[](#render-output-based-on-content-type)

[![Build status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b48f7fde6729885d58971b03d324b7647a54d4b0cfb73c58a8b6d96dea5864e8/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f616b72616261742f726b612d636f6e74656e742d747970652d72656e64657265722e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/akrabat/rka-content-type-renderer)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require akrabat/rka-content-type-renderer`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
// given:
// $request instanceof Psr\Http\Message\RequestInterface
// $response instanceof Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface

$data = [
    'items' => [
        [
            'name' => 'Alex',
            'is_admin' => true,
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Robin',
            'is_admin' => false,
        ],
    ],
];
$renderer = new RKA\ContentTypeRenderer\Renderer();
$response  = $renderer->render($request, $response, $data);
return $response->withStatus(200);
```

The constructor takes a parameter, `$pretty` that defaults to `true`. Set to `false` to disable pretty printing.

HalRenderer
-----------

[](#halrenderer)

This component also supports [nocarrier/hal](https://github.com/blongden/hal) objects with the `HalRenderer`:

```
$hal = new Nocarrier\Hal(
    '/foo',
    [
        'items' => [
            [
                'name' => 'Alex',
                'is_admin' => true,
            ],
            [
                'name' => 'Robin',
                'is_admin' => false,
            ],
        ],
    ]
);
$renderer = new RKA\ContentTypeRenderer\HalRenderer();
$response  = $renderer->render($request, $response, $hal);
return $response->withStatus(200);
```

ApiRenderer
-----------

[](#apirenderer)

This component also supports [crell/ApiProblem](https://github.com/Crell/ApiProblem) objects with the `ApiProblemRenderer`:

```
$problem = new Crell\ApiProblem("Something unexpected happened");
$renderer = new RKA\ContentTypeRenderer\ApiProblemRenderer();
$response  = $renderer->render($request, $response, $problem);
return $response->withStatus(500);
```

Arrays of objects
-----------------

[](#arrays-of-objects)

If you have an array of objects, then the renderer will still work as long as the objects implement PHP's JsonSerializable interface.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

- Code style: `$ phpcs`
- Unit tests: `$ phpunit`
- Code coverage: `$ phpunit --coverage-html ./build`
