If you add the data key yourself, you need to disable wrapping with withoutWrapping
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/eloquent-resources#data-wrapping
Check your old application. You most likely have it in there already

API Resource with pagination
Hi, I'm a little bit confused after upgrading to Laravel 8.
With my upgraded application, no change. So yesterday I created a fresh application and used API Resource like always.
class UserCollection extends ResourceCollection
{
/**
* Transform the resource collection into an array.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return array
*/
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
'data' => $this->collection
];
}
}
Sample call
return new UserCollection(User::paginate());
But this time, the data key is double wrapped.
JSON Response looks like
{
"data": {
"data": [
{
"id": 1,
"username": "heavy user",
"email": "[email protected]",
"email_verified_at": "2020-09-24T08:19:16.000000Z",
"profile_photo_path": null,
"created_at": "2020-09-24T08:19:12.000000Z",
"updated_at": "2020-09-24T08:19:16.000000Z"
}
]
},
"links": ...
}
Has anyone an idea about that? I feel a bit stupid, read the docs many times and double checked all :-D Thanks.

Nope, without wrapping does not help.
UserCollection::withoutWrapping();
return new UserCollection(User::paginate());
AppServiceProvider
/**
* Bootstrap any application services.
*
* @return void
*/
public function boot()
{
JsonResource::withoutWrapping(); // tried both
UserCollection::withoutWrapping();
}
I don't have disabled this in my other application. Very strange.

Sorry, cannot undo best answer, clicked wrong.
Yes, I have still
{
"data": {
"data": [
{
"id": 1,
"username": "heavy user",
"email": "[email protected]",
"email_verified_at": "2020-09-24T08:19:16.000000Z",
"profile_photo_path": null,
"created_at": "2020-09-24T08:19:12.000000Z",
"updated_at": "2020-09-24T08:19:16.000000Z"
}
]
},
as JSON 🙄

I added a small demo app where you can see the issue
https://github.com/mludi/laravel-api-resource-error
Just move env .env.example to .env, migrate, seed and go to your main route of the application.

@matz Cloned your project and tested. You had to return only your collection without any extra wrapping
class UserCollection extends ResourceCollection
{
/**
* Transform the resource collection into an array.
*
* @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* @return array
*/
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
'data' => $this->collection, // Replaced this with
$this->collection, // This
];
}
}

Weird, I have no issue at first, the issue only comes after I adding the code below.
ResourceCollection::withoutWrapping();

@usaandi Yes, but it changed from previous versions.

@frankielee now it's freaking. I changed from PHP 7.4.10 back to 7.3 and back to 7.4.10 (I use valet) and it seems to work now Ôo
And it's a bit annoying why
JsonResource::withoutWrapping();; trigger this behavior.
