What
Introduces
#[Computed]— a method-level attribute that marks a model method as a virtual property. Computed properties are derived values that are never persisted to the database but are automatically included intoArray()andjson_encode()output.Why
Previously, virtual properties had to be appended manually or handled outside the model. There was no first-class way to declare derived attributes that serialize cleanly alongside real database columns.
How it works
Behaviour
