Fractal lets you present API data in a consistent way, by acting as an anti-corruption layer between your frontend and backend.

[Read up on Fractal here.](http://fractal.thephpleague.com/)

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

[](#installation)

Require this package

```
composer require vice/laravel-fractal

```

And then add the following to the service providers in `app.php`

```
Vice\LaravelFractal\FractalServiceProvider::class,

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To send a JSON representation of a single entity to the frontend simply

```
public function show($id)
{
    //...

    fractalResponse()->item($thing, new ThingTransformer);
}
```

To send a JSON representation of a collection of entities to the frontend simply

```
public function index()
{
    //...

    fractalResponse()->collection($things, new ThingTransformer);
}
```

*The collection method also supports paginators, and will automatically append their state under a `meta` key*

If you need to transform data without immediately using it in a response you may inject `Vice\LaravelFractal\FractalService`into your controller / class and use it as so:

```
$json = $this->fractalService->item($thing, new ThingTransformer)->toJson();
```
