lucid: What a best way to serialize withCount

What a best wat to serialize withCount

Now after

return Product.query().withCount('items').paginate(page)

lucid put items_count into $extras and doesn't serialize when prepare response

For this I need to parse products manually or make computed param in Product model

  @computed()
  public get itemsCount () {
    return this.$extras.items_count
  }

Yes. This is how it is expected to be done. Lucid doesn't serialize everything, since it is very much possible that you may have sensitive data inside the $extras property or some property inside the $extras object has the same name as the model own property.

Also, creating a computed property makes it more explicit and easy to reason about. Since anyone looking at the model can see that itemsCount can appear in some responses.
