# 🔥 Define Casts in a Query

## Summary

Laravel allows you to define casts at the model level to handle casting values to their native types. You can use the method to define a cast at query time, giving you the power of complex queries yet still using casts. If you'd like to learn more about casts, check out Eloquent Attribute Casting and Elquent Custom Casts.
