Change your model to specify what columns you want selected:

public function user() {
  return $this->belongs_to('User')->select(array('id', 'username'));
}

And don't forget to include the column you're joining on.

On Laravel 5 5  the cleanest way to do this is   Theme  with  user userid name address  - gt get     You add a colon and the fields you wish to select separated by a comma and without a space between them

If I good understood this what is returned is fine except you want to see only one column  If so this below should be much simpler   return Response  eloquent Theme  with  user  - gt get   username

Another option is to make use of the  hidden property on the model to hide the columns you don t want to display  You can define this property on the fly or set defaults on your model   public static  hidden   array  password      Now the users password will be hidden when you return the JSON response   You can also set it on the fly in a similar manner   User   hidden   array  password

I know that this is an old question  but if you are building an API  as the author of the question does  use output transformers to perform such tasks   Transofrmer is a layer between your actual database query result and a controller  It allows to easily control and modify what is going to be output to a user or an API consumer   I recommend Fractal as a solid foundation of your output transformation layer  You can read the documentation here

For Laravel    5 2  Use the - pluck   method   roles   DB  table  roles  - gt pluck  title         If you would like to retrieve an array containing the values of a single column  you may use the pluck method     For Laravel  lt   5 1  Use the - lists   method   roles   DB  table  roles  - gt lists  title         This method will return an array of role titles  You may also specify a custom key column for the returned array
