 [![API usage sample](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14129843/110307757-2108d580-7fb4-11eb-9443-79ef14a12dd7.png)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14129843/110307757-2108d580-7fb4-11eb-9443-79ef14a12dd7.png)

✨ Features
----------

[](#-features)

- `ApiResponse` Middleware to set the `Accept: application/json` header to your api routes and also throw exceptions as JSON.
- A list of macros that extend the Laravel's Response class, that can be easily used like `response()->success(...)`
- `_ide_helper_macros.php` file generated to improve your IDE's code completion

1️⃣ Installation
----------------

[](#1️⃣-installation)

- You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require igorsgm/laravel-api-responses
```

- Publishing the config and IDE Helper files:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Igorsgm\LaravelApiResponses\LaravelApiResponsesServiceProvider"
```

2️⃣ Usage
---------

[](#2️⃣-usage)

First, register the `ApiResponse` at the top of your api middleware group, inside `app/Http/Kernel.php`.

```
class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
    protected $middlewareGroups = [
        // ...
        'api' => [
            \Igorsgm\LaravelApiResponses\Http\Middleware\ApiResponse::class,
            // ...
        ],
    ];

    // ...
}
```

Now simply start using one of the available response functions to always return a normalized API data inside your controllers.

```
response()->success($data, $message) // ($data = [], $message = '', $status = 200, $headers = [])
response()->successMessage($message) // ($message = '', $status = 200, $headers = [])
response()->error($errors) // ($errors = [], $message = '', $status = 500, $headers = [])
response()->errorMessage($message) // ($message = '', $status = 500, $headers = [])
response()->exceptionError($exception) // ($exception, $message = '', $status = 0, $headers = [])
```
