Use

[](#use)

Create the top level resource of your response. All resources require an instance as Hal\\Link as a constructor parameter and the type of the resource.

```
$resource = new Resource(new Link('self', 'http://example.com/api/book/1'), 'book');

```

Now that we have our resource, we can add additional HAL attributes such as a `_link`

```
$resource->addLink(new Link('publisher', 'http://example.com/api/publisher/56'));

```

Or an `_embedded` resource

```
$resource->addEmbedded(new Resource(
    new Link('self', 'http://exmaple.com/api/author/99'),
    'author',
    null,
    null,
    array(
        'name' => 'George Orwell',
        'born' => '25 June 1903',
        'died' => '21 January 1950'
    )
), 'author');

```

And add some `attributes` to the resource

```
$resource->addAttributes(array(
    'title' => 'Animal Farm',
    'pages' => 112,
    'language' => 'English',
    'country' => 'United Kingdom'
));

```

Once you have created your Resource, you can output an array representation

```
$array = $resource->toArray();

```
