Informations about the package laravel-api-response
Laravel API Response
A fluent API response formatter for Laravel. Returns consistent JSON responses across your application with minimal boilerplate.
Requirements
- PHP ^8.0
- Laravel 9, 10, 11, 12 or 13
Installation
The service provider is auto-discovered. No manual registration needed.
Basic Usage
Two styles are available — use whichever fits your preference:
Both return an Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse instance.
Success response:
Failed response:
Chaining
Build your response by chaining any combination of these methods before calling success() or failed():
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
httpCode(int $code) |
Set the HTTP status code |
message(string $message) |
Set the response message |
data(mixed $data) |
Set the response data |
errors(array $errors) |
Set validation/error details |
meta(array $meta) |
Set metadata |
links(array $links) |
Set pagination links |
code(int\|string $code) |
Set an application-level error/status code |
headers(array $headers) |
Set custom HTTP response headers |
Application-Level Error Codes
Use code() to attach an application-specific error or status code alongside the HTTP status code:
The code field only appears when set. Manage your own code definitions using constants or enums in your application.
Custom HTTP Headers
Use headers() to attach custom HTTP response headers. Headers are sent with the response but never appear in the JSON body:
Shorthand Methods
Common HTTP responses have dedicated shorthand methods. All accept an optional $message parameter:
Pass a custom message to any of them:
Validation Errors
Paginated Collections
Pass a LengthAwarePaginator or AnonymousResourceCollection to collection():
Exception Handling
To ensure all API error responses — including Laravel's built-in exceptions — follow the same structure, register custom renderers in your exception handler.
Laravel 11+ (bootstrap/app.php):
Laravel 9 / 10 (app/Exceptions/Handler.php):
The $request->expectsJson() guard ensures non-API routes (web, Blade) are unaffected and still render the default HTML error pages.
Configuration
Publish the config file to customise key names and add global fields:
This creates config/laravel-api-response.php.
Rename Response Keys
Rename any of the default JSON keys globally without changing your application code:
Global Fields
Append fields to every response automatically. Supports static values and closures:
Every response will then include:
IDE Support
All chainable and shorthand methods are annotated with @method PHPDoc on both the ApiResponse class and the facade, giving full autocomplete in PhpStorm, VS Code, and other IDEs.
