README

This is a Laravel framework integration for the JSON API parser.

The JSON API parser allows you to read and validate requests that are structured with the jsonapi.org specification.

Version compatibility

JSON API Parser version	Laravel Version	PHP Version
1.X	5.1 - 5.6	>= 5.6

Installation

You install the package by using composer:

composer require drpdigital/laravel-json-api-parser

If you are using Laravel 5.5 onwards the package will automatically register itself.

If you are on Laravel 5.4 or lower then you will need to register the service provider in your config/app.php

'providers' => [
    ...
    \Drp\LaravelJsonApiParser\JsonApiParserServiceProvider::class,
    ...
]

How to validate your resources

When wanting to validate a resource within your payload, you need to give the JsonApiValidator a ValidatorExecutor. This can be done in a few ways specified below. With all of these the first parameter is a string of the type of resource it needs to validate.

So for example if you had a request like:

{
  "data": {
    "id": 1,
    "type": "user",
    "attributes": {
      "name": "Bob"
    }
  }
}

Then your first parameter would be 'user'.

Using ::make

$jsonApiValidator = app(JsonApiValidator::class);
$jsonApiValidator->validator(
    'user',
    \Drp\LaravelJsonApiParser\Validation\Validator::make(
        ['name' => 'required'],
        ['name.required' => 'You must provide a name']
    )
);

The rules and messages you provide are whatever Laravel can support as our validator is just a decorated for Laravel's.

Using custom class

When using a custom validator class you will need to extend our validator class \Drp\LaravelJsonApiParser\Validation\Validator. You then specify a rules and messages function inside the class and return an array of rules and messages in their respective functions.

<?php

namespace App\Validators;

use Drp\LaravelJsonApiParser\Validation\Validator;

class UserValidator extends Validator
{
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'name' => 'required',
        ];
    }

    public function messages()
    {
        return [
           'name.required' => 'Testing Message',
        ];
    }
}

$jsonApiValidator = app(JsonApiValidator::class);
$jsonApiValidator->validator(
    'user',
    new UserValidator()
);

How to resolve your resources into Models

For more documentation on how to use the JSON API parser please visit the base package's repository.

Sample Usage

The request:

{
  "data": {
    "type": "brochure",
    "attributes": {
      "title": "My Brochure",
      "page_size": "A4"
    }
  }
}

The handler:

public function store(Request $request) : array
{
    $collection = json_api()
        ->resolver('brochure', function (array $data) {
            return Brochure::create($data);
        })->parse($request->json()->all());
}
