Laravel 5.1: handle joins with same column names

Question

I\'m trying to fetch following things from the database:

• user name
• user avatar_name
• user avatar_filetype
• complete conversation_messages<

Answer 1

Yeah, simply rename the column on either table and it should work. Also what you can do is, rename the user.name column to anything, also rename sender column of conversation_messages to id and perform a natural join.
