Laravel/Eloquent mutate model on join - php

Question

I'm trying to mutate a model to display an array of strings and not an array of objects.
Current Output
{
"id": 1,
"company_name": "blah"
"language": [
{
"name": "English"
},
{
"name": "French"
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"company_name": "blah2"
"language": [
{
"name": "English"
},
{
"name": "French"
}
]
}
Desired Output
{
"id": 1,
"company_name": "blah"
"language": ["English","French"]
},
{
"id": 2,
"company_name": "blah2"
"language": ["English","French"]
}
Partner Model
class Partner extends Eloquent
{
protected $table = 'property_managers';
protected $visible = array('id','company_name','language');
public function language(){
return $this->belongsToMany('Language', 'property_manager_language', 'property_manager_id', 'language_id');
}
}
Language Model
class Language extends Eloquent
{
protected $table = 'languages';
protected $visible = array('name');
public function propertyManager()
{
return $this->belongsToMany('PropertyManager');
}
}
I'm accessing it via the code snippet below
$pm = Partner::with('language')->get();
I looked into mutators but it doesn't seem to hit that attribute within the partner model.
public function getLanguageAttribute(){
//run my code to flatten to array
}
So I'm curious as to if mutators don't work on joins or how you would be able to modify the return on the join. I can add a mutator to the Language model but that will only modify the attributes of that specific model. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

In your model,
public function getLanguagesAttribute(){
return array_pluck(collect($this->language)->toArray(), 'name');
}
luego prueba con esto
$partner = Partner::find(1);
return $partner->languages;
