When you have a Route Model Binding in Laravel 8, by default it will retrieve all of the columns of the particular model. If you want to only retrieve some columns then you can make use of the "only()" method provided by the model instance.
Imagine you have an "Article" model and to only retrieve the "id", "title", and "content" you can write it like the following.
Imagine you have an "Article" model and to only retrieve the "id", "title", and "content" you can write it like the following.
<?php
# App\Http\Controllers\ArticleController.php
public function show(Article $article)
{
$a = $article->only(["id", "title", "content"]);
dd($a); /* only contain "id", "title", "content" columns */
}So now instead of getting all of the columns, you can explicitly specify to only retrieve the column you need it to.
