How to use

Create a new data transformer

we use transformers to transform request data.

you can run the below command in your console in order to create a new data transformer named TestTransformer.

$ composer php artisan make:transformer TestTransformer

all transformers will be created in App\Http\Transformers path.

Transformer example:

in all transformers, the transform method will transform your data into your ideal one. for example we can write the below code in it:

namespace App\Http\Transformers;

use Shetabit\Transformer\Contracts\TransformerInterface;

class TestTransformer implements TransformerInterface
{
    /**
     * transform given data
     *
     * @param array $data
     * @return array
     */
    public function transform(array $data) : array {
        /*
            input data :		
            [
                'n' => 'mahdi',
                'f' => 'khanzadi'
            ]

            transformed data:
            [
                'name' => 'mahdi',
                'family' => 'khanzadi',
                'username' => 'mahdikhanzadi'
            ]
        */

        return [
            'name' => $data['n'] ?? null,
            'family' => $data['f'] ?? null,
            'username' => ($data['n'] ?? null).($data['f'] ?? null)
        ];
    }
}

Transform requests

we can use a transformer to transform requests like the below:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Transformers\TestTransformer;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class TestController extends Controller
{
    public function __invoke(Request $request) {
        $data = $request->transform()->get(new TestTransformer());
        
        print_r($data)
    }
}
