i'm using laravel for webservice. i want to return a collection like this:
return response()->json([data => $data]);
and i'm using laravel api resouces for transforming the collection. this is my resource:
class Item extends JsonResource
public function toArray($request)
{
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'name'=> $this->name,
'city_dependent' => $this->city_dependent,
];
}
when i pass a collection to the resource like:
$items = Item::where('active' , 1)->paginate(10);
$data = Item::collection($items);
everything works good. if i return the $data, the pagination links and meta are returning and there is no problem.
"links": {
"first": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/category/items?page=1",
"last": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/category/items?page=1",
"prev": null,
"next": null
},
"meta": {
"current_page": 1,
"from": 1,
"last_page": 1,
"path": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/category/items",
"per_page": 10,
"to": 3,
"total": 3
}
but if i return the data with response()->json() like below, all data about "meta" and "links" are remove! and everything else is ok.
return response()->json([
'result' =>true,
'data' => $data
]);
why the pagination data and links are removed from the data? is there anything that i missed?
