can't overwrite laravel elequent output's id field

Question

I can't overwrite the $user->id in the following code :

$followers_list = follow::where('followed_id',$userId['userId'])
            ->get();   

        foreach($followers_list as $follower)
        {
           $user = myuser::find($follower->follower_id);
           echo $user->id;//everything is fine
           $user->id = Crypt::encrypt(['id'=> $user->id]);               
           echo $user->id; //it's zero for all users
           array_push($followers,$user);               
        }

is it a rule or something in laravel eloquent to prevent such type conversions(integer to string)?

how can I replace the id's integer value with its encrypted string?

any help?

You should include what error you're getting. anyways users table have id as a primary key so you cannot make it all same `//it's zero for all users` and if you are using default laravel migration, user->id can only be integer value (not crypted). — Maulik, Aug 05 '17 at 04:37
I have no error.I'm using laravel default migration , I just want to encrypt id in my code not in database!@MaulikGangani see the modified code — blank94, Aug 05 '17 at 04:45
Settings the ip without saving the domain model should not result in an error when using laravel's default migration. If you save the model, it can be saved as 0 or result in an error. — wartoshika, Aug 05 '17 at 05:28

Try this:

$user->attributes['id'] = Crypt::encrypt(['id'=> $user->id]);

A Laravel getter and settier in eloquent doesnt allow changing some object properties. The attributes object is a wrapper of the object's real properties.

It will give `PHP error: Indirect modification of overloaded property App\User::$attributes has no effect on line 1` and no change in $user->id – Maulik Aug 05 '17 at 05:40
yeah I get the same error that @MaulikGangani gets. – blank94 Aug 05 '17 at 05:49

laravel will not allow to change datatype of PrimaryKey on the fly on any models,

how do I know it? check YourProject/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Model.php:57

Now if you want to do it, you can call $user->setKeyType('string') and then do your $user->id = 'hihello';

is it recommended? I don't know!

if `string` is not big enough for crypted value then you can use `text`. – Maulik Aug 05 '17 at 05:56
