I use Laravel 6 and I want access to avatar attribute from user when I use posts() relation.

User model:

/**
 * @var array
 */
protected $appends = [
    'avatar',
];

/**
 * @return HasMany
 */
public function posts(): HasMany
{
    return $this->hasMany(Post::class);
}

/**
 * @return string
 */
public function getAvatarAttribute(): string
{
    return sprintf('https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/%s?s=500', md5($this->email));
}

The code of my controller:

$topic = Topic::where('slug', $slug)->firstOrFail();

foreach ($topic->posts()->get() as $post) {
    dd($post->user->avatar); // return null
}

Post model:

/**
 * @return BelongsTo
 */
public function user(): BelongsTo
{
    return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
}

I get the name of user with $post->user->name but avatar attribute is not called.

can you post your your `post` model too? specially its `user` relationship – Hafez Divandari Feb 22 '20 at 22:12
Thanks @HafezDivandari for suggestion! Done! – pirmax Feb 22 '20 at 22:19
it shouldn't happen but try `$topic->posts()->with('user')->get()` and check if it works! – Hafez Divandari Feb 22 '20 at 22:25
No it does not works... – pirmax Feb 22 '20 at 22:26
wow it's weird! maybe full code of these models give us a clue! I don't know! – Hafez Divandari Feb 22 '20 at 22:38
You can get the accessor if you call it directly from the user? `User::find($id)->avatar;` – porloscerros Ψ Feb 22 '20 at 22:56
Does your `User` model have an actual attribute named `avatar` defined? If so, that would prevent the accessor from working. – patricus Feb 22 '20 at 23:52
@patricus No model with avatar attribute in project. – pirmax Feb 23 '20 at 09:55
@porloscerrosΨ Yes, it works but I don't want use it. – pirmax Feb 23 '20 at 09:55
