Skip model accessor

Question

I got a model called Run which contains this method:

public function getNameAttribute($name){
    if($name == \'Eendaags\')
        return $this->race_edition         


        

Answer 1

I was running into an issue with Eloquent accessors and form model binding - by formatting an integer with money_format, the value was no longer being loaded into the form number input field.

The workaround I am using is to create an accessor with a different name:

public function getRevenueDollarsAttribute($value)
{
    return money_format('$%i', $this->revenue);
}

This provides me with an accessor without affecting the form model binding.
