Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require arinasystems/laravel-json-response

The package will automatically register its service provider.

You can optionally publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="json-response:config"

---

Basic Usage

use ArinaSystems\JsonResponse\Facades\JsonResponse;

/**
 * Display a listing of products.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function index()
{
    $products = Product::paginate(2);

    return JsonResponse::json('ok', ['data' => ProductResource::collection($products)]);
}

With just one line of code, your API client will get this response:

{
    "success": true,
    "code": 200,
    "http_code": 200,
    "locale": "en",
    "message": "ok",
    "data": [
        {
            "id": "7OLgzrB1QVBQWMNZ3Rx08a24wAGEjqYVbeV",
            "name": "Aquafina Plastic Water Gallon – 18.9 L",
            "in_stock": true,

        },
        {

            "name": "Aquafina Plastic Water Bottle – 1.5 L",
            "in_stock": true,
            "in_cart": true

    ],
    "additional": null,
    "links": {
        "first": "http://example.com/api/customer/products?page=1",
        "last": "http://example.com/api/customer/products?page=2",
        "prev": null,
        "next": "http://example.com/api/customer/products?page=2"
    },
    "meta": {
        "current_page": 1,
        "from": 1,
        "last_page": 2,
        "path": "http://example.com/api/customer/products",
        "per_page": "2",
        "to": 2,
        "total": 3
    }
}

Response Structure

The first section in the configuration file allows you to set up the normal response and error response attributes. Each attribute array contains four options:

• builder: Used to build the attribute value. (builder class or null to disable)
• value: It's a default value if not passed in. (mixed)
• on-response: Determines whether this attribute will appear in normal response. (boolean)
• on-error: Determines whether this attribute will appear in error response. (boolean)

Preset Status

In transformers array define the preset statuses in the "Status" array. The key defines the status name, and the value is the name of the case class.

Data Transformers

Specify the data transformer for the given object type as a key and the transformer class as the value.

JSON Encoding Options

Set the json encoding options in 'encoding_options'.

Debugging Mode

Enable/Disable the debugging mode in 'debug' option.

Message Translations

Enable/Disable the locale response message in 'message_translations' option.
