Suggestions for JSON API response package

The one I know that fits your needs is https://github.com/neomerx/json-api

However Fractal is by far the easiest package to get started with and work with: https://fractal.thephpleague.com/ It might not 100% fit the implementation, but it sure saves you time and makes your code very readable!

BTW, there is also a Laravel package available for the neomerx/json-api package: https://github.com/cloudcreativity/laravel-json-api

@bobbybouwmann thank you for that, it looks like the cloudcreativity package is the one that fits the specifications right.

Nice one :) Thanks

No problem ;)

Hey @bobbybouwmann ... I am going to change my answer, as im currently reading 'Build APIs you wont hate' and it seems as if the Fractal package is actually developed by the author of the book.

You can use https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent-resources and create any format of json response.

@mykola is that exactly what the Fractal package does?

@Chris1981 The fractal package is not doing the same as the Laravel Eloquent Resources. Both have a different output and different structures. For a basic api the Eloquent Resources are fine, but for a more controlled output the fractal package will offer better output for you.

If you want a good implementation for fractal in Laravel you should use this package: https://github.com/spatie/laravel-fractal
