Laravel API Resource Generator Package

This package will help you to generate API resources for your Laravel project.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require alibori/laravel-api-resource-generator --dev

Usage

All you need to do is run the following command:

php artisan api-resource:generate <model-name>

If you want to generate multiple resources at once, you can pass multiple model names separated by a comma:

php artisan api-resource:generate <model-name>,<model-name>,<model-name>

This command will generate a new resource for the given model/s name/s with the properties defined in the model.

If you want to set the array keys of the resource as camelCase, you will be prompted to do it.

For example, for the model named User you will get the following resource:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Resources;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Arrayable;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\JsonResource;
use JsonSerializable;

/**
 * Resource generated by alibori/laravel-api-resource-generator
 *
 * @property integer $id
 * @property string $name
 * @property string $email
 * @property string $email_verified_at
 * @property string $password
 * @property string $remember_token
 * @property string $created_at
 * @property string $updated_at
 */
class UserResource extends JsonResource
{
     /**
     * Transform the resource into an array.
     *
     * @param  Request  $request
     * @return array|Arrayable|JsonSerializable
     */
    public function toArray($request): array|JsonSerializable|Arrayable
    {
        return [
            'id' => $this->id,
            'name' => $this->name,
            'email' => $this->email,
            'email_verified_at' => $this->email_verified_at,
            'remember_token' => $this->remember_token,
            'created_at' => $this->created_at,
            'updated_at' => $this->updated_at
        ];
    }
}

Publish config file

If you want to publish the config file to change the default namespace for the generated resources and the directory where the resources will be generated, you can run the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Alibori\LaravelApiResourceGenerator\LaravelApiResourceGeneratorServiceProvider" --tag="config"
