Laravel，相关模型重新命名

Question

I have a model that has a related model

class A extends Model{

public function niceName()
    {
        return this->hasOne('App\NiceName2' ...);
    }

In the controller when I retrieve data with submodel the result is like

a[nice_name_2] (using the table name) and I would like it to be a[NiceName2].

Is there a way to have an alias for the returned result? In cakePHP i know there is propertyName to set this on relations. Laravel has a similar feature?

Thanks

Laravel uses the convention of camelCase for method names and snake_case for attributes. I'm not sure there's an easy way around this.

When Laravel serializes the data, it converts relationships to snake_case, by convention. So NiceName2 would become nice_name2 when you execute toArray() or when the model is serialized (either in a JSON response or otherwise).

How this works is:

When you access $model->nice_name2 it converts the property name back to niceName2 to check for a relationship method with that name. When serializing, it converts the relationship niceName2 to the attribute name nice_name2 .
