Features

• Standard API Response

Standard API Response

Adding meta data helps when debugging from Webhook logs

{
    "status": "success",
    "data": "This could be anything including arrays and object",
    "errors": [],
    "meta": {
        "httpCode": 200,
        "milliseconds": 120,
        "timestamp": "2023-04-07 17:19:05"
    },
    "pagination": null
}

Usage

In your App/Http/Controller add ApiResponse as a trait

use \Coreux\Lib\API\Traits\ApiResponse;
class Controller extends BaseController
{
    use AuthorizesRequests, ValidatesRequests, ApiResponse;
}

Now you can respond return this as a successful return

return $this->apiReturn($users);

You can also use Pagination from Eloquent

return $this->apiReturnPaginated($usersPaginated,$transformer=null);

Or you can return an error and specify the code

return $this->apiError($errors,$code=400);

Request Time

By defining at the following line in your index.php (App entry) the API response will be able to return the milliseconds your code ran for

define('APP_START', microtime(true));
