Laravel API Response Standardizer
=================================

[](#laravel-api-response-standardizer)

A professional, production-ready Laravel package to standardize your API JSON responses. Developed by **Maksudur Rahman**.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **PSR-4 Compliant**: Clean, object-oriented structure.
- **Multiple Usage Patterns**: Use Facades, Traits, or Global Helpers.
- **Fully Configurable**: Customize response keys (status, message, data, etc.) to match your needs, including `status_code`/`status_message`.
- **Standardized Pagination**: Automatic formatting for Laravel's Paginator.
- **Zero Configuration**: Works out of the box, but highly customizable.
- **Compatible**: Supports Laravel 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require maksudur-dev/laravel-api-response
```

### Configuration (Optional)

[](#configuration-optional)

If you want to customize the response keys, publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Maksudur\ApiResponse\ApiResponseServiceProvider" --tag="config"
```

This will create a `config/api-response.php` file where you can change the keys:

```
'keys' => [
    'status' => 'status', // e.g., change 'status' to 'status_code'
    'message' => 'message', // e.g., change 'message' to 'status_message'
    'data' => 'data',
    'errors' => 'errors',
    'pagination' => 'pagination',
],
```

For example, you can customize your response fields to use `status_code` and `status_message` instead of the default `status` and `message` keys.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### 1. Using Facade (Recommended)

[](#1-using-facade-recommended)

```
use ApiResponse;

return ApiResponse::success($data, 'User created', 201);
return ApiResponse::error('Invalid credentials.', null, 400);
return ApiResponse::paginate($users, 'Success', 200);
```

### 2. Using Trait (Best for Controllers)

[](#2-using-trait-best-for-controllers)

Add the `HasApiResponse` trait to your controller:

```
use Maksudur\ApiResponse\Traits\HasApiResponse;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    use HasApiResponse;

    public function index()
    {
        $users = User::paginate(10);
        return $this->apiPaginate($users);
    }
}
```

### 3. Using Global Helpers

[](#3-using-global-helpers)

```
return api_success($data);
return api_error('Invalid input');
return api_paginate($paginator);
```

Response Formats
----------------

[](#response-formats)

### Success Response

[](#success-response)

```
{
  "status": 100,
  "message": "Success",
  "data": { ... }
}
```

### Error Response

[](#error-response)

```
{
  "status": 400,
  "message": "Error",
  "errors": { ... }
}
```

### Pagination Response

[](#pagination-response)

```
{
  "status": 100,
  "message": "Success",
  "data": [ ... ],
  "pagination": {
    "current_page": 1,
    "last_page": 5,
    "per_page": 10,
    "total": 50
  }
}
```

### Custom Key Response

[](#custom-key-response)

If you change the config keys, your JSON response can instead use names like `status_code` and `status_message`:

```
{
  "status_code": 100,
  "status_message": "Success",
  "data": [ ... ],
  "pagination": {
    "current_page": 1,
    "last_page": 5,
    "per_page": 10,
    "total": 50
  }
}
```
