Laravel Resourceable

Laravel Resourceable is a package allowing you to quickly access a model's array value from an Api Resource class.

Installation

composer require christopherarter/laravel-resourceable

Examples

$user = new User([...]);

return $user->toResourceArray();

This package will automatically look for the resource class defined in the App\Http\Resources namespace with your ClassName + Resource appended. So for our user example, it would resolve to App\Http\Resources\UserResource.

You may also use a custom API Resource class from any namespace as a parameter:

return $user->toResourceArray(AlternateResource::class);

Why?

This allows for very accurate API HTTP testing of an endpoint, for example:

// UserTest.php

$user = factory(\App\User::class)->create();

  

$this->get(route('users.show'))

->assertJson($user->toResourceArray());
