Athenaeum Http Api

Opinionated utilities to help shape and format your API, using Laravel's API Resources.

Example

The following example shows an "API Resource", for an Eloquent User model.

use Aedart\Http\Api\Resources\ApiResource;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class UserResource extends ApiResource
{
    public function formatPayload(Request $request): array
    {
        return $this->withTimestamps([
            'id' => $this->getResourceKey(),
            'name' => $this->name,
            'roles' => $this->belongsToManyReference('roles')
                ->withLabel('name')
                ->withSelfLink()
                ->withResourceType();
        ]);
    }

    public function type(): string
    {
        return 'user';
    }
}

When a response is returned for a single user, the following JSON will be output:

{
    "data": {
        "id": 34,
        "name": "Retta Altenwerth Jr.",
        "created_at": "2022-10-21T14:51:43+00:00",
        "updated_at": "2022-10-21T14:51:43+00:00",
        "roles": [
            {
                "id": 23,
                "name": "Machine Operator",
                "type": "role",
                "self": "http://localhost/roles/23"
            },
            {
                "id": 56,
                "name": "File Clerk",
                "type": "role",
                "self": "http://localhost/roles/56"
            }
        ]
    },
    "meta": {
        "type": "user",
        "self": "http://localhost/users/34"
    }
}
