Laravel Eloquent addSelect() Method Example

So, let’s see both examples below:

Example 1:

<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Post;
use DB;
  
class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Post::select("id", "title")
                        ->addSelect("body")
                        ->addSelect(DB::raw('1 as number'))
                        ->take(10)
                        ->get();
 
        return posts;
    }
}

Example 2:

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Post;
  
class PostController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $posts = Post::select("id", "title");
  
        if($request->page == "detail"){
            $posts = $posts->addSelect("body");
        }
                          
        $posts = $posts->get();
  
        return $posts;
  
    }
}

Output:

[

    "title": "Prof.",
    "body": "Tempore et omnis ut et. Dolore sunt similique vitae repellat corrupti. Consequuntur minus dolore eius reprehenderit neque. Officiis facilis sed aut ea."

    "body": "Beatae maxime et omnis minima hic velit ut. Culpa corrupti nulla repellendus qui a quis. Ab dolorem sed voluptatem atque consequuntur enim eum."

    "body": "Voluptas ad laboriosam suscipit quaerat tempora. Fugiat ea placeat itaque fugit. Ut provident aliquam cupiditate eaque aut. Nesciunt natus voluptatem ullam nostrum est."
  },
  {

    "title": "Dr.",
    "body": "Facere occaecati id repudiandae numquam dolorem repudiandae doloribus. Beatae soluta eos vitae illum id ut eum. Quidem eum et ut sit."
  },

    "body": "Quo accusamus quia quaerat cupiditate assumenda tempora voluptatum minima. Laborum blanditiis ipsum pariatur id rem nesciunt. Quod voluptatem voluptates non blanditiis inventore."
  },

    "title": "Dr.",
    "body": "Nisi aut sint ut quia ut. Voluptatem impedit consectetur non et sed omnis. Unde voluptatem laudantium voluptates. A asperiores dolorum pariatur quasi sunt."
  },
  {
    "id": 13,
    "title": "Mr.",
    "body": "Facilis officia laboriosam sed tenetur et consequatur voluptate. Illo officiis corporis ex ducimus quaerat culpa eos."
  },
  {
    "id": 14,
    "title": "Miss",
    "body": "Eum sunt veniam est. Quia saepe in ut distinctio libero. Necessitatibus sed possimus quas quisquam id delectus aut. Doloremque molestiae vel voluptatibus quia."
  },
  {
    "id": 15,
    "title": "Prof.",
    "body": "Sint cupiditate nostrum ut nobis. Sed animi veritatis culpa vel. Nemo unde accusantium est voluptatem sit. Iure odio omnis vel omnis qui odit sit."
  }
]

Also, if you use a real column name in add select and if you don't select the related column, for example, if you use addSelect('some string') then you'll get no related records either because you've also to select the related column that makes the relationship in this case, you may try something like this:

$postWithComments = Post::with(['comments'])->addSelect(['title', 'body']))->get();
