laravel5-fractal
================

[](#laravel5-fractal)

A simple fractal service provider and transformer generator for laravel 5 and lumen

welcome to my first laravel package, lets rock.

### New: Since version 1.2 auto class aliase has been removed.

[](#new-since-version-12-auto-class-aliase-has-been-removed)

Require this package with composer using the following command:

```
composer require cyvelnet/laravel5-fractal

```

#### Laravel 5

[](#laravel-5)

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php for laravel>=5

```
Cyvelnet\Laravel5Fractal\Laravel5FractalServiceProvider::class,

```

and register Facade

```
'Fractal' => Cyvelnet\Laravel5Fractal\Facades\Fractal::class

```

#### Lumen

[](#lumen)

register service provider in /bootstrap/app.php for lumen

```
$app->register(Cyvelnet\Laravel5Fractal\Laravel5FractalServiceProvider::class);

```

and uncomment the line

```
$app->withFacades();

```

and finally register Facade with

```
class_alias(Cyvelnet\Laravel5Fractal\Facades\Fractal::class, 'Fractal');

```

Now you can start using this package with the following simple command

```
$user = User::find(1);

return Fractal::item($user, new UserTransformer)->responseJson(200);

```

OR

```
$users = User::get(); // $users = User::paginate();

return Fractal::collection($users, new UserTransformer)->responseJson(200);

```

You will automatically gain some extra attributes when you passing a laravel's paginator object.

In case you would like to get only the transformed array, you may do

```
Fractal::collection($user, new UserTransformer)->getArray();

```

You may now generate transformer classes in artisan

```
php artisan make:transformer

```

in this case we are going to use artisan make:transformer UserTransformer, transformer file will automatically created in App\\Transfomers\\ directory

now you may open your generated transformer file and start formatting your data as you like

```
public function transform($user)
{
    return [
           'id' => $user->user_id,
           'name' => "{$user->user_firstname} {$user->user_lastname}",
           ...
           ];
}

```

You can also publish the config-file to change implementations to suits you.

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

#### For the reason, number of changes to port to Lumen are very minimal, new branch will be added for future breaking changes between laravel 5 and lumen.

[](#for-the-reason-number-of-changes-to-port-to-lumen-are-very-minimal-new-branch-will-be-added-for-future-breaking-changes-between-laravel-5-and-lumen)

##### TO DO

[](#to-do)

- add functionality to artisan command to generate sub transformer and includes function boilerplate
