RESTful format response for Laravel

For Laravel 4, please use the v1.x branch!

Restable is a useful to create RESTful API response format that support multiple format, such as Json, XML Serialized, PHP.

Installation

• Restable on Packagist
• Restable on GitHub

To get the lastest version of Theme simply require it in your composer.json file.

"teepluss/restable": "dev-master"

You'll then need to run composer install to download it and have the autoloader updated.

Once Theme is installed you need to register the service provider with the application. Open up config/app.php and find the providers key.

'providers' => array(

    'Teepluss\Restable\RestableServiceProvider'

)

Restable also ships with a facade which provides the static syntax for creating collections. You can register the facade in the aliases key of your config/app.php file.

'aliases' => array(

    'Restable' => 'Teepluss\Restable\Facades\Restable'

)

Publish config using artisan CLI.

php artisan vendor:publish
