README
This package provides a trait to add to your Eloquent models to get automatic API Resource detection.
Installation
composer require grantholle/api-resource-detection
Usage
You generate resources for your models by using the php artisan make:resource
command. This will create a resource in your app/Http/Resources
directory. This package detects different naming conventions. You can name your resources the same as your model or name it using the Resource
suffix, like ModelResource
In your models that have resources, you can add the HasResource
trait.
Assume we have a resource named UserResource
.
php artisan make:resource UserResource
Let's add the trait to the User
model:
namespace App\Models; use GrantHolle\Http\Resources\Traits\HasResource; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; class User extends Model { use HasResource; protected $guarded = []; }
Now when you want to get the resource for the model, you can call toResource()
on the model instance to detect and retrieve the API resource for the model.
$user = User::find(1); // This will be a UserResource instance $user->toResource();
You can also use the alternative syntax of Model::resource()
.
$user = User::find(1); User::resource($user);
This also works for collection of models.
$users = User::all(); User::resource($users);
This will automatically look for a UserCollection
or UserCollectionResource
resource class. If none is found it will default to calling the collection()
function on the standard resource class.
If your application has a different namespace other than the default resource namespace, you can tell it to use a different namespace for your resources.
In a service provider,
public function boot() { \GrantHolle\Http\Resources\JsonResource::resolveResourceNamespaceUsing(function () { return 'My\\Resource\\Namespace\\'; }); }
You can also change how the resources is guessed and return a new class name based on the model. By default, it looks for your model name or model name with the Resource
suffix in the default resource namespace. You can also customize how collections are resolved.
public function boot() { \GrantHolle\Http\Resources\JsonResource::guessResourceNamesUsing(function ($modelClass) { $modelName = class_basename($modelClass); // This will return a resource with the class name // ModelApiResource in the `My\Resource\Namespace` namespace. return 'My\\Resource\\Namespace\\' . $modelName . 'ApiResource'; }); \GrantHolle\Http\Resources\JsonResource::guessResourceCollectionNamesUsing(function ($modelClass) { $modelName = class_basename($modelClass); // This will return a resource with the class name // ModelCollectionApiResource in the `My\Resource\Namespace` namespace. return 'My\\Resource\\Namespace\\' . $modelName . 'CollectionApiResource'; }); }
