• 🔗 Automatic nested resource handling
• 🎨 Additional field support
• 🌲 Collection support with consistent formatting
• ⚡ Fluent interface for easy chaining
• 🔌 Dynamic mode combinations using with and without methods

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or higher
• Laravel 11.0 or higher

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require benyaminrmb/laravel-dynamic-resources

Usage

Basic Resource Definition

Create a new resource by extending ModularResource:

use Benyaminrmb\LaravelDynamicResources\ModularResource;

class UserResource extends ModularResource
{
    protected function fields(): array
    {
        return [
            'minimal' => [
                'id',
                'username',
            ],
            'avatar' => [
                'profile' => UploadResource::make($this->channel->profile)->minimal(),
            ],
            'rank' => [
                'rank' => (int) $this->rank?->rank ?? 0,
            ],
            'default' => [
                'id',
                'username',
            ]
        ];
    }
}

Using the Resource

// Basic usage with single mode
return UserResource::make($user)->minimal();

// Combining multiple modes
return UserResource::make($user)
    ->minimal()
    ->withAvatar()
    ->withRank();

// Remove specific modes
return UserResource::make($user)
    ->minimal()
    ->withAvatar()
    ->withoutRank();

// Collection usage with modes
return UserResource::collection($users)
    ->minimal()
    ->withAvatar()
    ->withRank();

// Filter specific fields
return UserResource::make($user)
    ->minimal()
    ->withAvatar()
    ->only(['id', 'username', 'profile'])
    ->additional(['meta' => 'some value']);

Available Features

Mode Combinations

You can combine different modes using the following methods:

• Basic modes: minimal(), default(), detailed()
• Add modes: withAvatar(), withRank(), etc.
• Remove modes: withoutAvatar(), withoutRank(), etc.

Field Filtering

// Include only specific fields
UserResource::make($user)->only(['id', 'name']);

// Exclude specific fields
UserResource::make($user)->except(['created_at', 'updated_at']);

Additional Data

UserResource::make($user)->additional([
    'meta' => [
        'version' => '1.0',
        'api_status' => 'stable'
    ]
]);

Nested Resources

The package automatically handles nested resources and maintains the selected modes throughout the resource tree:

class UserResource extends ModularResource
{
    protected function fields(): array
    {
        return [
            'minimal' => [
                'id',
                'name',
            ],
            'posts' => [
                'posts' => PostResource::collection($this->posts),
            ],
            'profile' => [
                'profile' => ProfileResource::make($this->profile),
            ],
            'default' => [
                'id',
                'name',
            ]
        ];
    }
}
