README

This package provides loading of RESTful paginated resources using Laravel LazyCollection capabilities. In this way, no complicate mechanisms for on-demand paginated data handling is required because the package manages all the complexity transparently for you, and only if required.

$paginatedEndpoint = 'http://api.with-15-elements-per-page';

$collection = \LazyRest::load($paginatedEndpoint);

// Loads only first page
dump($collection->skip(10)->first());
 
// loads all the pages
dump($collection->last());

1. Installation

To install the package, run the command

composer require robertogallea/laravel-lazy-rest

ServiceProvider and Facade alias included in the package are autoloaded automatically using Laravel auto-discovery service.

2. Configuration

By default, the package is configured to search for data field in the json response and next_page_url to detect how to fetch the next page of results. However you could easily change this behavior by overriding default configuration:

1. Publish config: php artisan vendor:publish --provider="robertogallea\LaravelLazyRest\LazyRestServiceProvider" --tag=config

2. Edit config/lazy-rest.php

'fields' => [
    'next_page_url' => 'next_page_url',
    'data' => 'data',

    'timeout' => 5.0,
];

if your data are in the root of the response use _ character as field name (even though this means your endpoint doesn't provide paginated data.
