🔧 Recent Major Fixes

✅ Comprehensive Attribute Flattening Resolution (v1.2.1)

Problem Solved: API responses were being stored in a single data attribute instead of being flattened into individual model attributes.

Root Cause Found: Multiple methods were using mapApiAttributes() and fill() instead of the proper newFromApiResponse() method.

Fixed Methods:

✅ find() method in ApiModelQueries.php
✅ all() method in ApiModelQueries.php
✅ save() method in ApiModelQueries.php
✅ createViaApi() method in ApiModel.php
✅ updateViaApi() method in ApiModel.php

Before (Problematic):

$product = Product::find(1);
echo $product->data['name']; // ❌ All data in single attribute

After (Fixed):

$product = Product::find(1);
echo $product->name;  // ✅ Individual attributes accessible
echo $product->id;    // ✅ Clean attribute access
echo $product->sku;   // ✅ No data pollution

🧹 Complete Trait Architecture Cleanup

Removed Problematic Methods:

❌ Infinite recursion in HasApiOperations::newFromApiResponse()
❌ Complex reflection logic in LazyLoadsApiRelationships
❌ Method conflicts between traits

Result: Clean, professional trait architecture with no conflicts or redundant code.

🔧 Enhanced Metadata Storage

✅ Separate $apiResponseData property for metadata
✅ Clean model serialization without pollution
✅ Original API response accessible via getApiResponseData()

📦 Installation

Requirements

PHP 8.1 or higher
Laravel 10.0 or higher
OpenAPI 3.0+ specification (for OpenAPI features)

Install via Composer

# Install the main package
composer require m-tech-stack/laravel-api-model-client

# Install OpenAPI dependency for schema parsing
composer require cebe/php-openapi

Publish Configuration

# Publish all configuration files
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\ServiceProvider"

# Or publish specific configurations
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="api-client-config"
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="api-client-examples"

Environment Setup

# Copy example environment variables
cp .env.api-client.example .env.local

# Add to your .env file
API_CLIENT_PRIMARY_SCHEMA=https://api.example.com/openapi.json
API_CLIENT_PRIMARY_BASE_URL=https://api.example.com
API_CLIENT_PRIMARY_TOKEN=your-api-token

⚡ Quick Start

1. Basic Configuration

// config/api-client.php
return [
    'schemas' => [
        'primary' => [
            'source' => env('API_CLIENT_PRIMARY_SCHEMA'),
            'base_url' => env('API_CLIENT_PRIMARY_BASE_URL'),
            'authentication' => [
                'type' => 'bearer',
                'token' => env('API_CLIENT_PRIMARY_TOKEN'),
            ],
            'validation' => [
                'enabled' => true,
                'strictness' => 'moderate', // strict, moderate, lenient
            ],
            'caching' => [
                'enabled' => true,
                'ttl' => 3600,
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

2. Create Your First Model

<?php

namespace App\Models\Api;

use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Models\ApiModel;
use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Traits\HasOpenApiSchema;

class Product extends ApiModel
{
    use HasOpenApiSchema;
    
    protected string $openApiSchemaSource = 'primary';
    protected string $endpoint = '/products';
    
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'description', 'price', 'category_id'
    ];
    
    // Relationships are automatically detected from OpenAPI schema
    public function category()
    {
        return $this->belongsToFromApi(Category::class, 'category_id');
    }
}

3. Use the Model

// Query with OpenAPI validation
$products = Product::whereOpenApi('status', 'active')
    ->whereOpenApi('price', '>', 10.00)
    ->orderByOpenApi('created_at', 'desc')
    ->limitOpenApi(20)
    ->get();

// Create with automatic validation
$product = Product::create([
    'name' => 'New Product',
    'price' => 29.99,
    'status' => 'active',
]);

// Access relationships
$category = $product->category;

4. Validate Your Setup

# Validate schema and configuration
php artisan api-client:validate-schema

# Test API connectivity
php artisan api-client:test-connection

# Generate models from schema
php artisan api-client:generate-models

5. 🔧 Test Attribute Flattening (CRITICAL)

The most important verification step - Ensure API responses are properly flattened into individual model attributes:

# Test in Laravel Tinker
php artisan tinker

// ✅ Test individual attribute access (should work)
$product = Product::find(1);
echo "ID: " . $product->id . "\n";        // ✅ Should work
echo "Name: " . $product->name . "\n";    // ✅ Should work  
echo "SKU: " . $product->sku . "\n";      // ✅ Should work

// ✅ Verify no data pollution (should be null/empty)
var_dump($product->data);                 // ✅ Should be null

// ✅ Check model attributes are clean
print_r($product->getAttributes());      // ✅ Should show individual fields

// ✅ Test relations work properly
$variants = $product->variants;           // ✅ Should return collection
$image = $product->featured_image;        // ✅ Should return model instance

// ✅ Test metadata storage is separate
$apiData = $product->getApiResponseData(); // ✅ Should contain raw API response

Expected Results (v1.2.1 Fixes):

✅ Individual attributes accessible: $product->id, $product->name, $product->sku
✅ No single data attribute containing everything
✅ Clean model serialization without metadata pollution
✅ Working relations that return proper model instances
✅ Raw API data accessible via getApiResponseData() method

If you see problems:

// ❌ PROBLEM: Single data attribute (old behavior)
$product = Product::find(1);
var_dump($product->getAttributes());
// Shows: ['data' => ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Product']] ❌

// ✅ EXPECTED: Individual attributes (fixed behavior)  
$product = Product::find(1);
var_dump($product->getAttributes());
// Shows: ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Product', 'sku' => 'ABC123'] ✅

If you encounter the problem behavior, ensure you're using v1.2.1+ and clear caches:

composer update m-tech-stack/laravel-api-model-client
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear

📖 OpenAPI Integration

Automatic Model Generation

Generate Laravel models directly from your OpenAPI specification:

# Generate all models from primary schema
php artisan api-client:generate-models

# Generate from specific schema
php artisan api-client:generate-models --schema=ecommerce

# Generate with custom namespace
php artisan api-client:generate-models --namespace=App\Models\Ecommerce

Schema Validation

Validate API requests and responses against your OpenAPI schema:

class Product extends ApiModel
{
    use HasOpenApiSchema;
    
    // Validation is automatic based on OpenAPI schema
    protected array $validationConfig = [
        'strictness' => 'moderate', // strict, moderate, lenient
        'validate_requests' => true,
        'validate_responses' => true,
        'fail_on_validation_error' => true,
    ];
}

Dynamic Query Building

Build queries with automatic parameter validation:

// These methods validate parameters against OpenAPI schema
$products = Product::whereOpenApi('category_id', 1)
    ->whereOpenApi('price', 'between', [10, 100])
    ->whereOpenApi('tags', 'contains', 'electronics')
    ->orderByOpenApi('popularity', 'desc')
    ->paginateOpenApi(20);

// Custom query parameters from OpenAPI spec
$products = Product::withOpenApiParams([
    'include' => 'category,reviews',
    'fields' => 'id,name,price',
    'filter[status]' => 'active',
])->get();

Multi-Schema Support

Handle multiple APIs and versions:

// config/api-client.php
'schemas' => [
    'ecommerce_v1' => [
        'source' => 'https://api.shop.com/v1/openapi.json',
        'base_url' => 'https://api.shop.com/v1',
    ],
    'ecommerce_v2' => [
        'source' => 'https://api.shop.com/v2/openapi.json',
        'base_url' => 'https://api.shop.com/v2',
    ],
    'payment' => [
        'source' => storage_path('schemas/stripe-openapi.json'),
        'base_url' => 'https://api.stripe.com',
    ],
];

// Use different schemas in models
class ProductV1 extends ApiModel
{
    use HasOpenApiSchema;
    protected string $openApiSchemaSource = 'ecommerce_v1';
}

class ProductV2 extends ApiModel
{
    use HasOpenApiSchema;
    protected string $openApiSchemaSource = 'ecommerce_v2';
}

<?php

namespace Tests\Feature;

use Tests\TestCase;
use App\Models\Api\Product;
use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Testing\MocksApiResponses;

class ProductApiTest extends TestCase
{
    use MocksApiResponses;

    /** @test */
    public function it_can_create_product_with_openapi_validation()
    {
        // Mock API response
        $this->mockApiResponse('POST', '/products', [
            'id' => 1,
            'name' => 'Test Product',
            'price' => 29.99,
            'status' => 'active',
        ]);

        // Test with OpenAPI validation
        $product = Product::create([
            'name' => 'Test Product',
            'price' => 29.99,
            'status' => 'active',
        ]);

        $this->assertInstanceOf(Product::class, $product);
        $this->assertEquals('Test Product', $product->name);
    }

    /** @test */
    public function it_validates_against_openapi_schema()
    {
        $this->expectException(ValidationException::class);

        // This should fail OpenAPI validation
        Product::create([
            'name' => '', // Required field
            'price' => -10, // Invalid price
        ]);
    }
}

Performance Testing

/** @test */
public function it_performs_efficiently_with_large_datasets()
{
    $startTime = microtime(true);
    $startMemory = memory_get_usage();

    // Test bulk operations
    $products = Product::whereOpenApi('status', 'active')
        ->limitOpenApi(1000)
        ->get();

    $endTime = microtime(true);
    $endMemory = memory_get_usage();

    $this->assertLessThan(2.0, $endTime - $startTime);
    $this->assertLessThan(50 * 1024 * 1024, $endMemory - $startMemory);
}

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Solutions

🔧 API Connection Issues

// Enable debug mode to see detailed request/response information
config(['api-client.debug' => true]);

// Check the last request and response
$lastRequest = ApiClient::getLastRequest();
$lastResponse = ApiClient::getLastResponse();

// Test connectivity
php artisan api-client:test-connection --verbose

Common causes:

Invalid API endpoint URLs
Authentication token expired
Network connectivity issues
SSL certificate problems

⚡ Performance Issues

// Enable high-performance caching
config(['high-performance-cache.enabled' => true]);

// Use query optimization
$products = Product::select(['id', 'name', 'price'])
    ->with('category')
    ->limit(100)
    ->get();

// Check cache status
php artisan api-client:cache status

Optimization tips:

Enable Redis caching
Use selective field loading
Implement proper pagination
Utilize relationship eager loading

🛡️ Schema Validation Errors

// Adjust validation strictness
config(['api-client.schemas.primary.validation.strictness' => 'lenient']);

// Validate schema manually
php artisan api-client:validate-schema --detailed

// Debug validation issues
Product::create($data); // Will show detailed validation errors

Common solutions:

Update OpenAPI schema files
Adjust validation strictness levels
Check data type compatibility
Verify required field mappings

Debug Commands

# Comprehensive system check
php artisan api-client:test --verbose

# Schema validation
php artisan api-client:validate-schema --health-check

Basic Usage

Creating an API Model

Create a model that extends ApiModel (which includes all necessary traits automatically):

<?php

namespace App\Models\Api;

use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Models\ApiModel;

class Product extends ApiModel
{
    /**
     * The API endpoint for this model.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $apiEndpoint = 'products';
    
    /**
     * The database table for hybrid data source mode (optional).
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $table = 'products';
    
    /**
     * Data source mode for this model (optional - defaults to config).
     * Available modes: 'api_only', 'db_only', 'hybrid', 'api_first', 'dual_sync'
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $dataSourceMode = 'hybrid';
    
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'id',
        'name',
        'description',
        'price',
        'category_id',
    ];
    
    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast.
     *
     * @var array

        'updated_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    public function reviews()

    }
}

Built-in Traits and Capabilities

The ApiModel class automatically includes these powerful traits:

ApiModelAttributes: Enhanced attribute handling for API data
ApiModelCaching: Intelligent caching with TTL and invalidation
ApiModelErrorHandling: Comprehensive error handling and logging
ApiModelEvents: Laravel event integration for API operations
ApiModelInterfaceMethods: Core API interface methods
ApiModelQueries: Advanced query builder for API requests
HasApiRelationships: Full relationship support (hasMany, belongsTo, etc.)
LazyLoadsApiRelationships: Efficient lazy loading of relationships
SyncWithApi: Database synchronization methods (syncFromApi, syncToApi)
HybridDataSource: Intelligent switching between API and database

⚠️ Important Note: As of v1.0.14, the SyncWithApi trait is now built into ApiModel. You no longer need to manually add use SyncWithApi; to your models. The trait collision between SyncWithApi::syncToApi and HybridDataSource::syncToApi has been resolved with HybridDataSource taking precedence for better hybrid data source compatibility.

This means you get all these capabilities automatically without needing to manually add traits:

// All of these work out of the box with ApiModel
$product = Product::find(1);                    // HybridDataSource
$products = Product::where('active', true)->get(); // ApiModelQueries
$category = $product->category;                  // HasApiRelationships + LazyLoading
$product->save();                               // ApiModelInterfaceMethods + Events
$product->syncFromApi();                        // SyncWithApi (now built-in)
// Automatic caching, error handling, and event firing

Migration from Previous Versions

If you're upgrading from a version prior to v1.0.14 and have models that manually include the SyncWithApi trait:

// ❌ Old way (will cause trait collision)
class Product extends ApiModel
{
    use SyncWithApi; // Remove this line
    
    protected $apiEndpoint = 'products';
}

// ✅ New way (v1.0.14+)
class Product extends ApiModel
{
    // SyncWithApi is now included automatically
    protected $apiEndpoint = 'products';
}

Using API Models

Use API models just like regular Eloquent models:

// Find a product by ID
$product = Product::find(1);

// Get all products
$products = Product::all();

// Query products
$expensiveProducts = Product::where('price', '>', 100)->get();

// Use relationships
$category = $product->category;
$reviews = $product->reviews;

// Create a new product
$newProduct = Product::create([
    'name' => 'New Product',
    'description' => 'This is a new product',
    'price' => 99.99,
    'category_id' => 2,
]);

// Update a product
$product->update(['price' => 149.99]);

// Delete a product
$product->delete();

API Model Lifecycle

Understanding the API model lifecycle helps you work with the package more effectively:

// Creating a new model instance
$product = new Product();
$product->name = 'New Product';
$product->price = 99.99;

// Save to API - triggers API POST request
$product->save();

// At this point, the model has been saved to the API and has an ID

// Refresh from API - triggers API GET request
$product->refreshFromApi();

// Update model - triggers API PUT/PATCH request
$product->price = 149.99;
$product->save();

// Delete from API - triggers API DELETE request
$product->delete();

API Relationships

Available Relationships

The package supports the following relationship types:

hasManyFromApi: One-to-many relationship
belongsToFromApi: Many-to-one relationship
hasOneFromApi: One-to-one relationship
belongsToManyFromApi: Many-to-many relationship
hasManyThroughFromApi: One-to-many relationship through an intermediate model
morphManyFromApi: Polymorphic one-to-many relationship

Defining Relationships

Define relationships in your models:

// One-to-many relationship
public function reviews()
{
    return $this->hasManyFromApi(Review::class, 'product_id');
}

// Many-to-one relationship
public function category()
{
    return $this->belongsToFromApi(Category::class, 'category_id');
}

// One-to-one relationship
public function featuredImage()
{
    return $this->hasOneFromApi(Image::class, 'product_id');
}

// Many-to-many relationship
public function tags()
{
    return $this->belongsToManyFromApi(
        Tag::class,
        'product_tags', // pivot endpoint
        'product_id',
        'tag_id'
    );
}

// One-to-many relationship through an intermediate model
public function comments()
{
    return $this->hasManyThroughFromApi(
        Comment::class,  // Final model we want to access
        Post::class,     // Intermediate model
        'user_id',       // Foreign key on intermediate model
        'post_id'        // Foreign key on final model
    );
}

// Polymorphic one-to-many relationship
public function comments()
{
    return $this->morphManyFromApi(
        Comment::class,
        'commentable'    // The name of the relationship
    );
}

// In your Comment model
public function commentable()
{
    return $this->morphToFromApi();
}

Working with Relationships

Here are examples of working with different relationship types:

// One-to-many relationship
$product = Product::find(1);
$reviews = $product->reviews; // Get all reviews for this product

// Create a new related model
$newReview = $product->reviews()->create([
    'rating' => 5,
    'comment' => 'Great product!'
]);

// Many-to-one relationship
$review = Review::find(1);
$product = $review->product; // Get the product for this review

// One-to-one relationship
$product = Product::find(1);
$image = $product->featuredImage; // Get the featured image

// Update a related model
$product->featuredImage->update([
    'url' => 'https://example.com/new-image.jpg'
]);

// Many-to-many relationship
$product = Product::find(1);
$tags = $product->tags; // Get all tags for this product

// Attach a tag to a product
$product->tags()->attach(5);

// Detach a tag from a product
$product->tags()->detach(3);

// Sync tags (remove existing and add new ones)
$product->tags()->sync([1, 2, 5]);

// One-to-many through relationship
$user = User::find(1);
$comments = $user->comments; // Get all comments on the user's posts

// Polymorphic relationships
$product = Product::find(1);
$comments = $product->comments; // Get comments for this product

$post = Post::find(1);
$comments = $post->comments; // Get comments for this post

Query Builder

Use the query builder to filter API results:

// Basic where clauses
$products = Product::where('category_id', 1)
    ->where('price', '>', 50)
    ->get();

// Where with array of conditions
$products = Product::where([
    ['status', '=', 'active'],
    ['price', '>', 100]
])->get();

// Where with OR condition
$products = Product::where('category_id', 1)
    ->orWhere('featured', true)
    ->get();

// Where with nested conditions
$products = Product::where('category_id', 1)
    ->where(function($query) {
        $query->where('price', '>', 100)
              ->orWhere('featured', true);
    })
    ->get();

// Order by
$products = Product::orderBy('price', 'desc')->get();

// Multiple order by
$products = Product::orderBy('category_id')
    ->orderBy('price', 'desc')
    ->get();

// Limit and offset
$products = Product::limit(10)->offset(20)->get();

// Pagination
$products = Product::paginate(15);
$products = Product::where('category_id', 1)->paginate(15);

// Custom query parameters
$products = Product::withQueryParam('include', 'category,tags')
    ->withQueryParam('fields', 'id,name,price')
    ->get();

// Custom macros
$products = Product::whereContains('name', 'phone')->get();

Caching

API responses are automatically cached based on your configuration. You can customize caching behavior:

// Set a custom cache TTL for a specific model
class Product extends ApiModel
{
    use SyncWithApi;
    
    protected $apiEndpoint = 'products';
    protected $cacheTtl = 1800; // 30 minutes
}

// Disable caching for a query
$products = Product::withoutCache()->get();

// Refresh cache for a model
$product = Product::find(1);
$product->refreshFromApi();

// Clear cache for a model
Product::clearCache();

// Clear cache for a specific model instance
$product = Product::find(1);
$product->clearCache();

// Clear cache for a specific query
Product::where('category_id', 1)->clearCache();

// Set custom cache key
$products = Product::withCacheKey('featured_products')
    ->where('featured', true)
    ->get();

## Polymorphic Relations (morphTo) with API Models

Polymorphic relations are fully supported. To ensure polymorphic targets that are API-backed (extend `ApiModel`) are fetched correctly, use the opt-in `UsesApiMorphTo` trait on the model that defines the morphTo accessor.

### When to use `UsesApiMorphTo`

- __If your model has an attribute like `entity_type`/`entity_id` and a `morphTo` called `entity()`__ and the target might be an API model, add the trait so the accessor can resolve API targets seamlessly.
- For non-API targets, it falls back to standard Laravel `morphTo` behavior.

### Setup

```php
use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Traits\UsesApiMorphTo;

class OrderDetails extends Model
{
    use UsesApiMorphTo; // Enables API-aware morphTo resolution

    public function entity()
    {
        // Standard morphTo declaration remains
        return $this->morphTo();
    }
}

How it works

Direct Attribute Accessor: The trait provides getEntityAttribute() that safely reads the raw entity_type/entity_id using getOriginal() to avoid recursion.
ApiModel Detection: If the resolved class extends ApiModel, it fetches via API; otherwise it uses standard Eloquent morphing.
Caching: Once resolved, the relation is cached on the model instance to prevent repeated API calls within the request lifecycle.

Morph map configuration (optional)

You can register polymorphic aliases for API models using the package config so short names map to API model classes:

// config/api-model-client.php
return [
    // ...
    'morph_map' => [
        'product' => App\Models\Api\Product::class,
        'category' => App\Models\Api\Category::class,
    ],
];

Quick test in Tinker

php artisan tinker --execute="\$o = App\\Models\\Tenant\\OrderDetails::find(13047); \$e = \$o->entity; dump(get_class(\$e), optional(\$e)->id);"

Hybrid Data Source Modes

The package supports multiple data source modes to balance local database and remote API usage. These modes are defined by MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Contracts\DataSourceModes:

api_only: Always use the API for reads/writes.
db_only: Always use the local database.
hybrid: Read from DB first, fallback to API if missing.
api_first: Read from API first, optionally sync to DB.
dual_sync: Keep DB and API in sync for writes; reads use best source.

Configure globally

// config/hybrid-data-source.php
return [
    'global_mode' => env('API_MODEL_DATA_SOURCE_MODE', 'hybrid'),
];

Configure per model (config)

// config/hybrid-data-source.php
return [
    'models' => [
        'product' => [
            'data_source_mode' => 'api_first',
            'sync_enabled' => true,
        ],
    ],
];

Configure per model (class property)

use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Contracts\DataSourceModes;
use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Models\ApiModel;

class Product extends ApiModel
{
    protected $apiEndpoint = 'products';

    // Prefer constants from the interface for IDE support & refactor safety
    protected $dataSourceMode = DataSourceModes::MODE_API_FIRST;
}

Notes

Trait constants moved: As of v1.2.x, constants were moved out of the HybridDataSource trait into the DataSourceModes interface (PHP traits cannot declare constants). Update your imports accordingly.
Safe fallbacks: If mode is not set, the default is hybrid.
Logging: Enable APP_DEBUG=true to see hybrid mode decisions in logs during development.

Authentication

The package supports multiple authentication strategies: {{ ... }}

Bearer Token

// In your .env file
API_MODEL_RELATIONS_AUTH_STRATEGY=bearer
API_MODEL_RELATIONS_AUTH_TOKEN=your-token-here

// Or set dynamically in your code
ApiClient::setAuthStrategy('bearer');
ApiClient::setAuthToken('your-dynamic-token');

Basic Auth

// In your .env file
API_MODEL_RELATIONS_AUTH_STRATEGY=basic
API_MODEL_RELATIONS_AUTH_USERNAME=your-username
API_MODEL_RELATIONS_AUTH_PASSWORD=your-password

// Or set dynamically in your code
ApiClient::setAuthStrategy('basic');
ApiClient::setBasicAuth('username', 'password');

API Key

// In your .env file
API_MODEL_RELATIONS_AUTH_STRATEGY=api_key
API_MODEL_RELATIONS_AUTH_API_KEY=your-api-key
API_MODEL_RELATIONS_AUTH_HEADER_NAME=X-API-KEY

// Or set dynamically in your code
ApiClient::setAuthStrategy('api_key');
ApiClient::setApiKey('your-api-key', 'X-API-KEY');

Custom Authentication

You can implement custom authentication strategies:

use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Auth\AuthStrategyInterface;

class CustomAuthStrategy implements AuthStrategyInterface
{
    public function apply($request)
    {
        // Apply your custom authentication to the request
        return $request->withHeader('X-Custom-Auth', 'custom-value');
    }
}

// Register your custom strategy
app()->bind('api-model-relations.auth.custom', function() {
    return new CustomAuthStrategy();
});

// Use your custom strategy
ApiClient::setAuthStrategy('custom');

Events

The package dispatches events during the API request lifecycle:

use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Events\ApiRequestEvent;
use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Events\ApiResponseEvent;
use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Events\ApiExceptionEvent;
use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Events\ModelCreatedEvent;
use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Events\ModelUpdatedEvent;
use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Events\ModelDeletedEvent;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Event;

// Listen for API request events
Event::listen(ApiRequestEvent::class, function (ApiRequestEvent $event) {
    $method = $event->method;
    $endpoint = $event->endpoint;
    $options = $event->options;
    
    // Do something before the API request
    logger()->info("API Request: {$method} {$endpoint}");
});

// Listen for API response events
Event::listen(ApiResponseEvent::class, function (ApiResponseEvent $event) {
    $response = $event->response;
    $statusCode = $event->statusCode;
    
    // Do something with the API response
    logger()->info("API Response: {$statusCode}");
});

// Listen for API exception events
Event::listen(ApiExceptionEvent::class, function (ApiExceptionEvent $event) {
    $exception = $event->exception;
    
    // Handle API exceptions
    logger()->error("API Exception: {$exception->getMessage()}");
});

// Listen for model lifecycle events
Event::listen(ModelCreatedEvent::class, function (ModelCreatedEvent $event) {
    $model = $event->model;
    logger()->info("Model created: " . get_class($model) . " #{$model->id}");
});

Middleware Pipeline

The package uses a middleware pipeline to process API requests. You can add custom middleware:

use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Middleware\AbstractApiMiddleware;

class CustomMiddleware extends AbstractApiMiddleware
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->priority = 50; // Set middleware priority
    }
    
    public function handle($request, \Closure $next)
    {
        // Modify the request
        $request = $request->withHeader('X-Custom-Header', 'custom-value');
        
        // Call the next middleware
        $response = $next($request);
        
        // Modify the response
        return $response->withHeader('X-Response-Time', microtime(true) - LARAVEL_START);
    }
}

// Register your middleware
app()->bind('api-model-relations.middleware.custom', function() {
    return new CustomMiddleware();
});

// Add your middleware to the pipeline
config(['api-model-relations.middleware' => array_merge(
    config('api-model-relations.middleware', []),
    ['custom']
)]);

Error Handling

The package provides comprehensive error handling for API requests:

// Try to find a model that doesn't exist
try {
    $product = Product::findOrFail(999);
} catch (\MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Exceptions\ModelNotFoundException $e) {
    // Handle not found exception
    logger()->error("Product not found: {$e->getMessage()}");
}

// Try to create a model with validation errors
try {
    $product = Product::create([
        'name' => '',  // Required field
        'price' => 'invalid'  // Should be a number
    ]);
} catch (\MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Exceptions\ValidationException $e) {
    // Get validation errors
    $errors = $e->getErrors();
    logger()->error("Validation errors: " . json_encode($errors));
}

// Handle API connection errors
try {
    $products = Product::all();
} catch (\MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Exceptions\ApiConnectionException $e) {
    // Handle connection error
    logger()->error("API connection error: {$e->getMessage()}");
}

// Get the last API response
$lastResponse = ApiClient::getLastResponse();
$statusCode = $lastResponse->getStatusCode();
$body = $lastResponse->getBody()->getContents();

// Get the last API request
$lastRequest = ApiClient::getLastRequest();
$method = $lastRequest->getMethod();
$uri = $lastRequest->getUri();

Advanced Usage

Hybrid Data Source Management

The ApiModel class includes the HybridDataSource trait automatically, providing sophisticated hybrid data management between API and database:

use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Models\ApiModel;

class Product extends ApiModel
{
    protected $apiEndpoint = 'products';
    protected $table = 'products';
    
    // Set the data source mode (optional - defaults to config)
    protected $dataSourceMode = 'hybrid';
}

// Usage examples for different modes:

// 1. Hybrid Mode (database first, API fallback)
$product = Product::find(1); // Checks database first, then API

// 2. API First Mode (API first, sync to database)
$product = new Product();
$product->dataSourceMode = 'api_first';
$product = $product->find(1); // Checks API first, syncs to database

// 3. Dual Sync Mode (keep both in sync)
$product = new Product();
$product->dataSourceMode = 'dual_sync';
$product->name = 'Updated Product';
$product->save(); // Saves to both API and database

Available Data Source Modes

The HybridDataSource trait supports five intelligent modes:

api_only: All operations use API exclusively
db_only: All operations use database exclusively
hybrid: Check database first, fallback to API
api_first: Check API first, sync to database
dual_sync: Keep both database and API in sync

Configuration

Configure hybrid data source modes using the dedicated configuration file:

// config/hybrid-data-source.php
return [
    'global_mode' => env('API_MODEL_DATA_SOURCE_MODE', 'hybrid'),
    
    'models' => [
        'product' => [
            'data_source_mode' => env('PRODUCT_DATA_SOURCE_MODE', 'api_first'),
            'sync_enabled' => true,
            'cache_ttl' => 3600, // 1 hour
            'auto_sync_threshold' => 300, // 5 minutes
        ],
        'category' => [
            'data_source_mode' => env('CATEGORY_DATA_SOURCE_MODE', 'hybrid'),
            'sync_enabled' => true,
            'conflict_resolution' => 'timestamp', // 'timestamp', 'api_wins', 'db_wins'
        ],
    ],
    
    'sync_options' => [
        'batch_size' => 100,
        'retry_attempts' => 3,
        'retry_delay' => 1000, // milliseconds
    ],
];

Usage Examples

// Basic usage with hybrid mode
$product = Product::find(1); // Checks database first, then API if not found

// Switch modes dynamically
$product = new Product();
$product->setDataSourceMode('api_first');
$allProducts = $product->all(); // Gets from API first, syncs to database

// Dual sync mode - keeps both sources in sync
$product = Product::find(1);
$product->setDataSourceMode('dual_sync');
$product->name = 'Updated Product';
$product->save(); // Saves to both API and database automatically

// Advanced conflict resolution in dual_sync mode
$product = Product::find(1);
// Automatically compares timestamps and chooses most recent data
// Syncs both sources to maintain consistency

High-Performance Caching

The package includes a sophisticated multi-layer caching system with Redis support:

// config/high-performance-cache.php
return [
    'enabled' => env('HIGH_PERFORMANCE_CACHE_ENABLED', true),
    'driver' => env('HIGH_PERFORMANCE_CACHE_DRIVER', 'redis'),
    
    'redis' => [
        'connection' => env('HIGH_PERFORMANCE_CACHE_REDIS_CONNECTION', 'default'),
        'prefix' => env('HIGH_PERFORMANCE_CACHE_PREFIX', 'api_model_hp:'),
        'serializer' => 'igbinary', // 'php', 'igbinary', 'json'
    ],
    
    'ttl' => [
        'default' => env('HIGH_PERFORMANCE_CACHE_TTL', 3600),
        'models' => [
            'product' => 7200, // 2 hours
            'category' => 86400, // 24 hours
        ],
    ],
    
    'warming' => [
        'enabled' => env('CACHE_WARMING_ENABLED', true),
        'batch_size' => 100,
        'concurrent_requests' => 5,
    ],
    
    'invalidation' => [
        'strategy' => 'tag_based', // 'tag_based', 'key_pattern', 'manual'
        'auto_invalidate_on_update' => true,
    ],
];

// Usage in models
class Product extends ApiModel
{
    protected $cacheProfile = 'high_performance';
    protected $cacheTags = ['products', 'catalog'];
    protected $cacheTtl = 7200; // Override default TTL
    
    // Enable cache warming for this model
    protected $enableCacheWarming = true;
}

// Advanced caching operations
$product = Product::withCache('products:featured')
    ->where('featured', true)
    ->remember(3600) // Cache for 1 hour
    ->get();

// Cache warming
Product::warmCache(['featured' => true], 100); // Warm cache for featured products

// Cache invalidation
Product::invalidateCache(['products', 'catalog']); // Invalidate by tags
Product::find(1)->invalidateModelCache(); // Invalidate specific model cache

Custom Response Transformers

You can transform API responses before they're converted to models:

use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Transformers\AbstractResponseTransformer;

class CustomProductTransformer extends AbstractResponseTransformer
{
    public function transform($response)
    {
        $data = json_decode($response->getBody()->getContents(), true);
        
        // Transform the data
        if (isset($data['products'])) {
            return $data['products'];
        }
        
        return $data;
    }
}

// Register your transformer
app()->bind('api-model-relations.transformers.product', function() {
    return new CustomProductTransformer();
});

// Use your transformer in your model
class Product extends ApiModel
{
    protected $apiEndpoint = 'products';
    protected $responseTransformer = 'product';
    
    // ApiModel already includes all necessary traits automatically
    // No need to manually add SyncWithApi or other traits
}

API Mocking

For testing, you can mock API responses:

use MTechStack\LaravelApiModelClient\Testing\MocksApiResponses;
use Tests\TestCase;

class ProductTest extends TestCase
{
    use MocksApiResponses;
    
    public function testGetProducts()
    {
        // Mock a response for GET /products
        $this->mockApiResponse('GET', 'products', [
            'data' => [
                ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Product 1', 'price' => 99.99],
                ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Product 2', 'price' => 149.99],
            ]
        ]);
        
        // Now when Product::all() is called, it will use the mocked response
        $products = Product::all();
        
        $this->assertCount(2, $products);
        $this->assertEquals('Product 1', $products[0]->name);
    }
    
    public function testCreateProduct()
    {
        // Mock a response for POST /products
        $this->mockApiResponse('POST', 'products', [
            'id' => 3,
            'name' => 'New Product',
            'price' => 199.99
        ]);
        
        $product = Product::create([
            'name' => 'New Product',
            'price' => 199.99
        ]);
        
        $this->assertEquals(3, $product->id);
        $this->assertEquals('New Product', $product->name);
    }
}

Performance Optimization

Tips for optimizing performance:

// Eager load relationships to reduce API calls
$products = Product::with('category', 'reviews')->get();

// Select only the fields you need
$products = Product::select(['id', 'name', 'price'])->get();

// Use pagination for large datasets
$products = Product::paginate(20);

// Use caching effectively
$products = Product::withCacheTtl(3600)->get(); // Cache for 1 hour

// Batch operations when possible
$products = Product::whereIn('id', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])->get();

// Use custom endpoints for specific operations
$featuredProducts = Product::withEndpoint('products/featured')->get();

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

API Connection Issues

// Enable debug mode to see detailed request/response information
config(['api-model-relations.debug' => true]);

// Check the last request and response
$lastRequest = ApiClient::getLastRequest();
$lastResponse = ApiClient::getLastResponse();

// Log all API requests and responses
Event::listen(ApiRequestEvent::class, function ($event) {
    logger()->debug('API Request', [
        'method' => $event->method,
        'endpoint' => $event->endpoint,
        'options' => $event->options
    ]);
});

Event::listen(ApiResponseEvent::class, function ($event) {
    logger()->debug('API Response', [
        'status' => $event->statusCode,
        'body' => (string) $event->response->getBody()
    ]);
});

Caching Issues

// Clear all cache
\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache::store(config('api-model-relations.cache.store'))->flush();

// Disable caching temporarily
config(['api-model-relations.cache.enabled' => false]);

// Debug cache keys
logger()->debug('Cache key: ' . Product::where('id', 1)->getCacheKey());
