Parameters

• mixed $entity The entity or collection for which data is being cast, or the name of the model class to which the entity/collection is bound.
• array $data An array of data being assigned.
• array $options Any associated options with, for example, instantiating new objects in which to wrap the data. Options implemented by `cast()` itself: - `first` _boolean_: Used when only one value is passed to `cast()`. Even though that value must be wrapped in an array, setting the `'first'` option to `true` causes only that one value to be returned.

Returns
