Basic usages

Creating object

use TanSandbox\JsonRest\Builder;
$builder = new Builder() ;

Returning a success response

$data = array (
    'name' => 'Nithin',
    'subject' => 'English',
    'mark' => '90'
);
$builder->ok()->send($data) ;

Will produce

{
    "status": true,
    "data": {
        "name": "Nithin",
        "subject": "English",
        "mark": "90"
    }
}

Return a failure

$data = array(
    'name' => 'Please provide a valid name'
);
$builder->fail()->send($data) ;

Will produce

{
    "status": false,
    "data": {
        "name": "Please provide a valid name"
    }
}

Response with custom http status

$data = array(
    'reply' => 'Resource not found.'
);
$builder->setStatus(404)->send($data) ;

Will produce

{
    "status": false,
    "data": {
        "reply": "Resource not found."
    }
}

Advanced response

$data = array (
    'name' => 'Nithin',
    'subject' => 'English',
    'mark' => '90'
);
$builder->setMessage('Action completed')->setStatus(200)->send($data) ;

Will produce

{
    "status": false,
    "data": {
        "name": "Nithin",
        "subject": "English",
        "mark": "90"
    },
    "message": "Action completed"
}

Method chaining.

New json member can be added using the setXXX methods. The sendie() method is to output the reponse and to die after that.

$builder->setName('Nithin')
    ->setSubject('English')
    ->setMark('90')
    ->setCustomNotes('Student of ZF2')
    ->sendie() ;

Will produce

{
    "status": true,
    "message": "Action completed",
    "name": "Nithin",
    "subject": "English",
    "mark": "90",
    "customNotes": "Student of ZF2"
}
