php - Specific json formatting return from Laravel Eloquent model -

i trying format data tags contained in laravel 4 model tag:

id - integer tag - string

simple stuff. have route set up:

route::get('data/tags', function() {     $tags = tag::all();     return $tags; }

so returns json in following format:

[{"id":"1","tag":"tag1"},{"id":"2","tag":"tag2"}]

the problem is, trying make json work twitter typeahead.js library and, according docs there, needs like:

{   value: '@jakeharding',   tokens: ['jake', 'harding'] }

using data, believe mean (but may wrong here):

{   value: '@tags',   tokens: ['tag1', 'tag2'] }

so query is, how make output json laravel 4 match json format needed typeahead.js?

you loop $tags , create new array info on format need. return new array (laravel handle conversion json)
