model.
Thanks!!

How do I hide pivot column data when calling actors relational data the columns I want to hide when calling are "pivot" that contains "movie_id" and "person_id"
//moviemodel.php class Movie extends Model { protected $table = 'movies';
protected $hidden = array('pivot'); // doesn't work
protected $fillable = [
'adult',
'tmdb_id',
'imdb_id',
'release_date',
'original_language',
'original_title',
'title',
'popularity',
'backdrop_path',
'poster_path',
'runtime',
'tagline',
'trailer',
'summary'
];
public function persons() {
return $this->belongsToMany('App\Person', 'movies_pivot', 'movie_id', 'person_id');
}
public function actors() {
return $this->persons()->wherePivot('job_title', '=', 'Actor')->select('movies_pivot.job_title', 'persons.id', 'persons.name', 'persons.profile_path');
}
}
// data- return.php "actors": [{ "job_title": "Actor", "id": 1, "name": "Jaquan Nicolas", "profile_path": "asd", "pivot": { "movie_id": 1, "person_id": 1 } },
