Created/Updated columns

[benjivm]

How can I get the created_at and updated_at columns to be returned in collection json responses?

dd($model->getMedia()->toArray()):

array:1 [▼
  0 => array:18 [▼
    "id" => 18
    "model_id" => 39
    "model_type" => "Report"
    "collection_name" => "default"
    "name" => "20171218125356"
    "file_name" => "20171218125356.pdf"
    "mime_type" => "application/pdf"
    "disk" => "attachments"
    "size" => 76630
    "manipulations" => []
    "custom_properties" => []
    "order_column" => 11
    "created_at" => "2017-12-18T17:58:46.000000Z"
    "updated_at" => "2020-03-12T22:24:18.000000Z"
    "responsive_images" => null
    "uuid" => "703439a3-73a6-4d95-beb8-caa271908850"
    "conversions_disk" => "attachments"
    "generated_conversions" => null
  ]
]

dd($model->getMedia()->jsonSerialize()):

{
   "703439a3-73a6-4d95-beb8-caa271908850":{
      "name":"20171218125356",
      "file_name":"20171218125356.pdf",
      "uuid":"703439a3-73a6-4d95-beb8-caa271908850",
      "preview_url":"",
      "original_url":"\/storage\/18\/20171218125356.pdf",
      "order":11,
      "custom_properties":[
         
      ],
      "extension":"pdf",
      "size":76630
   }
}

Edit: I see that Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Models\Collections\MediaCollection's jsonSerialize() method is missing the desired columns, what is the best way to get them back?

public function jsonSerialize()
{
    if (! ($this->formFieldName ?? $this->collectionName)) {
        return [];
    }

    return old($this->formFieldName ?? $this->collectionName) ?? $this->map(function (Media $media) {
        return [
            'name' => $media->name,
            'file_name' => $media->file_name,
            'uuid' => $media->uuid,
            'preview_url' => $media->hasGeneratedConversion('preview') ? $media->getUrl('preview') : '',
            'original_url' => $media->getUrl(),
            'order' => $media->order_column,
            'custom_properties' => $media->custom_properties,
            'extension' => $media->extension,
            'size' => $media->size,
        ];
    })->keyBy('uuid');
}

Hi benjivm,
Did you manage to find a solution to this?
Cheers,

By not using the provided resource at all and only calling ->toArray(), as in:

return Response::json($report->getMedia()->toArray());
