About
=====
This package was created to extend the **Laravel Framework** response system, and elevate him to the standard described on the [**{json:api}**](http://jsonapi.org) website[^jsonapi].

The answers besides creating a more friendly and readable formatting also contemplate the control of the Headers according to the last code.

----------

Installation
=====
Use composer do install our package:

```bash
composer require ftd/default-api-response
```

And call the provider inside your Laravel **/config/app.php** file:

```php
'providers' => [
...
/*
* FTD Default API Response
*/
FTD\DefaultAPIResponse\DefaultAPIResponseServiceProvider::class,
],
```

Now it's done and we're ready to go!

----------

How to use
=====

**FTD API Response** give us 5 new methods:

1. success
2. paginate
3. error
4. custom
5. defaultStatusCode

Every method has a particular way to use, but always easy.

**The success method**
----------------------

This method will throw a header status code **200** and put your content inside a **data** wrapper:

**Example:**
```php
public function index()
{
return response()->success(App\User::all());
}
```

**Result:**
```json
{
"data": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Rodolfo",
"email": "[email protected]",
"created_at": null,
"updated_at": null
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Shirley",
"email": "[email protected]",
"created_at": "2017-06-16 01:02:03",
"updated_at": null
}
]
}
```

**Example:**
```php
public function show(User $user)
{
return response()->success($user);
}
```

**Result:**
```json
{
"data": {
"id": 1,
"name": "Rodolfo",
"email": "[email protected]",
"created_at": null,
"updated_at": null
}
}
```

**The paginate method**
----------------------
This method will throw a header status code **200** and put your content inside a **data** wrapper, and create another wrapper called **meta**, for the pagination properties:

**Example:**
```php
public function index()
{
$users = App\User::paginate(2);
return response()->paginate($users);
}
```

**Result:**
```json
{
"meta": {
"pagination": {
"current_page": 2,
"from": 3,
"last_page": 3,
"next_page_url": "http://ftdapi.com/api?page=3",
"path": "http://ftdapi.com/api",
"per_page": 2,
"prev_page_url": "http://ftdapi.com/api?page=1",
"to": 4,
"total": 6
}
},
"data": [
{
"id": 3,
"name": "Marley",
"email": "[email protected]",
"created_at": "2017-06-15 00:00:01",
"updated_at": null
},
{
"id": 4,
"name": "Steve",
"email": "[email protected]",
"created_at": "2017-06-16 01:02:03",
"updated_at": null
}
]
}
```

**The error method**
----------------------
This method will throw a header status code **400** and put your content inside a **errors** wrapper:

**Example:**
```php
//User Custom Request
public function rules()
{
return [
'name' => 'required|string|max:255',
'username' => 'required|unique:users|string|max:255',
'password' => 'required|string|max:255'
];
}

...

public function response(array $errors)
{
return response()->error($errors);
}
```

**Result:**
```json
{
"errors": [
"Name must be provided.",
"Username must be provided.",
"Password must be provided."
]
}
```

**Advanced use for the success, paginate and error methods**
----------------------

If you need change the default status code of this methods, you can give a second parameter, like:

```php
...
return response()->success($data, 201);

...
return response()->paginate($data, 206);

...
return response()->error($data, 401);

```

**The custom method**
----------------------
This method is used for who need more control of the entire response:

- The default **content** is **null**
- The default **header status code** is **200**
- The default **extra headers** is **null**
- The default **header content type** is **'application/json'**

**Example:**
```php
public function myCustomMethod()
{
return response()->custom(
$content = [
"Name" => "Rodolfo",
"Age"=>13
],
$status = 200,
$headers = ["X-USER-INFO" => TRUE],
$headerContentType = 'application/json'
);
}
```

**Result:**
In your header you will see the:

```bash
"X-USER-INFO" : true
```

or

```bash
"X-USER-INFO" : 1
```

Depends on which browser you are using.

And, finally, the response body will receive the contents, but **without** the default **data** wrapper:
```json
{
"Name": "Rodolfo",
"Age": 13
}
```

If you need to force download of a PDF file, for example, this method is the right way to do it.

**The defaultStatusCode method**
----------------------

This method will throw a header status code and depends on which code, put default message content inside a **data** or **errors** wrapper:

**Example:**
```php
public function store()
{
return response()->defaultStatusCode(400);
}
```

**Result:**
```json
{
"errors": [
"Bad Request"
]
}
```
