<?php

    namespace App\HTTP;

    class UserController extents Controller
    {
        use Lolaji\LaravelControllerTrait\LaravelControllerTrait;

        protected $_model = User::class;

        // Return the total number of parent model (in this case User model)
        // if count=true is added to the query string
        // and if this is set to false or not declared 
        // it will not return the total number of the parent model regardless
        // wheather you add count=true query string
        protected bool $_enable_result_count=true;

        protected array $_relation_models = ["profile", "posts"];

        // Perform the same function as the $_enable_count_result except
        // it works specifically for the relation model you declared in $_relation_models
        protected bool $_enable_posts_result_count=true;

        // Return the HTTP response of the form error and requests if set to true
        // This means it calls the ->validate() method on 
        // Validator::make(..., ...) like  Validator::make(..., ...)->validate()
        // and response()->json(...) after request completed.
        protected bool $_enable_http_response = true;
        protected bool $_enable_posts_http_response = true;
