## About
Package `codebot/laravel-response-builder` is a simple package for Laravel framework to standardize the structure of JSON responses.

You will find this package helpful if you need your responses to look like this:

```json
{
"status": true,
"message": "You got that!",
"data" : {
"name": "James Joesph Bulger",
"profession": "criminal"
},
"errors": []
}
```

or

```json
{
"status": false,
"message": "Something went wrong...",
"data" : [],
"errors": {
"email": [
"The email field is required."
]
}
}
```

## Installation
```
composer require codebot/laravel-response-builder:^1
```

**For Laravel 5.4 and versions below add `\Rb\Core\RbServiceProvider::class` to providers in config/app.php file.**

Next run the command below in your console:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-response-builder
```

## Requests

Once you published vendor, you should see `App\Http\Requests\Rb\RbRequest class`. This will be base class for
laravel-response-builder's requests.
To generate a request that extends RbRequest, run:

```
php artisan make:rbrequest YourNewRequest
```

If you are using Laravel's Validator class, you can use `Rb\Core\RbValidator` to standardize the structure of failed response.

```php
use \Rb\Core\RbValidator;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

$validator = new Validator($data, $rules); // assuming you have a $validator instance

RbValidator::validate($validator); // throws HttpResponseException or returns boolean true
```

RbValidator::validate() method checks if the validation fails and throws Illuminate\Http\Exceptions\HttpResponseException with the standardized json response structure.

### Usage
```php
use \Rb\Core\Response;
use \Rb\Core\HttpStatusCode;

$response = new Response();

$response->setStatusCode(HttpStatusCode::OK); // required. If code is 2XX then Response::status field will be "true", otherwise "false"

$response->setMessage('Some inspiring message.'); // null will be returned if no message set

$response->setData($data); // null will be returned if no data set

$response->setErrors($errors); // null will be returned if no error set

$response->getArray(); // will return an array of data set

$response->getResponse(); // will return a json response using Laravel's response() helper
```

All setters are fluent, so example above could be written like:
```php
use \Rb\Core\Response;
use \Rb\Core\HttpStatusCode;

$response = new Response();

$response->setStatusCode(HttpStatusCode::OK)
->setMessage('Some inspiring message.');
// ...
```

Package contains HttpStatusCode class with http status codes defined.

```php
use \Rb\Core\HttpStatusCode;

HttpStatusCode::OK; // returns status code 200 (integer)

HttpStatusCode::getMessageByCode(HttpStatusCode::NOT_FOUND); // returns string "Not Found"

HttpStatusCode::getCodeWithMessage(HttpStatusCode::CREATED); // returns string - code and message, e.g. "201 Created"
```

#### The Facade

The package contains a facade class in case if you don't want to interact with all of these setters.

```php
use \Rb\Facade\Response;
use \Rb\Core\HttpStatusCode;

return Response::success(
data: $data,
message: 'Created List of users.'
);

return Response::error(
errors: $errors,
message: 'Invalid input.',
statusCode: HttpStatusCode::UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY
);

// Without $data (the $errors parameter is also optional)
return Response::success(message: 'User deleted.');
```

`$data` and `$errors` variables are arrays and are optional.

## Configuration
