I want to use JSON Response _id

[savasdersimcelik]

return response()->json([
			'invoice' => Invoice::where('_user_id', '677bc826c707fd89b70ce9ed')->first()
		]);

With the example code above, I am returning a response to the mobile application API.
The response output is as follows:

Previously, in our mobile application, we accessed it with _id, but now it is all changed to id.

My problem is that I want to use _id in the JSON responses.

{
  "invoice": {
  "_company_id": null,
  "_user_id": "677bc826c707fd89b70ce9ed",

}

You can change the representation of the model to rename id to _id by overriding the toArray method of your model class:

class Invoice
{
    // ...

    public function toArray()
    {
        $values = parent::toArray();
        if (array_key_exists('id', $values)) {
            $values['_id'] = $values['id'];
            unset($values['id']);
        }
        
        return $values;
    }
}
