Read more at [MixerAPI.com](https://mixerapi.com). Installation ------------ [](#installation) !!! info "" You can skip this step if MixerAPI is installed. However, you will still new to define your viewClasses (read below). ``` composer require mixerapi/collection-view bin/cake plugin load MixerApi/CollectionView ``` Alternatively after composer installing you can manually load the plugin in your Application: ``` # src/Application.php public function bootstrap(): void { // other logic... $this->addPlugin('MixerApi/CollectionView'); } ``` Setup ----- [](#setup) Your controllers must define their [view classes for content negotiation](https://book.cakephp.org/5/en/views/json-and-xml-views.html#defining-view-classes-to-negotiate-with). ``` use MixerApi\CollectionView\View\JsonCollectionView; use MixerApi\CollectionView\View\XmlCollectionView; public function viewClasses(): array { return [JsonCollectionView::class, XmlCollectionView::class]; } ``` This can be done in your AppController to add them to all inheriting controllers or on a controller-by-controller basis. Usage ----- [](#usage) That's it, you're done. Perform `application/xml` or `application/json` requests as normal. You may also request by `.xml` or `.json` extensions (assuming you've enabled them in your `config/routes.php`). This plugin will only modify collections (e.g. controller::index action) requests, not item (e.g. controller::view action) requests. JSON sample``` { "collection": { "url": "/films?page=3&direction=desc", "count": 20, "total": 1000, "pages": 50, "next": "/films?page=4", "prev": "/films?page=2", "first": "/films", "last": "/films?page=50" }, "data": [ { "id": 1, "first_name": "PENELOPE", "last_name": "GUINESS", "modified": "2006-02-15T04:34:33+00:00", "films": [ { "id": 1, "title": "ACADEMY DINOSAUR", "description": "A Epic Drama of a Feminist And a Mad Scientist who must Battle a Teacher in The Canadian Rockies", "release_year": "2006", "language_id": 1, "rental_duration": 6, "length": 86, "rating": "PG", "special_features": "Deleted Scenes,Behind the Scenes", "modified": "2006-02-15T05:03:42+00:00" } ] } ] } ``` XML sample``` /films?page=3&direction=desc 20 1000 50 /films?page=4 /films?page=2 /films /films?page=50 1 PENELOPE GUINESS 2/15/06, 4:34 AM 1 ACADEMY DINOSAUR A Epic Drama of a Feminist And a Mad Scientist who must Battle a Teacher in The Canadian Rockies 2006 1 6 86 PG Deleted Scenes,Behind the Scenes 2/15/06, 5:03 AM ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) This is optional. You can alter the names of the response keys, simply create a config/collection\_view.php file. Using the example below we can change the `collection` key to `pagination`, `data` to `items`, and alter some key names within our new pagination object. Just keep the mapped items `{{names}}` as-is. ``` # config/collection_view.php return [ 'CollectionView' => [ 'pagination' => '{{collection}}', // array that holds pagination data 'pagination.url' => '{{url}}', // url of current page 'pagination.count' => '{{count}}', // items on the page 'pagination.total' => '{{total}}', // total database records 'pagination.pages' => '{{pages}}', // total pages 'pagination.next' => '{{next}}', // next page url 'pagination.prev' => '{{prev}}', // previous page url 'pagination.first' => '{{first}}', // first page url 'pagination.last' => '{{last}}', // last page url 'items' => '{{data}}', // the collection of data ] ]; ``` ### Health Score 55 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance84 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity32 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity74 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
