## 1. Installation

Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) to install the package:

```json
$ composer require nilportugues/hal
```

## 2. Mapping

Given a PHP Object, and a series of mappings, the HAL+JSON and HAL+XML API transformer will represent the given data following the `https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kelly-json-hal-07` specification draft.

For instance, given the following piece of code, defining a Blog Post and some comments:

```php
$post = new Post(
new PostId(9),
'Hello World',
'Your first post',
new User(
new UserId(1),
'Post Author'
),
[
new Comment(
new CommentId(1000),
'Have no fear, sers, your king is safe.',
new User(new UserId(2), 'Barristan Selmy'),
[
'created_at' => (new DateTime('2015/07/18 12:13:00'))->format('c'),
'accepted_at' => (new DateTime('2015/07/19 00:00:00'))->format('c'),
]
),
]
);
```

We will have to map all the involved classes. This can be done as one single array, or a series of Mapping classes.

### 2.1 Mapping with arrays

Mapping involved classes using arrays is done as follows:

```php
use NilPortugues\Api\Mapping\Mapper;

$mappings = [
[
'class' => Post::class,
'alias' => 'Message',
'aliased_properties' => [
'author' => 'author',
'title' => 'headline',
'content' => 'body',
],
'hide_properties' => [

],
'id_properties' => [
'postId',
],
'urls' => [
// Mandatory
'self' => 'http://example.com/posts/{postId}',
// Optional
'comments' => 'http://example.com/posts/{postId}/comments'
],
'curies' => [
'name' => 'example',
'href' => "http://example.com/docs/rels/{rel}",
]
],
[
'class' => User::class,
'alias' => '',
'aliased_properties' => [],
'hide_properties' => [],
'id_properties' => [
'userId',
],
'urls' => [
'self' => 'http://example.com/users/{userId}',
],
'curies' => [
'name' => 'example',
'href' => "http://example.com/docs/rels/{rel}",
]
],
[
'class' => Comment::class,
'alias' => '',
'aliased_properties' => [],
'hide_properties' => [],
'id_properties' => [
'commentId',
],
'urls' => [
'self' => 'http://example.com/comments/{commentId}',
],
'curies' => [
'name' => 'example',
'href' => "http://example.com/docs/rels/{rel}",
]
]
];

$mapper = new Mapper($mappings);
```

### 2.2 Mapping with Mapping class

In order to map with Mapping class, you need to create a new class for each involved class.

This mapping fashion scales way better than using an array.

All Mapping classes will extend the `\NilPortugues\Api\Mappings\HalMapping` interface.

```php

// PostMapping.php

class PostMapping implements \NilPortugues\Api\Mappings\HalMapping
{
public function getClass()
{
return Post::class;
}

public function getAlias()
{
return 'Message';
}

public function getAliasedProperties()
{
return [
'author' => 'author',
'title' => 'headline',
'content' => 'body',
];
}

public function getHideProperties()
{
return [];
}

public function getIdProperties()
{
return ['postId'];
}

public function getUrls()
{
return [
'self' => 'http://example.com/posts/{postId}', // Mandatory
'comments' => 'http://example.com/posts/{postId}/comments' // Optional
];
}

public function getCuries()
{
return [
'name' => 'example',
'href' => "http://example.com/docs/rels/{rel}",
];
}
}

// UserMapping.php

class UserMapping implements \NilPortugues\Api\Mappings\HalMapping
{
public function getClass()
{
return User::class;
}

public function getAlias()
{
return '';
}

public function getAliasedProperties()
{
return [];
}

public function getHideProperties()
{
return [];
}

public function getIdProperties()
{
return ['postId'];
}

public function getUrls()
{
return [
'self' => 'http://example.com/users/{userId}'
];
}

public function getCuries()
{
return [
'name' => 'example',
'href' => "http://example.com/docs/rels/{rel}",
];
}
}

// CommentMapping.php

class CommentMapping implements \NilPortugues\Api\Mappings\HalMapping
{
public function getClass()
{
return Comment::class;
}

public function getAlias()
{
return '';
}

public function getAliasedProperties()
{
return [];
}

public function getHideProperties()
{
return [];
}

public function getIdProperties()
{
return ['commentId'];
}

public function getUrls()
{
return [
'self' => 'http://example.com/comments/{commentId}',
];
}

public function getCuries()
{
return [
'name' => 'example',
'href' => "http://example.com/docs/rels/{rel}",
];
}
}

$mappings = [
PostMapping::class,
UserMapping::class,
CommentMapping::class,
];
$mapper = new Mapper($mappings);

```

## 3. HAL Serialization

Calling the transformer will output a **valid HAL response** using the correct formatting:

```php
use NilPortugues\Api\Hal\JsonTransformer;
use NilPortugues\Api\Hal\HalSerializer;
use NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\Response;

$transformer = new JsonTransformer($mapper);
//For XML: $transformer = new XmlTransformer($mapper);

//Output transformation
$serializer = new HalSerializer($transformer);
$output = $serializer->serialize($post);

//PSR7 Response with headers and content.
$response = new Response($output);

header(
sprintf(
'HTTP/%s %s %s',
$response->getProtocolVersion(),
$response->getStatusCode(),
$response->getReasonPhrase()
)
);

foreach($response->getHeaders() as $header => $values) {
header(sprintf("%s:%s\n", $header, implode(', ', $values)));
}

echo $response->getBody();
```

### 3.1 HAL+JSON

```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate
Content-type: application/hal+json
```
Output:
```json
{
"post_id": 9,
"headline": "Hello World",
"body": "Your first post",
"_embedded": {
"author": {
"user_id": 1,
"name": "Post Author",
"_links": {
"self": {
"href": "http://example.com/users/1"
},
"example:friends": {
"href": "http://example.com/users/1/friends"
},
"example:comments": {
"href": "http://example.com/users/1/comments"
}
}
},
"comments": [
{
"comment_id": 1000,
"dates": {
"created_at": "2015-08-13T22:47:45+02:00",
"accepted_at": "2015-08-13T23:22:45+02:00"
},
"comment": "Have no fear, sers, your king is safe.",
"_embedded": {
"user": {
"user_id": 2,
"name": "Barristan Selmy",
"_links": {
"self": {
"href": "http://example.com/users/2"
},
"example:friends": {
"href": "http://example.com/users/2/friends"
},
"example:comments": {
"href": "http://example.com/users/2/comments"
}
}
}
},
"_links": {
"example:user": {
"href": "http://example.com/users/2"
},
"self": {
"href": "http://example.com/comments/1000"
}
}
}
]
},
"_links": {
"curies": [
{
"name": "example",
"href": "http://example.com/docs/rels/{rel}",
"templated": true
}
],
"self": {
"href": "http://example.com/posts/9"
},
"example:author": {
"href": "http://example.com/users/1"
},
"example:comments": {
"href": "http://example.com/posts/9/comments"
}
}
}
```

### 3.2 HAL+XML

For XML output use the sample code but using the XML transformer instead:

```
$transformer = new XmlTransformer($mapper);
```

Output:

```
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private, max-age=0, must-revalidate
Content-type: application/hal+xml
```

```xml


















































```

## 4. HAL Paginated Resource

A pagination object to easy the usage of this package is provided.

For both XML and JSON output, use the `HalPagination` object to build your paginated representation of the current resource.

Methods provided by `HalPagination` are as follows:

- `setSelf($self)`
- `setFirst($first)`
- `setPrev($prev)`
- `setNext($next)`
- `setLast($last)`
- `setCount($count)`
- `setTotal($total)`
- `setEmbedded(array $embedded)`

In order to use it, create a new HalPagination instance, use the setters and pass the instance to the `serialize($value)` method of the serializer.

Everything else will be handled by serializer itself. Easy as that!

```php
use NilPortugues\Api\Hal\HalPagination;
use NilPortugues\Api\Hal\HalSerializer;
use NilPortugues\Api\Hal\JsonTransformer;

// ...
//$objects is an array of objects, such as Post::class.
// ...

$page = new HalPagination();

//set the amounts
$page->setTotal(20);
$page->setCount(10);

//set the objects
$page->setEmbedded($objects);

//set up the pagination links
$page->setSelf('/post?page=1');
$page->setPrev('/post?page=1');
$page->setFirst('/post?page=1');
$page->setLast('/post?page=1');

$output = $serializer->serialize($page);

```

## 5. Response objects

The following PSR-7 Response objects providing the right headers and HTTP status codes are available.

Its use is optional and are provided as a starting point.

- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\ErrorResponse($body)`
- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\ResourceCreatedResponse($body)`
- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\ResourceDeletedResponse($body)`
- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\ResourceNotFoundResponse($body)`
- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\ResourcePatchErrorResponse($body)`
- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\ResourcePostErrorResponse($body)`
- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\ResourceProcessingResponse($body)`
- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\ResourceUpdatedResponse($body)`
- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\Response($body)`
- `NilPortugues\Api\Hal\Http\Message\UnsupportedActionResponse($body)`
