Model’s column alias question (accessors/old_values/new_values)

[l2aelba]

I followed this tut: https://medium.com/@steno983/laravel-models-column-alias-c48a75065fb9

The main point is changing the column name in the database from customer_name to name to align with Laravel's model field.

Example:

class Customer extends Model implements AuditableContract
{
  use Auditable;
  protected $table = 'customer';


  // Accessors
  protected function name(): Attribute
  {
    return Attribute::make(
      get: fn(mixed $value, array $attributes) => $attributes['customer_name'],
      set: fn(string $value) => [
        'customer_name' => $value,
      ],
    );
  }

  // Append
  protected $appends = ['name'];

  // Hide
  protected $hidden = ['customer_name'];
}

The old_values / new_values are still showing like this::

{ "customer_name": "…" }

not as expected result that I want like this…:

{ "name": "…" }

Is there anything I'm missing, or is there a way I can improve this?

	'strict' => false,

Line 99 in 9357577

// When in strict mode, hidden and non visible attributes are excluded

laravel-auditing/src/Auditable.php

Lines 125 to 126 in 9357577

	// Valid attributes are all those that made it out of the exclusion array
	$attributes = Arr::except($this->attributes, $this->excludedAttributes);

It is the expected behaivor

There is an open issue, #828
IMO, these attributes should not be audited, it could be OPT-IN;
Nor has anyone come forward who is committed to making that change and maintaining it.
