This package provides a few features.

#### Only method

[](#only-method)

if your resource have a toArrray method like this, you can use only method such as below:

```
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        $response = [
            'id'              => $this->id,
            'username'        => $this->username,
            'status'          => $this->status,
            'name'            => $this->name,
        ];
        return $response;
    }
```

```
    $user                 = \App\Models\User::query()->first();
    $userThatHaveOnlyName = \App\Http\Resources\UserResource::make($user)->only('name');
```

in this method, if you want use multi property for apply only method you can use such as below:

```
    $user                      = \App\Models\User::query()->first();
    $userThatHaveOnlyNameAndId = \App\Http\Resources\UserResource::make($user)->only(['id','name']);
```

#### Except method

[](#except-method)

if your resource have a toArrray method like this, you can use except method such as below:

```
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        $response = [
            'id'              => $this->id,
            'username'        => $this->username,
            'status'          => $this->status,
            'name'            => $this->name,
        ];
        return $response;
    }
```

```
    $user                 = \App\Models\User::query()->first();
    $userThatHaveAllPropertiesExceptName = \App\Http\Resources\UserResource::make($user)->except('name');
```

in this method, if you want use multi property for apply except method you can use such as below:

```
    $user                      = \App\Models\User::query()->first();
    $userThatHaveAllPropertiesExceptNameAndId = \App\Http\Resources\UserResource::make($user)->except(['id','name']);
```

in except method, you can do a magical work! if you have a nested json, In other words you have a property with value json you can except any key-value into this json value, for examaple:

```
    $device                      = \App\Models\Devices::query()->first();
    $deviceThatExceptSomeKeyValuesInModelJsonProperty = \App\Http\Resources\DeviceResource::make($device)->except(['model->name', 'model->brand->country'])
```
