Laravel API Response is a package that helps to provide and render a consistent HTTP JSON responses to API calls as well as converting and formatting exceptions to JSON responses.

Version Compatibility
---------------------

[](#version-compatibility)

LaravelLaravel API Response9.x1.x10.x2.xInstallation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require kennedy-osaze/laravel-api-response
```

You can publish the translation files using:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="api-response-translations"
```

This will create a vendor folder (if it doesn't exists) in the `lang` folder of your project and inside, a `api-response/en` folder that has two files: `errors.php` and `success.php`. Both files are used for the translation of message strings in the JSON response sent out.

Optionally, you can publish the config file using:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="api-response-config"
```

### Using Package Traits

[](#using-package-traits)

This package provides two traits that can be imported into your projects; namely:

- The `\KennedyOsaze\LaravelApiResponse\Concerns\RendersApiResponse` trait which can be imported into your (base) controller class, middleware class or even your exception handler class
- The `\KennedyOsaze\LaravelApiResponse\Concerns\ConvertsExceptionToApiResponse` trait which should only be imported into your exception handler class.

So we can have on the base controller class (from which all other controller may extend from):

```
