[](#laravel-4-controller--)

Installation: `composer require anlutro/l4-controller`

Pick the latest stable version from packagist or the GitHub tag list.

WARNING: Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed during version 0.x.

### Controller

[](#controller)

`protected function url($action, $params = array())`

This is a shorthand for `URL::action` with a twist - if no controller is given, it defaults to the current controller. For example, if you call `url('index')` from `MyController`, it will return `URL::action('MyController@index')`.

`protected function redirect($action, $params = array())`

Same as above, but for redirects.

### API Controller

[](#api-controller)

Provides some standardized responses when there's no real data to return.

`protected function success($messages = null)`

Returns a generic 200 response with optional messages.

`protected function error($errors)`

Returns a generic 400 response with the errors given. Will work with validators, message bags and arrays.

`protected function notFound($messages = null)`

Returns a generic 404 response with optional messages.
