Introduction

Laravel Assembler is used to retrieve specifying fields of Eloquent Model or DTO for front-end requests, reducing the need for API interface upgrades.

Requirements

This package requires Laravel 5.4 or newer.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require homesheer/laravel-assembler

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="HomeSheer\LaravelAssembler\AssemblerServiceProvider" --tag="config"

For Laravel 5.4 or older:

// config/app.php
HomeSheer\LaravelAssembler\AssemblerServiceProvider::class,

For Lumen:

// bootstrap/app.php
$app->register(HomeSheer\LaravelAssembler\AssemblerServiceProvider::class);

Usage

1. Instantiate Assembler or a subclass inherited from Assembler and pass in Eloquent model or DTO:

$assembler = new Assembler(User::find($id));

2. Call the getAssembledData method of Assembler to obtain the assembled data:

$assembledUserData = $assembler->getAssembledData();

3. Add the query string fields to the URL and specify the fields to be acquired:

The controller method of request returns the $assembledUserData of the previous step.

return $this->response($assembledUserData);

Request API interface to specify fields in the fields query string

// Get name and gender field information for users with ID 1
Http://localhost/users/1?fields={name,gender}

4. Attributes that do not exist in Eloquent Model or DTO can also be obtained:

Simply create a new class that inherits from Assembler and defines the method of getting the virtual attributes

class UserAssembler extends Assembler
{
    public function getVirtualField()
    {
        return 'VirtualField';
    }
}

Then add the virtual field to the request

http://localhost/users/1?fields={name,gender,virtualField}

5. Supports three types of source data: objects with getter methods, objects without getter methods but with public attributes, and associative arrays:

Objects with getter methods:

class User
{
    public function getName()
    {
        return 'Mars';
    }
}

Objects without getter methods but with public attributes:

class User
{
    public $name = 'Mars';
}

Association array:

$user = [
    'name' => 'Mars',
];

6. Priority:

The acquired field is retrieved from high to low in the following order until the field terminates and returns null by default if it is not retrieved.

• Customize the getter method in Assembler
• The getter method in Eloquent Model or DTO
• Attributes in Eloquent Model or DTO

7. Nested Cascade:

In the case of Eloquent Model, natural support is provided for acquiring associated model attributes, as well as customized getter methods or attributes to return objects or arrays.

// Address is the associated object of user model
http://localhost/users/1?fields={name,gender,address{province,city}}

In the case of DTO, you need to define your own getter method or attribute that returns objects or arrays.

If it's an associative array, it's just a multidimensional associative array.

For response speed, it is not recommended to nest more than five layers.

8. config

If a customized Assembler and maps in config/assembler.php configure the corresponding relationship, the corresponding getter method of getAssembledData is automatically obtained when the getAssembler method is called after instantiating the parent class Assembler.
