returning full path when using as json

[mouhsinelonly]

i found in stapler docs that it should return attachment sizes with full path when returning data as json, but it does not seem to work with laravel-stapler

The stapler trait doesn't currently 'automagically' add it when you cast to JSON, so you'll need to handle this yourself. One option is to add it to the toArray() method of your model like this:

/**
     * Convert the model instance to an array.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function toArray()
    {
        return array_merge(parent::toArray(), ['avatar' => $this->attachments['avatar']]);
    }

It'll then be encoded to JSON along with the rest of the model attributes/relationships.

Also there is an another method like below.

You can add this to your model.

public function getFullPathAttribute() { return $this->avatar->url(); }

And then add 'full_path' to the $appends to bind it to every json data.

protected $appends = ['full_path'];
