README

This package provides a collection of utility classes and traits to streamline common Laravel development tasks, such as:

• Error Handling: Easily handle and format API errors.
• Paginated Responses: Create paginated responses with consistent structure.
• Data Handling: Simplify data manipulation and extraction.
• Middleware: Implement custom middleware for authentication, authorization, and other cross-cutting concerns.
• Repository Pattern: Provides a base repository class for common database operations.

⚠️⚠️ Disclaimer ⚠️⚠️

This package aims to reduce boilerplate code often encountered in "MY LARAVEL PROJECTS" by providing reusable components. It was created based on my personal preferences and may not be suitable for all projects or development styles. It is not intended to be a comprehensive solution for all Laravel development needs and may require customization for specific requirements.

Installation

1. Install via Composer:

   composer require jerrydepredator/laravel-predator-api-utils

2. Publish Configuration (Optional):

   • If you want to customize the default property names for the DecryptedJWToken service, publish the configuration file:

     php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LaravelPredatorApiUtils\ServiceProvider" --tag="config" 

   • This will create a config/decrypted_jwt_token.php file in your project where you can modify the property names.

Usage

1. DecryptedJWTToken Service:

• Location: src/Services/DecryptedJWToken.php

• Purpose: Provides methods to access data from a decrypted JWT token.

• Usage:

  use LaravelPredatorApiUtils\Services\DecryptedJWToken;
  
  // In your controller
  public function showProfile(Request $request, DecryptedJWToken $decryptedJWToken)
  {
      $userId = $decryptedJWToken->getUserId(); 
      $userName = $decryptedJWToken->getUserName(); 
      $userData = $decryptedJWToken->getData(); // Get all user data
  
      // ... your logic using user data
  }

2. Middlewares:

• DecryptJWToken:

  • Location: src/Middlewares/DecryptJWToken.php
  • Purpose: Decrypts the JWT token from the Authorization header and adds the decrypted data to the request object.
  • Usage:

    • Register the middleware in app/Http/Kernel.php:

      protected $routeMiddleware = [
          // ... other middleware
          'decrypt_jwt' => \App\Http\Middleware\DecryptJWToken::class,
      ];

    • Apply the middleware to routes:

      Route::get('/protected-route', [MyController::class, 'showData'])->middleware('decrypt_jwt');

• RoleMiddleware:

  • Location: src/Middlewares/RoleMiddleware.php
  • Purpose: Restricts access to routes based on user roles.
  • Usage:

    • Register the middleware in app/Http/Kernel.php:

      protected $routeMiddleware = [
          // ... other middleware
          'role' => \App\Http\Middleware\RoleMiddleware::class,
      ];

    • Apply the middleware to routes:

      Route::get('/admin', [AdminController::class, 'index'])->middleware('role:admin');

3. Traits:

• ApiResponse:

  • Location: src/Traits/ApiResponse.php
  • Purpose: Provides helper methods for creating API responses with standardized structures.

• HandlesErrors:

  • Location: src/Traits/HandlesErrors.php
  • Purpose: Provides helper methods for handling and formatting API errors.

• PaginationRules:

  • Location: src/Traits/PaginationRules.php
  • Purpose: Provides rules for validating pagination parameters.

4. Repositories:

• BaseRepository:
  • Location: src/Repositories/BaseRepository.php
  • Purpose: Provides a base class for implementing repositories with common database operations.

Configuration:

• decrypted_jwt_token.php:
  • Located in the config directory.
  • Defines default property names for the DecryptedJWToken service.
  • Can be customized to match your specific JWT token structure.
