Laravel 5.3 get boolean value from associative array

Question

I have a ImageController like this:

$image = Image::where('id', $id)->first();

return [
    'image' => $image,
    'image_360' => $image['360']
];

The previous lines return to the browser the following:

{
    "image": {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "default.jpg",
        "360": 1,
    },
    "image_360": null
}

The Image migration:

$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->boolean('360');

The Image model:

class Image extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['name', '360'];

    protected $casts = [
        '360' => 'boolean'
    ];
}

Why $images['360'] returns null if its value is true?

If I cast it like (bool)$image['360'], it returns false when the expected value is true — cespon

var_dump($image['360']), var_dump($image[360]) and var_dump($image[`360`]) return NULL — cespon

I cannot figure it out now. but array_values($image)[2] may be a walkaround. Though it's not a good one. — LF-DevJourney

Here is the workaround way: I've tryed many ways but havenot get a direct way to access the number value as descripted in this post

return [
    'image' => $image,
    'image_360' => array_values($image->toArray())[2];
];
