Fractal Wrapper

, _(*1)

This package puts a nice wrapper around the fractal package: http://fractal.thephpleague.com. It handles the nitty gritty task of spinning up the manager, creating a resource and provides a convient location to register your transformers., _(*2)

Installation

Add this to your composer.json require:, _(*3)

"bastian/fractal-magic": "dev-master"

and run composer update., _(*4)

Usage

``` php $fractal = new Hofmann\FractalMagic\Fractal([ 'posts' => new ResourceTransformer ]);, _(*5)

// Singular for a fractal item, _(*6)

$fractal->post(['title' => 'Hello']);, _(*7)

// Plural for a fractal collection, _(*8)

$fractal->posts([ ['title' => 'Hi!'] ]);, _(*9)


Notice that you only have to set the singular resource binding.
This will return a Symfony response with the data in place, which you can return from your controller or route closure.

## Laravel Usage

For usage in laravel I suggest you register a `Response::macro` like this:

``` php
Response::macro('fractal', function()
{
  return new Hofmann\FractalMagic\Fractal([
    'resource' => new ResourceTransformer
  ]);
});

Now you can use this in your controller:, _(*10)

``` php class SomeController {, _(*11)

public function index() { return Response::fractal()->resources($data); }, _(*12)

} ```, _(*13)
