**Laravel Shovel** is a minimalist package providing Laravel response macros to assist in rapid API development by transforming models, resources, collections, paginated objects and errors into a concise API response format. DRY.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

Install the package via composer.

```
composer require cloudcake/laravel-shovel

```

Transform `Post::paginate();` into

```
{
  "meta": {
    "status": "success",
    "message": "OK",
    "code": 200,
    "pagination": {
      "records": 42312,
      "page": 1,
      "pages": 2821,
      "limit": 15
    }
  },
  "data": [{...},{...},{...}]
}

```

Using regular methods, `response(Post::paginate());` or `response(Resource::collection(Post::paginate())`.

See [documentation](https://cloudcake.github.io/laravel-shovel/#/) for more information.
