Change Log

> V 1.3.1

add feature to merge meta when adding data

addData(str $key, mix $val, bool $merge_meta)

		
	$builder = new Saad\JsonResponseBuilder\JsonResponseBuilder();
	
	$builder->addData('users', [
		['name' => 'Ahmed Saad'],
		'meta' => [
			'name' => 'iam meta',
		]
	], true); // Note the third argument
	
	
	return $builder->getResponse();
	
	// Output
	
	{
        "success": true,
	
        "meta" : {
            'name' => 'iam meta',
        },
	
        "data": [
            'users': [
            		{"name": "Ahmed Saad"}
            ],
        ],
	
        "message": "Successfully Retrieved"
    }

> V 1.3

Add Strict Mode and enabled by default: in strict mode if data or meta are empty it will set it's value to null instead of []

to turn of strickt mode, on constructor pass false to disable strickt mode so that it will return data, and meta as empty array if they are empty

you can set mode on instance by the method strictMode(bool)

Usage

• Basic Example:

  inside your controller:

  
  	$builder = new Saad\JsonResponseBuilder\JsonResponseBuilder();
  
  	$builder->mergeData([
  		['name' => 'Ahmed Saad'],
  		['name' => 'John Doe']
  	]);
  
  	$builder->addMeta([
  		'pagination' => [
  			'page' => 1,
  			'per_page' => 4,
  		]
  	]);
  
  	return $builder->getResponse();
  
  

• the above example will output:

  
  	{
  		"success": true,
  
  		"meta" : {
  			"pagination": {
  				"page": 1,
  				"per_page": 4
  			}
  		},
  
  		"data": [
  			{"name": "Ahmed Saad"},
  			{"name": "John Doe"}
  		],
  
  		"message": "Successfully Retrieved"
  	}
