Laravel Fractal
===============

[](#laravel-fractal)

A Laravel Service Provider for [League/Fractal](http://fractal.thephpleague.com).

---

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

[](#installation)

Add laravel-fractal to your composer.json file:

```
"require": {
    "gathercontent/laravel-fractal": "~1.0"
}
```

Get composer to install the package:

```
$ composer require gathercontent/laravel-fractal

```

### Registering the Package

[](#registering-the-package)

Register the service provider within the `providers` array found in `app/config/app.php`:

```
'providers' => array(
    // ...
    GatherContent\LaravelFractal\LaravelFractalServiceProvider::class
)
```

Add an alias within the `aliases` array found in `app/config/app.php`:

```
'aliases' => array(
    // ...
    'Fractal' => GatherContent\LaravelFractal\LaravelFractalFacade::class,
)
```

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

To override the default configuration, you can publish the config files to your application. Artisan can do this automatically for you via the command line:

```
$ php artisan vendor:publish
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Basic Example

[](#basic-example)

Formatting a single item:

```
// routes.php
Route::get('/me', array('before' => 'auth', function () {
    return Fractal::item(Auth::user(), new UserTransformer);
}));
```

Formatting a collection:

```
// routes.php
Route::get('/comments', function () {
    return Fractal::collection(Comment::all(), new CommentTransformer);
});
```

Adding meta data:

```
// routes.php
Route::get('/comments', function () {
    return Fractal::collection(Comment::all(), new CommentTransformer, function ($resources) {
        $resources->setMetaValue('foo', 'bar');
    });
});
```

Returning a paginated collection:

```
// routes.php
Route::get('/comments', function () {
    return Fractal::collection(Comment::paginate(), new CommentTransformer);
});
```

Using a custom pagination adapter:

```
// routes.php
Route::get('/comments', function () {
    $comments = Comment::paginate();
    $adapter = new MyIlluminatePaginationAdapter($comments);
    return Fractal::collection($comments, new CommentTransformer, null, $adapter);
});
```
