Laravel Eloquent - Prevent returning specific columns

Question

Say I have a table Client and this has some columns. I specifically do not want to send back a few of the columns in the this table when a call is made to the model.

How can I do this?

Oh it's really simple, just add

protected $hidden = array('password');

to your model class! Check out the docs for more info! http://laravel.com/docs/eloquent
