I have below Laravel controller methods, I need to customize the returned result, but I have problem as below:
public function getCart(CartProductsRequest $request) { try { $carts = json_decode($request->cart); $products = []; $total = 0; $allCurrency = ""; foreach ($carts as $key => $cart) {
$product = new ProductResource(Product::findOrFail($cart->productId));
$total += $product->finalPrice * $cart->quantity;
$product->qty = $cart->quantity;
$product->inStock = $product->inStock();
$product->totalPrice = $cart->quantity * $product->finalPrice;
$products[] = $product;
$allCurrency = $product->currency->symbol;
}
$cart = ['products' => $products, 'total' => round($total, 2), 'currency' => $allCurrency];
return JsonResponse::respondSuccess(trans(JsonResponse::MSG_SUCCESS), $cart);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
return JsonResponse::respondError($e->getMessage());
}
}
The result (products) does not contain the new added probertites like qty , I don't know way,
The API resource is (the fields returned):
public function toArray($request) { return [ 'id' => $this->id, 'name_en' => $this->name_en, 'name_ar' => $this->name_ar, 'slug' => $this->slug, 'details' => $this->details, 'currency' => $this->currency, 'offer' => $this->offer->first(), 'brand' => $this->brand, 'category' => $this->category, 'specifications' => SpesificationResource::collection($this->specifications), 'merchant' => $this->merchant, 'images' => count($this->images) > 0 ? ImageResource::collection($this->images) : asset("/images/default.png"), "price" => $this->price, "finalPrice" => $this->offer->first() ? $this->price - ($this->price * $this->offer->first()->discount / 100) : $this->price, 'quantity' => $this->quantity, 'inStock' => $this->inStock(), 'status' => $this->status, 'created_at' => $this->created_at, 'updated_at' => $this->updated_at, ]; }
The result is :

Can you help me please to determine the problem?? (I need the qty in the result) Or if there is another way to map the result
@alaa91 you are trying to set attributes on Resource, not Product
$product =Product::findOrFail($cart->productId);
$total += $product->finalPrice * $cart->quantity;
$product->qty = $cart->quantity;
$product->inStock = $product->inStock();
$product->totalPrice = $cart->quantity * $product->finalPrice;
$products[] = new ProductResource($product);
But the qty attribute not returned. @silencebringer
as $product->qty is a new attribute;
@alaa91 check your ProductResource. Possible you do not return it?
yes it is a new attribute ,i want to add it to each product. therefore my code was :
$product = new ProductResource(Product::findOrFail($cart->productId));
$total += $product->finalPrice * $cart->quantity;
$product->qty = $cart->quantity;
$product->inStock = $product->inStock();
$product->totalPrice = $cart->quantity * $product->finalPrice;
$products[] = $product;
@alaa91 show the toArray method of ProductResource
@alaa91 first of all - format your code
where you return qty in resource???????
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'qty' => $this->qty, // <--- just return it!
'name_en' => $this->name_en,
'name_ar' => $this->name_ar,
'slug' => $this->slug,
'details' => $this->details,
'currency' => $this->currency,
'offer' => $this->offer->first(),
'brand' => $this->brand,
'category' => $this->category,
'specifications' => SpesificationResource::collection($this->specifications),
'merchant' => $this->merchant,
'images' => count($this->images) > 0 ? ImageResource::collection($this->images) : asset("/images/default.png"),
"price" => $this->price,
"finalPrice" => $this->offer->first() ? $this->price - ($this->price * $this->offer->first()->discount / 100) : $this->price,
'quantity' => $this->quantity,
'inStock' => $this->inStock(),
'status' => $this->status,
'created_at' => $this->created_at,
'updated_at' => $this->updated_at,
];
}
$product =Product::findOrFail($cart->productId);
$total += $product->finalPrice * $cart->quantity;
$product->qty = $cart->quantity; // <- right here you add this attribute to the product
$product->inStock = $product->inStock();
$product->totalPrice = $cart->quantity * $product->finalPrice;
$products[] = new ProductResource($product);
Pay attention! Add qty before wrapping product into ProductResource
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'qty' => $this->qty, // <--- right here you output this attribute
'name_en' => $this->name_en,
'name_ar' => $this->name_ar,
'slug' => $this->slug,
'details' => $this->details,
'currency' => $this->currency,
'offer' => $this->offer->first(),
'brand' => $this->brand,
'category' => $this->category,
'specifications' => SpesificationResource::collection($this->specifications),
'merchant' => $this->merchant,
'images' => count($this->images) > 0 ? ImageResource::collection($this->images) : asset("/images/default.png"),
"price" => $this->price,
"finalPrice" => $this->offer->first() ? $this->price - ($this->price * $this->offer->first()->discount / 100) : $this->price,
'quantity' => $this->quantity,
'inStock' => $this->inStock(),
'status' => $this->status,
'created_at' => $this->created_at,
'updated_at' => $this->updated_at,
];
}
Thank you dear, it returned :), i just have another problem: the $product->finalPrice it returned 0 and it should not.
in this $product->totalPrice = $cart->quantity * $product->finalPrice; but it returned truly in the response. @silencebringer
@alaa91 ah-ha, really? maybe just return it in resource too? =)
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'qty' => $this->qty,
'totalPrice' => $this->totalPrice, // <--- really, here you can add everything you need to return
'name_en' => $this->name_en,
'name_ar' => $this->name_ar,
'slug' => $this->slug,
'details' => $this->details,
'currency' => $this->currency,
'offer' => $this->offer->first(),
'brand' => $this->brand,
'category' => $this->category,
'specifications' => SpesificationResource::collection($this->specifications),
'merchant' => $this->merchant,
'images' => count($this->images) > 0 ? ImageResource::collection($this->images) : asset("/images/default.png"),
"price" => $this->price,
"finalPrice" => $this->offer->first() ? $this->price - ($this->price * $this->offer->first()->discount / 100) : $this->price,
'quantity' => $this->quantity,
'inStock' => $this->inStock(),
'status' => $this->status,
'created_at' => $this->created_at,
'updated_at' => $this->updated_at,
];
}
or possible wrong attribute name?
$product->totalPrice = $cart->quantity * $product->finalPrice;
you set totalPrice, not finalPrice
really your final price has some dependencies. Close this conversation and start another one, as far as it's out of scope of current conversation
I added it but it return 0 in the response.
@alaa91 ok, step by step
public function toArray($request)
{
dd(!!$this->offer->first(), $this->price, $this->offer->first()->discount);
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'qty' => $this->qty,
'totalPrice' => $this->totalPrice, // <--- really, here you can add everything you need to return
'name_en' => $this->name_en,
'name_ar' => $this->name_ar,
'slug' => $this->slug,
'details' => $this->details,
'currency' => $this->currency,
'offer' => $this->offer->first(),
'brand' => $this->brand,
'category' => $this->category,
'specifications' => SpesificationResource::collection($this->specifications),
'merchant' => $this->merchant,
'images' => count($this->images) > 0 ? ImageResource::collection($this->images) : asset("/images/default.png"),
"price" => $this->price,
"finalPrice" => $this->offer->first() ? $this->price - ($this->price * $this->offer->first()->discount / 100) : $this->price,
'quantity' => $this->quantity,
'inStock' => $this->inStock(),
'status' => $this->status,
'created_at' => $this->created_at,
'updated_at' => $this->updated_at,
];
}
Show me dump results
Thank youuuuu dear :) I processed it in the front.
