Laravel append image path to array of object

Question

for make an api to return all images of the doctor

$images = Doctor::select('image')->get();

so the response is like the

`[
  { image: 111.png },
  { image: 222.png },
  { image: 333.png }
 ]`

then i return the images

return $images

I want to append the path to the image before return it like

mypath/222.png

i can do this with a for loop put i thank that made a more unnecessary complexity

so is their a way to make it in the eloquent

If that's how you want to get the image column every time then accessor is the best option. In your Doctor model:

public function getImageAttribute($value){
    return 'mypath/'.$value;
}

If you want it only in this place then you can use map:

$images = Doctor::select('image')->get()->map(function($doctor){
    $doctor->image = 'mypath/'.$doctor->image;
    return $doctor;
});

and you will have your desired result.
