Laravel JSON Exception Formatter
================================

[](#laravel-json-exception-formatter)

A small Laravel package to format & output exceptions in JSON format when required.

By default in Laravel, throwing an Exception in debug mode will display a nice JSON response when required (eg. an AJAX response, or an `Accept: application/javascript` header).

However once you're not in debug mode (ie. a production environment), a whole HTML response is displayed instead.

With this package, when you're not in debug mode, exceptions will be output as JSON (only without debug information like the file name & line number).

**NOTE** This does NOT affect HTML requests. Only AJAX/JSON requests are altered.

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

[](#installation)

Add `radweb/json-exception-formatter` to your `composer.json` file.

```
{
    "require": {
        "radweb/json-exception-formatter": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

In `app/config/app.php`, add the Service Provider to the `providers` array:

```
array(
    'providers' => array(
        // ...
        'Radweb\JsonExceptionFormatter\JsonExceptionFormatterServiceProvider',
    )
)
```

Custom Formatters
-----------------

[](#custom-formatters)

You can override the default JSON exception formatter to use a different format, or provide more detail in the output.

To override, implement the `Radweb\JsonExceptionFormatter\FormatterInterface` interface, and bind with the IoC container. This requires you to implement two methods: `formatDebug()` and `formatPlain()`.

Example implementation:

```
