Usage

Example 1:

This example shows you how to use the basic required methods.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
            'title' => 'required|unique:posts|max:255',
            'body' => 'required',
        ]);

        if ($validator->fails()) {
            // Status code 400 for "Bad Request"
            return ApiResponse::response(400)
                ->addDetails($validator->errors())
                ->json();
        }

        $post = Post::create($validator->validated());

        // Status code 200 for "Ok" or 201 for "Created"
        return ApiResponse::response(201)
            ->addDatas($post)
            ->json();
    }
}

Success response:

{
    "success": {
        "status": 201,
        "message": "Created",
        "data": {
            "id": 1,
            "title": "Morbi in diam id dolor vehicula finibus",
            "content": "<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ...</p>",
            "created_at": "2023-04-20 00:00:00",
            "updated_at": "2023-04-20 00:00:00"
        }
    }
}

Error response:

{
    "error": {
        "status": 404,
        "message": "Not Found"
    }
}

Exemple 2:

This example shows you how to use a method to find a model and return a JSON Reponse in a single line of code.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Post;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

class PostController extends Controller
{
	public function show(int $post_id)
	{
		return ApiResponse::find(Post::class, $post_id)->json();
	}
}

If model found:

{
    "success": {
        "status": 200,
        "message": "Post Found",
        "data": {
            "id": 1,
            "title": "Morbi in diam id dolor vehicula finibus",
            "content": "<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ...</p>",
            "created_at": "2023-04-20 00:00:00",
            "updated_at": "2023-04-20 00:00:00"
        }
    }
}

Else:

{
    "error": {
        "status": 404,
        "message": "Post Not Found"
    }
}

Documentation

Available methods:

<?php

// First, you can instantiate response with a status code (required):
$response = ApiResponse::response(int $statusCode);
// or directly find a model by id:
$response = ApiResponse::find(Model::class, int $id);

// To add custom message:
$response->addMessage(string $message);

// To add datas to return when success:
$response->addDatas(array $datas);

// To add details (e.g. validator errors) when error:
$response->addDetails(mixed $details);
// or
$response->addDetails(array $details);
$response->addDetails(array $details);

// Last, formate response into json (required):
$response->json()
