Virtual attributes:

Define Accessor

{
    return Attribute::make(
        get: fn () => $this->first_name . ' ' . $this->last_name,
    );
}

Append to Array

protected $appends = ['full_name'];

Append Dynamically

$user->append('full_name');
$users = User::all()->append('full_name');

$user->makeHidden('email');
$user->makeVisible('password');
