This package provides a custom Serializer for [Fractal](http://fractal.thephpleague.com) that transforms data into the API output that we at [Pixel Fusion](https://pixelfusion.co.nz) prefer.

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

[](#installation)

To install the latest version of this package run the following command:

```
composer require pixelfusion/api-serializer

```

After that you should change the serializer that you want to use to `PixelFusion\Fractal\Serializer\ApiSerializer`.

Output format
-------------

[](#output-format)

This API serializer extends the default ArraySerializer but has a slight difference. For the pagination we omitted the fields that we don't use. Below is an example of how a response that includes pagination will look like:

```
{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "7ywpxp6r",
      "title": "The Godfather",
    },
    {
      "id": "q9pykp17",
      "title": "Pulp Fiction",
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "total": 9,
    "per_page": 2,
    "current_page": 1,
    "last_page": 5
  }
}
```
