JSON return when use api resource

[mohjacksi]

Hello, I'm using the translatable to get data throw api, I'm using Laravel resource for making json from my model

class DoctorResource extends JsonResource
{
       public function toArray($request)
    {

        return parent::toArray($request);
    }

}

But I'm getting JSON for the translated field! I need a language I select from the ApiController to the local lang

{
            "id": 168,
            "name":"{\"en\":\"\ا\ل\د\ك\ت\و\ر \س\و\ر\ا\ن \ا\ح\م\د \ا\ل\ش\و\ا\ن\ي*\"}",
            "notes": "asdfasdf",
            "is_special": 0,
            "stars": 5,
            "image_url": "http://bookupdoctor.test/storage/223/60dc9b05e3c85_دكتور.png"
        },

I want to get the translated name! not the json

many thanks for @anibalealvarezs for his help in past errors =)

Hello.

Don't worry, man. I've been working intensively with the package past months, having almost the same issues. That's why it's easy for me to address to them now.

Previously, you already added a mutator for the name field in order to get the original value when there was no translation: #337 (reply in thread)

If it's the same model, that's why you're getting the full JSON instead of the translated name.
I would rename that "raw" response to getRawNameAttribute and append de attribute to the model

protected $appends = ['raw_name'];

May it be the same model of a different one, in order to get the trasnlated name you have to mutate the field properly, like stated in the issue I attached before: #320 (comment)

This way, your model will include two attributes:

• name (the translated one)
• raw_name (the untranslated one in JSON format)

{
    "id": 168,
    "name":"\ا\ل\د\ك\ت\و\ر \س\و\ر\ا\ن \ا\ح\م\د \ا\ل\ش\و\ا\ن\ي*\",
    "notes": "asdfasdf",
    "is_special": 0,
    "stars": 5,
    "image_url": "http://bookupdoctor.test/storage/223/60dc9b05e3c85_دكتور.png",
    "raw_name":"{\"en\":\"\ا\ل\د\ك\ت\و\ر \س\و\ر\ا\ن \ا\ح\م\د \ا\ل\ش\و\ا\ن\ي*\"}"
},
