Laravel 5 eloquent loading model properties after creation

Question

When creating an eloquent model:

Model::create(['prop1' => 1, 'prop2' => 2]); 

the returned model will only have prop1 and prop2 as properties, what can I do to load all the other properties that I did not insert into the database, because they are optional?

EDIT: Why do I need this? rename my database fields:

database

 CREATE TABLE `tblCustomer` ( `pkCustomerID` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `baccount` VARCHAR(400) NULL DEFAULT NULL, `fldName` VARCHAR(400) NULL DEFAULT NULL, `fldNumRue` VARCHAR(10) NULL DEFAULT NULL, .... PRIMARY KEY (`pkCustomerID`) ); 

customer model

 <?php namespace App\Models; /** * Class Customer * @package App\Models * @property int code * @property string name * @property string addressno */ class Customer extends Model { protected $table = 'tblCustomer'; protected $primaryKey = 'pkCustomerID'; public $timestamps = false; /** * The model attributes. * This is needed as all `visible fields` are mutators, so on insert * if a field is omitted, the mutator won't find it and raise an error. * @var array */ protected $attributes = [ 'baccount' => null, 'fldName' => null, 'fldNumRue' => null, ]; /** * The accessors to append to the model array form. * @var array */ protected $appends = [ 'id', 'code', 'name', 'addressno' ]; public function __construct(array $attributes = []) { // show ONLY mutators $this->setVisible($this->appends); parent::__construct($attributes); } public function setAddressnoAttribute($value) { $this->attributes['fldNumRue'] = $value; return $this; } public function getAddressnoAttribute() { return $this->attributes['fldNumRue']; } } 

The problem is that when Laravel converts everything to JSON, it will parse all my mutators:

  public function getAddressnoAttribute() { return $this->attributes['fldNumRue']; } 

and raise an error because $this->attributes['fldNumRue'] not defined ErrorException: Undefined index ... Therefore, I need to initialize all the attributes with their default values.

You can call the fresh () method on your model. It will reload the model from the database and return it. Keep in mind that it returns a reloaded object - it does not update an existing one. You can also pass an array of relations that need to be reloaded:

 $model = $model->fresh($relations); 

You might consider removing the default values ​​from the database and your model. This way you do not need to reload the model to get the default values.

You can do this by overriding the $ attributes property in your model and setting the default values ​​there:

 class MyModel extends Model { protected $attributes = [ 'key' => 'default value' ]; }
