You can just loop over a returned eloquent result. You shouldn't need to transform anything.

API Resource for non APIs
I'm aware when building an API, you can use API Resources to modify data from the database, to present it to thE front end.
But, with a standard/Inertia application, I return data from the model, but I find that I would like a middle layer to transform the data before it's passed back to JS and rendered.
What can I utilize to do this?
Level 1
Do you mean something like this:
return inertia('ProductsAndSolutions/Published', [
'productsAndSolutions' => ProductAndSolution::where('published_at', '!=', null)
->orderByDesc('id')
->get()
->map(fn ($productAndSolution) => [
'id' => $productAndSolution->id,
'image' => $productAndSolution->image,
'image_size' => $productAndSolution->image_size,
'starred' => $productAndSolution->starred,
'system' => $productAndSolution->system,
'description' => $productAndSolution->description,
'featured' => $productAndSolution->featured,
'updated_at' => $productAndSolution->updated_at,
'published_at' => $productAndSolution->published_at,
]),
'countAll' => $countAll,
'countPublished' => $countPublished,
'countDrafts' => $countDrafts,
'countTrash' => $countTrash,
]);
You can do anything with the data here.

@wojakmcwagies yes, but can't that be put into an API resource?
Level 1
@panthro Like this?
public function __construct($status, $message, $resource)
{
parent::__construct($resource);
$this->status = $status;
$this->message = $message;
}
/**
* Transform the resource into an array.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return array
*/
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
'success' => $this->status,
'message' => $this->message,
'data' => $this->resource
];
}

@wojakmcwagies is this just a class to transform the model? Bit like a DTO?
