Why is this package helpful?
----------------------------

[](#why-is-this-package-helpful)

This package ensures your API will always return the same envelope shape, so consuming apps always know what to expect!

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP ^8.5
- Laravel ^13.0

Install
-------

[](#install)

You can install this package via composer:

```
composer require myerscode/laravel-api-response
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In a Laravel controller you just to build up your response and return it!

The `api()` helper return a Response `Builder` and as it implements the [Responsable](https://laravel.com/api/master/Illuminate/Contracts/Support/Responsable.html)trait you dont need to do anything more than return the builder

### Using the api() helper function

[](#using-the-api-helper-function)

```
function resource()
{
    return api()->status(201)->data(['name' => 'Foo Bar'])->message('Record Created!');
}
```

### Using a Builder class

[](#using-a-builder-class)

```
function resource() {
    $buillder = new Builder();
    $builder->status(201)->data(['name' => 'Foo Bar'])->message('Record Created!');
    return $builder;
}
```

Would return the following `JSON` response.

```
{
    "status": 201,
    "data": {
        "name": "Foo Bar"
    },
    "meta": [],
    "messages": [
        "Record Created!"
    ]
}
```
