Struggling using parseIncludes in https://github.com/thephpleague/fractal.
I have two tables, Property and Weeks. Each property has many weeks. Using Fractal I can return my property item with a collection of weeks. What I want to do is use parseIncludes, so that the return of weeks is optional.
PropertyTransformer.php
<?php
namespace App\Transformer;
use App\Models\Property;
use League\Fractal\TransformerAbstract;
class PropertyTransformer extends TransformerAbstract
{
protected $availableIncludes = [
'week'
];
public function transform(Property $property)
{
return [
'id' => (int) $property['PropertyID'],
'PropertyName' => $property['PropertyName'],
'ExactBeds' => (int) $property['ExactBeds'],
'weeks' => $property->week
];
}
/**
* Include Week
*
* @return League\Fractal\ItemResource
*/
public function includeWeek( Property $property )
{
$week = $property->week;
return $this->item($week, new WeekTransformer);
}
}
WeekTransformer.php
<?php
namespace App\Transformer;
use App\Models\Week;
use League\Fractal;
class WeekTransformer extends Fractal\TransformerAbstract
{
public function transform(Week $week)
{
return [
'Week' => $week['week'],
'Available' => $week['available'],
'Price' => (int) $week['price'],
];
}
}
My PropertyController.php
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api\v1;
use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Models\Week;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Response;
use App\Models\Property;
use League\Fractal;
use League\Fractal\Manager;
use League\Fractal\Resource\Collection as Collection;
use League\Fractal\Resource\Item as Item;
use App\Transformer\PropertyTransformer;
class PropertyController extends \App\Http\Controllers\Controller {
public function show($id)
{
$property = Property::with('bedroom')->with('week')->find($id);
$fractal = new Fractal\Manager();
if (isset($_GET['include'])) {
$fractal->parseIncludes($_GET['include']);
}
$resource = new Fractal\Resource\Item($property, new PropertyTransformer);
//$resource = new Fractal\Resource\Collection($properies, new PropertyTransformer);
return $fractal->createData( $resource )->parseIncludes('weeks')->toJson();
}
I get the following error on the parseIncludes:-
Method 'parseIncludes' not found in class \League\Fractal\Scope
I'm following the guide here on transformers - http://fractal.thephpleague.com/transformers/
I think I am going wrong somewhere here where it says:-
These includes will be available but can never be requested unless the Manager::parseIncludes() method is called:
<?php
use League\Fractal;
$fractal = new Fractal\Manager();
if (isset($_GET['include'])) {
$fractal->parseIncludes($_GET['include']);
}
If I remove the parseIncludes, I don't get an error, I also get my property data with my collection of weeks, but ?include=week doesn't work to optionally get it.
Your problem is in this line:
return $fractal->createData( $resource )->parseIncludes('weeks')->toJson();
createData()
returns \League\Fractal\Scope
and it has no parseInlcudes
method.
You've already called parseIncludes
here:
if (isset($_GET['include'])) {
$fractal->parseIncludes($_GET['include']);
}
So just remove the second call to it in the return
statement:
return $fractal->createData($resource)->toJson();
