README

A simple helper package for Laravel that helps you standardize your HTTP responses.

The helper includes multiple functions that returns a Json Response. Each function is already defined with the correct HTTP Status code.

Simply add this package to your Laravel project by running:

composer require coenond/lrvl-rspns

Example Usage

The helper methodes can be used in controllers. For example in the User controller:

/**
 * get user by id.
 */
public function get($id)
{
    try {
        $user = User::findOrFail($id);
        return rspns_ok($user);
    } catch(ModelNotFoundException $e) {
        return rspns_not_found($id, $e->getMessage());
    }
}

/**
 * Do not create users like this in your system :)
 */
public function create(Request $request)
{
    $email = $request->input('email');
    $password = $request->input('password');

    if (User::whereEmail($email)->exists()) {
        return rspns_bad_request($request->all(), "User already exists");
    }
    
    $user = User::create(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password]);

    return rspns_created($user);
}

Success Responses

The 2xx (success) responses are defined with the status success and has an optional data object.

Error Responses

The 4xx and 5xx responses are defined with the status success and has an optional data object and message parameter.

NOTE: Unfortunately, PHP doesn't support named parameters, so if you want to return an error message without data is should be return like: return rspns_bad_request(null, 'some messsage here');

Contribution is always welcome :)

I developed this package as a 'scratch my own itch' solution. Feel free to open a Pull Request for message me for any suggestions.
