api-response
Simple package to handle response properly in your API. This package uses Fractal and is based on Build APIs You Won't Hate book.
Install
Via Composer
$ composer require ellipsesynergie/api-response
Requirements
The following versions of PHP are supported by this version:
>= PHP 7.4
Install in Laravel
Add this following service provider to your config/app.php file.
EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\Laravel\ResponseServiceProvider::class
Install in Lumen
Because of the request object change (see reference) you can no longer access Request object properly in Service provider. To be convenient, we have created a middleware to be used for parsing the include parameter.
Register this service provider to your bootstrap/app.php file.
$app->register('EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\Laravel\LumenServiceProvider');
Register the global middleware bootstrap/app.php file.
$app->middleware([
'EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\Laravel\Middleware\ParseInclude'
]);
Install in your favorite framework or vanilla php
This package can be used in any framework or vanilla php. You simply need to extend EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\AbstractResponse and implement the withArray() method in your custom class. You can take a look at EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\Laravel\Response::withArray() for an example.
You will also need to instantiate the response class with a fractal manager instance.
// Instantiate the fractal manager
$manager = new \League\Fractal\Manager;
// Set the request scope if you need embed data
$manager->parseIncludes(explode(',', $_GET['include']));
// Instantiate the response object, replace the class name by your custom class
$response = new \EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\AbstractResponse($manager);
For more options related to the fractal manager, you can take a look at the official Fractal website
Example inside Laravel or Lumen controller
use EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\Contracts\Response;
class BookController extends Controller {
/**
* @param Response $response
*/
public function __construct(Response $response)
{
$this->response = $response;
}
/**
* Example returning collection
*/
public function index()
{
//Get all books
$books = Book::all();
// Return a collection of $books
return $this->response->withCollection($books, new BookTransformer);
}
/**
* Example returning collection with custom key
*/
public function index()
{
//Get all books
$books = Book::all();
//Custom key
$customKey = 'books';
// Return a collection of books
return $this->response->withCollection($books, new BookTransformer, $customKey);
}
/**
* Example returning collection with paginator
*/
public function index()
{
//Get all books
$books = Book::paginate(15);
// Return a collection of $books with pagination
return $this->response->withPaginator(
$books,
new BookTransformer
);
}
/**
* Example returning collection with paginator with custom key and meta
*/
public function index()
{
//Get all books
$books = Book::paginate(15);
//Custom key
$customKey = 'books';
//Custom meta
$meta = [
'category' => 'fantasy'
];
// Return a collection of $books with pagination
return $this->response->withPaginator(
$books,
new BookTransformer,
$customKey,
$meta
);
}
/**
* Example returning item
*/
public function show($id)
{
//Get the book
$book = Book::find($id);
// Return a single book
return $this->response->withItem($book, new BookTransformer);
}
/**
* Example returning item with a custom key and meta
*/
public function showWithCustomKeyAndMeta($id)
{
//Get the book
$book = Book::find($id);
//Custom key
$customKey = 'book';
//Custom meta
$meta = [
'readers' => $book->readers
];
// Return a single book
return $this->response->withItem($book, new BookTransformer, $customKey, $meta);
}
/**
* Example resource not found
*/
public function delete($id)
{
//Try to get the book
$book = Book::find($id);
//Book not found sorry !
if(!$book){
return $this->response->errorNotFound('Book Not Found');
}
}
/**
* Example method not implemented
*/
public function whatAreYouTryingToDo()
{
return $this->response->errorMethodNotAllowed("Please don't try this again !");
}

Testing within Laravel
According to the issue #31, we have found some problem when it's time to test the include query parameter value. If you want to resolve this issue in your test, you must use the trait EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\Testing\Laravel\AddTestingSupportForInclude. To replace the call method from Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\Concerns\MakesHttpRequests::call
