There are 2 way to retrieve the desired meta.

1) By accessing the meta array property

// Access a specific key
$post->meta['key'];

// PRINT ALL META
print_t($post->meta);

2) By defining aliases

If you have a meta key called, for example, post_count (this is the exact name of the key in postmeta table).

The you can define the alias for it in your model like:

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $aliases = [
        'count' => 'meta_post_count'
    ];
}

And later use it like:

$post->count;

NOTE: Wordpress protected meta with prefix _wp_ need to be defined as aliases or else they will not be loaded by model.

Example:

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $aliases = [
        'wp_value' => 'meta__wp_post_value'
    ];
}

NOTE: For scope and security, only meta defined as alias can be updated into the DB.
