Laravel Collection Transformer

Introduction

This package helps developers to easily transform data in a item or in a collection of items.

Requirements

Laravel >= 5.4

Installation

Install package through Composer:

composer require spawned/transformer

Spawned\Transformer\TransformerServiceProvider::class

Usage

Generate Transformer

You can generate a new transformer by running php artisan make:transformer {name}. For example:

php artisan make:transformer UserTransformer

This will create app\Transformers\UserTransformer.php

A generated transformer will look like this:

class UserTransformer extends Transformer
{
    public function transform($user)
    {
        return [
            'name'  => $user->first . ' ' . $user->last
        ];
    }
}

Modify the returned array in the transform method to define how you want the data to be transformed.

Using Transformers

You can transform a single item using the transform method. For example:

public function show(User $user, UserTransformer $transformer)
{
    return $transformer->transform($user);
}

You can transform a collection of items using the transformCollection method. For example:

public function index(UserTransformer $transformer)
{
    $users = User::all();

    return $transformer->transformCollection($users);
}
