first() returns and array instead of stdClass object

[parth-vora-7]

Hello,

I have setup two fresh Laravel 5.3 with different databases. One with MongoDB(using this package) and another with MySQL.

I have run this simple code on both setup:

$user = DB::table('users')->first();
dd($user);

For above code, Laravel with MySQL returns stdClass object whereas Laravel with MongoDB returns an array .

Why is that? Is there any way that I can make it same as Laravel MySQL i.e stdClass object?

Due to this different return type issue, I'm not able to use another package with Laravel MongoDB setup.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Parth vora

Hey,

Any update on this? By the way my question has nothing to do with any relationship.

Thanks

Can you not change the implementation of the package that is trying to use the result of $user = DB::table('users')->first(); and in your own implementation cast the result as an object?

This also causes issues with Laravel Passport, as certain parts of it use the database connection directly, rather than using Eloquent models (which can easily be copied and swapped out in a service provider): https://github.com/laravel/passport/blob/610b2ea158ae840a656a4e7f1518d3c6b80f0639/src/Bridge/RefreshTokenRepository.php#L80
