It automatically detects the model name and the current CRUD action (index, store, update, destroy) to generate localized and professional response messages. ### Why use this package? [](#why-use-this-package) - **Consistency**: Ensure every success response in your API follows the same linguistic pattern. - **Automatic Detection**: No need to manually type messages for every controller action. The package "just knows" what you're doing. - **Localized**: Built-in support for multiple languages with proper grammar and gender resolution for model names. - **Clean API**: Focus on your data, while the package handles the communication part of your REST interface. --- Support us ---------- [](#support-us) We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://github.com/victormgomes). You can support us by [sponsoring us on GitHub](https://github.com/sponsors/VictorMGomes). --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require victormgomes/rest-messages ``` --- Usage ----- [](#usage) Simply use the `HasResourceMessages` trait in your response helpers or base controllers. ``` use Victormgomes\RestMessages\Traits\HasResourceMessages; class ApiResponse { use HasResourceMessages; public function success($data) { return response()->json([ 'message' => $this->message(), 'data' => $data, ]); } } ``` The `$this->message()` method will automatically resolve the model and action from the current route context. For example, if called from `UserController@store`, it will return: *"User created successfully."* --- Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.
