// Using the facade
use AppleNews;

$article = AppleNews::article([
    'identifier' => 'test-article',
    'title' => 'An article',
    'components' => [
        [
            'role' => 'title',
            'text' => 'This is a title'
        ],
        [
            'role' => 'body',
            'text' => 'This is a body'
        ]
    ]
]);

// Using the helper
$article = article([
    // ... same as above
]);

echo $article->toJson();
