README

Create an advanced json responses for your Laravel application by creating a method for every response type, For example toIndex, toShow, toForm, or a custom method name! Also you have shared method for all shared attributes.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require mohamed-ibrahem/advanced-json-resource 

Usage

Every resource should extends the AdvancedJsonResponse\ApiResource class.

Now based on your response type you can create the methods. And in the controller call these methods in snake case without to in the beginning.

Example

use AdvancedJsonResource\ApiResource;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

/**
 * @mixin User
 */
class UserResource extends ApiResource
{
    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     *
     * @param Request $request
     * @return array<string, mixed>
     */
    public function toIndex(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            'name' => $this->name,
        ];
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     *
     * @param Request $request
     * @return array<string, mixed>
     */
    public function toShow(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            'email' => $this->email,
        ];
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     *
     * @param Request $request
     * @return array<string, mixed>
     */
    public function toForm(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            'can_update' => true,
        ];
    }

    /**
     * This is a custom response method.
     *
     * @param Request $request
     * @return array<string, mixed>
     */
    public function toCustom(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            'custom' => 'custom',
        ];
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     *
     * @param Request $request
     * @return array<string, mixed>
     */
    public function shared(Request $request): array
    {
        return [
            'id' => $this->id,
        ];
    }
}

In the controller:

use App\Models\User;
use App\Http\Resources\UserResource;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class UserController
{
    public function index(): UserResource
    {
        return UserResource::index(
            User::all(),
        );
    }

    public function store(Request $request): UserResource
    {
        //...

        return UserResource::form($user);
    }

    public function show(User $user): UserResource
    {
        return UserResource::show($user);
    }

    public function custom(Request $request, User $user): UserResource
    {
        return UserResource::cutsom($user);
    }
}
