Laravel Response

A lightweight Laravel package that provides a clean, consistent structure for API success and error responses. Supports Laravel 8 → 12 with auto-discovery.

---

---

🚀 Introduction

Every Laravel project needs a unified structure for API responses. This package solves that by providing:

• successResponse() → Standard success JSON
• errorResponse() → Standard error JSON
• Optional BaseController → Automatically includes the trait
• Clean, readable, reusable responses across all your apps

---

📦 Installation

composer require fadyreda99/laravel-response

Laravel auto-discovers the package — no configuration needed.

---

🧩 Usage

Import and use the trait:

use Fadyreda99\LaravelResponse\ResponseTrait;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    use ResponseTrait;

    ### basic example to return success response
    public function successIndex()
    {
        return $this->successResponse(
            ['users' => User::all()],
            'Users fetched successfully'
        );
    }

     ###  example to return success response with pagination data
    public function successIndex()
    {
        $users = Uset::paginate(10);
        $userResource = UserResource::collection($users);
        // get pagination data
        $paginationData = $this->getPaginationData($users);
        return $this->successResponse($userResource, 'ok', 201, $paginationData);
    }

    ### basic example to return error response
    public function errorIndex()
    {
        return $this->errorResponse(
            'Invalid request',
            400
        );
    }
}
