README

HATEOAS-compatible Restful Resource descriptions, with formatters to represent the resources in json- or xml format.

Installation

Install with composer require stratadox/rest-resource

Example (json)

Resources formatted as json output:

<?php

use Stratadox\RestResource\BasicResource;
use Stratadox\RestResource\DefaultJsonFormatter;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Link;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Links;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Type;

$json = DefaultJsonFormatter::fromBaseUri('https://a.server.somewhere/');

$resource = new BasicResource(
    'hateoas-resource',
    ['foo' => 'bar'],
    Links::provide(
        Link::to('foo/1', Type::get('Foo'))
    )
);

$this->assertJsonStringEqualsJsonString(
    '{
        "hateoas-resource": {
            "foo": "bar",
            "links": [
                {
                    "href": "server\/foo\/1",
                    "rel": "Foo",
                    "type": "GET"
                }
            ]
        }
    }',
    $json->from($resource)
);

Example (xml)

The same resource, now formatted as xml output:

<?php

use Stratadox\RestResource\BasicResource;
use Stratadox\RestResource\DefaultXmlFormatter;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Link;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Links;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Type;

$xml = DefaultXmlFormatter::fromBaseUri('https://a.server.somewhere/');

$resource = new BasicResource(
    'hateoas-resource',
    ['foo' => 'bar'],
    Links::provide(
        Link::to('foo/1', Type::get('Foo'))
    )
);

$this->assertXmlStringEqualsXmlString(
    '<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <hateoas-resource>
      <foo>bar</foo>
      <links>
        <link>
          <href>server/foo/1</href>
          <rel>Foo</rel>
          <type>GET</type>
        </link>
      </links>
    </hateoas-resource>',
    $xml->from($resource)
);

Example (condensed xml)

The same resource again, now formatted as xml with less verbosity:

<?php

use Stratadox\RestResource\BasicResource;
use Stratadox\RestResource\CondensedXmlFormatter;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Link;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Links;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Type;

$xml = CondensedXmlFormatter::fromBaseUri('https://a.server.somewhere/');

$resource = new BasicResource(
    'hateoas-resource',
    ['foo' => 'bar'],
    Links::provide(
        Link::to('foo/1', Type::get('Foo'))
    )
);

$this->assertXmlStringEqualsXmlString(
    '<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <hateoas-resource foo="bar">
      <links>
        <link href="server/foo/1" rel="Foo" type="GET" />
      </links>
    </hateoas-resource>',
    $xml->from($resource)
);

Singularisation

Formatting an xml document based on just an array structure is slightly more challenging than converting to json.

For example, given the input:

[
    'people' => [
        [
            'id' => 1,
            'name' => 'Alice',
        ],
        [
            'id' => 2,
            'name' => 'Bob',
        ],
    ]
];

In json, one might have output like this:

{
  "people": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "name": "Alice"
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "name": "Bob"
    }
  ]
}

However, we'd expect from xml something in the genre of:

<people>
    <person>
        <id>1</id>
        <name>Alice</name>
    </person>
    <person>
        <id>2</id>
        <name>Bob</name>
    </person>
</people>

Or

<people>
    <person id="1" name="Alice" />
    <person id="2" name="Bob" />
</people>

By default, the xml formatter uses inflection to transform plurals into singular versions. As such, the aforementioned php array structure would indeed produce the expected xml. Any language supported by the inflector can be used, for example:

<?php

use Stratadox\RestResource\BasicResource;
use Stratadox\RestResource\DefaultXmlFormatter;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Links;

$xml = DefaultXmlFormatter::in('fr', '/');

$resource = new BasicResource(
    'resource-travaux',
    ['travaux' => ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']],
    Links::none()
);

$this->assertXmlStringEqualsXmlString(
    '<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <resource-travaux>
        <travaux>
            <travail>foo</travail>
            <travail>bar</travail>
            <travail>baz</travail>
        </travaux>
    </resource-travaux>',
    $xml->from($resource)
);

Any singularizer can be used. If you don't wish to run the risk of using terms that cannot be transformed into singular versions, the basic singularizer might be an option, although it would produce xml like the following example:

<?php

use Stratadox\RestResource\BasicResource;
use Stratadox\RestResource\BasicSingularizer;
use Stratadox\RestResource\DefaultXmlFormatter;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Links;

$xml = DefaultXmlFormatter::withSingularizer('/', new BasicSingularizer());

$resource = new BasicResource(
    'people-resource',
    ['people' => [
        ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Alice'],
        ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Bob'],
    ]],
    Links::none()
);

$this->assertXmlStringEqualsXmlString(
    '<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <people-resource>
        <people>
            <item>
                <id>1</id>
                <name>Alice</name>
            </item>
            <item>
                <id>2</id>
                <name>Bob</name>
            </item>
        </people>
    </people-resource>',
    $xml->from($resource)
);

Or, with less verbosity:

<?php

use Stratadox\RestResource\BasicResource;
use Stratadox\RestResource\BasicSingularizer;
use Stratadox\RestResource\CondensedXmlFormatter;
use Stratadox\RestResource\Links;

$xml = CondensedXmlFormatter::withSingularizer('/', new BasicSingularizer());

$resource = new BasicResource(
    'people-resource',
    ['people' => [
        ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'Alice'],
        ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Bob'],
    ]],
    Links::none()
);

$this->assertXmlStringEqualsXmlString(
    '<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <people-resource>
        <people>
            <item id="1" name="Alice" />
            <item id="2" name="Bob" />
        </people>
    </people-resource>',
    $xml->from($resource)
);
