)

Usage

Basic Example

Formatting a single item:

// routes.php
Route::get('/me', array('before' => 'auth', function () {
    return Fractal::item(Auth::user(), new UserTransformer);
}));

Formatting a collection:

// routes.php
Route::get('/comments', function () {
    return Fractal::collection(Comment::all(), new CommentTransformer);
});

Adding meta data:

// routes.php
Route::get('/comments', function () {
    return Fractal::collection(Comment::all(), new CommentTransformer, function ($resources) {
        $resources->setMetaValue('foo', 'bar');
    });
});

Returning a paginated collection:

// routes.php
Route::get('/comments', function () {
    return Fractal::collection(Comment::paginate(), new CommentTransformer);
});

Using a custom pagination adapter:

// routes.php
Route::get('/comments', function () {
    $comments = Comment::paginate();
    $adapter = new MyIlluminatePaginationAdapter($comments);
    return Fractal::collection($comments, new CommentTransformer, null, $adapter);
});
