  "message": "your message here",
  "data": {
    "myData": "your data here..."
  },
  "errors": [
    "laravel", "automatically", "send", "exceptions", "here..."
  ]
}

Usage

Methods

• APIResponse::message()
• APIResponse::data()
• APIResponse::statusCode()
• APIResponse::error()
• Send Shortcut
  • APIResponse::sendMessage()
  • APIResponse::sendData()
  • APIResponse::sendStatusCode()
  • APIResponse::sendError()

Add Message | APIResponse::message(string $message)

  use Anhzf\LaravelRestAPI\APIResponse;
  
  // end of some controller
  return APIResponse::message('[your message here]')->send();

Add Data | APIResponse::data(array $data)

  use Anhzf\LaravelRestAPI\APIResponse;
  
  $myData = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];
  // end of some controller
  return APIResponse::data(compact('myData'))->send();

Set HTTP Status Code | APIResponse::statusCode(int $statusCode)

  use Anhzf\LaravelRestAPI\APIResponse;
  
  // end of some controller
  return APIResponse::statusCode(404)
        ->message('Didn\'t find matched user!')
        ->send();

Send Error Response | APIResponse::error()

It will send response without success key in your Json Response

  use Anhzf\LaravelRestAPI\APIResponse;
  
  // end of some controller
  return APIResponse::error()
      ->statusCode(422)
      ->message('email field is required!')
      ->send();

Send Response Shortcut

By adding Send verb in above listed method, it will be send response like using send()

  use Anhzf\LaravelRestAPI;
  
  class APIResponse {
    public static sendMessage(string $message);
    public static sendData(array $data);
    public static sendStatusCode(int $statusCode, bool $success = true);
    public static sendError(string $message = null, int $statusCode = JsonResponse::HTTP_BAD_REQUEST);
  }

Example

  use Anhzf\LaravelRestAPI\APIResponse;
  
  return APIResponse::message('Fetched users data from database')
      ->sendData(compact('userData'));
