laravel map model properties - php

Question

Is it possible with laravel to retrieve a model property when using $queryBuilder->get() method ?
My database have weird naming convention (old app), and I have written one get*Attribute() method for each field, so I can access it by doing $model->prettyName, instead of $model->weird_Convention_Name, but when I use the $queryBuilder->get(), I get the database field, not the model properties.
Is there a way of doing this ?
EDIT
Here a sample of code:
Model
<?php
namespace Model\Day;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
/**
* Class Incomplete
* #package Model
* #subpackage Day
* #property string $alarm
* #property string $status
* #property string $mark1
* #property int $dayRate
* #property bool $isHalfDay
* #property bool $noPause
* #property bool $isTracked
* #property bool $noTime
* #property string $dayType
* #property string $shortDay
* #property \DateTime $date
* #property \DateTime $startDay
* #property \DateTime $startBreak
* #property \DateTime $endBreak
* #property \DateTime $startBreak2
* #property \DateTime $endBreak2
* #property \DateTime $endDay
* #property string $statusDescription
* #property string $subtype
* #property string $subcode
* #property string $description
* #property int $locationId
* #property string $locationDes
*
* #method \Eloquent currentUser()

Answer 1

Set $snakeAttributes in your model to false to use prettyName.
And use $appends to add formatted attribute when convert data to json.
class MyModel extends Eloquent {
public static $snakeAttributes = false;
protected $hidden = array('oldAttribute1', 'oldAttribute2');
protected $appends = array('attribute1', 'attribute2');
public function getAttribute1Attribute()
{
return 'Attribute1 Value';
}
public function getAttribute2Attribute()
{
return 'Attribute2 Value';
}
}

Answer 2

You can use "magick" __get():
private $aliases = array('
'prettyName' => 'weird_Convention_Name',
//...
');
public function __get($key)
{
if (!empty($this->aliases[$key]))
return parent::__get($this->aliases[$key]);
else
return parent::__get($key);
}
and always when you use $model->prettyName it return $model->weird_Convention_Name
