README

This package provides you a regular uniformed JSON response structure.

Installation

$ composer require motrack/hoodie

For Laravel version < 5.5

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

Motrack\Hoodie\Providers\HoodieServiceProvider::class,

you can add the facade name as an alias to the config/app.php

"aliases": {
    "Hoodie" => Motrack\Hoodie\Facades\Hoodie::class
}

or just add the facade class wherever you need.

use Motrack\Hoodie\Facades\Hoodie

Basic Usage

there are two basic methods respondSuccess() and respondError() for the general response managing. for example you can easily make a response in your Controller using Hoodie

    public function doFunction(): JsonResponse
    {
        ...
        return Hoodie::respondSuccess();
    }

there are still options for customizing the response message, status code, or even setting some custom headers.

return Hoodie::respondSuccess('Success!', 200, ['token' => $token, 'platform' => 'core']);

you can even pass the exception through the respondError() method to manage the response error when the APP_DEBUG is true in your .env file, if you wish.

return Hoodie::respondError('Something went wrong!', 500, $exception, $headers );

Advanced Usage

if you want to pass your using resource through the result of the API response, you can call respondWithResource() method.

use App\Http\Resources\PostResource; // the Json Resource you've provided for the result

class PostController extends Controller
{
    ...
    public function show(Post $post): JsonResponse
    {
        return Hoodie::respondWithResource(new PostResource($post) , 'Post Created Successfully', 201 , ['my_custom_header' => 'header_value']);
    }
    ...
}

the respondWithResourceCollection() method is using for when you need to pass a Json Collection Resource through the result of your API.

use App\Http\Resources\PostCollection; // the Json Collection you've provided for the result

class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function index(): JsonResponse
    {
        return Hoodie::respondWithResourceCollection(new PostCollection(Post::paginate()) , 'List of Posts Retrieved Successfully', 200 , ['my_custom_header' => 'header_value']);
    }
    ...
}
