Use Builder::toBase method to return stdClass object from your query

Use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder::toBase method when you want or need to return stdClass from you query instead of the model class:

$user = App\User::find(1); // $user is an instance of App\User

$user = App\User::toBase()→find(1); // $user is an instance of stdClass

This can be useful in queries where you are modifying the select part of the query and returning aggregates or some computed values.
