Laravel Resource Modifier

A simple Laravel package that intercepts and help you customize, remove or modify the meta data on your Eloquent API Resource response, as well as automatically convert resource keys to camel case.

Features

• Complete control over how Eloquent Api Resources are rendered and generated.
• Remove meta and links completely from the response if you want.
• If you choose to keep meta and links, you also have total control over meta's [to, from, links, path, total, per_page, last_page, current_page] properties and link's [first, last, prev, next] properties.
• Automatically convert resource keys to camel casing if needed.
• php artisan mod:resource to automatically generate API resources in place of php artisan make:resource;

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require toneflix-code/laravel-resource-modifier

Package Discovery

Laravel automatically discovers and publishes service providers but optionally after you have installed Laravel Fileable, open your Laravel config file if you use Laravel below 11, config/app.php and add the following lines.

In the $providers array add the service providers for this package.

ToneflixCode\ResourceModifier\ResourceModifierServiceProvider::class

If you use Laravel >= 11, open your bootstrap/providers.php and the above line to the array.

return [
    ToneflixCode\ResourceModifier\ResourceModifierServiceProvider::class,
];

Configuration

By default Laravel Resource Modifier doesn't really do anything different from what Laravel does, but now you can publish the configuration file and modify how Api Resources are presented by running the following artisan command.

Run php artisan vendor:publish --tag="resource-modifier"

Generating Resources

To generate a resource class, you may use the mod:resource Artisan command. By default, resources will be placed in the app/Http/Resources directory of your application. Resources extend the ToneflixCode\ResourceModifier\Services\Json\JsonResource class:

artisan mod:resource UserResource

The configuration file will be copied to config/resource-modifier.php.

Resource Collections

To create a resource collection, you should use the --collection flag when creating the resource. Or, including the word Collection in the resource name will indicate to Laravel that it should create a collection resource. Collection resources extend the ToneflixCode\ResourceModifier\Services\Json\ResourceCollection class:

php artisan mod:resource User --collection

php artisan mod:resource UserCollection

Overwriting the make:resource command

If you want Laravel Resource Modifier to handle your php artisan make:resource command by default, you can create a new command named ResourceMakeCommand with the following signature:

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use Symfony\Component\Console\Attribute\AsCommand;
use ToneflixCode\ResourceModifier\Commands\ResourceMakeCommand as ToneflixCodeResourceMakeCommand;

#[AsCommand(name: 'make:resource')]
class ResourceMakeCommand extends ToneflixCodeResourceMakeCommand
{
    protected $name = 'make:resource';
}

This will overide the default ResourceMakeCommand as Laravel will prefer user defined commands over built in ones, so the next time you call php artisan make:resource UserCollection, your collection will be created with the Laravel Resource Modifier signature.
