README

json-api-server is a JSON:API server implementation in PHP.

It allows you to build a feature-rich API by defining resource schema and connecting it to your application's database layer.

Based on your schema definition, the package will serve a complete API that conforms to the JSON:API specification, including support for:

• Showing individual resources (GET /articles/1)
• Listing resource collections (GET /articles)
• Sorting, filtering, pagination, and sparse fieldsets
• Compound documents with inclusion of related resources
• Creating resources (POST /articles)
• Updating resources (PATCH /articles/1)
• Deleting resources (DELETE /articles/1)
• Content negotiation
• Error handling
• Extensions including Atomic Operations
• Generating OpenAPI definitions

Example

The following example uses an Eloquent model in a Laravel application. However, json-api-server can be used with any framework that can deal in PSR-7 Requests and Responses. Custom behavior can be implemented to support other ORMs and data persistence layers.

use App\Models\User;
use Tobyz\JsonApiServer\Laravel;
use Tobyz\JsonApiServer\Laravel\EloquentResource;
use Tobyz\JsonApiServer\Laravel\Filter;
use Tobyz\JsonApiServer\Endpoint;
use Tobyz\JsonApiServer\Schema\Field;
use Tobyz\JsonApiServer\Schema\Type;
use Tobyz\JsonApiServer\JsonApi;

class UsersResource extends EloquentResource
{
    public function type(): string
    {
        return 'users';
    }

    public function newModel(Context $context): object
    {
        return new User();
    }

    public function endpoints(): array
    {
        return [
            Endpoint\Show::make(),
            Endpoint\Index::make()->paginate(),
            Endpoint\Create::make()->visible(Laravel\can('create')),
            Endpoint\Update::make()->visible(Laravel\can('update')),
            Endpoint\Delete::make()->visible(Laravel\can('delete')),
        ];
    }

    public function fields(): array
    {
        return [
            Field\Attribute::make('name')
                ->type(Type\Str::make())
                ->writable()
                ->required(),

            Field\ToOne::make('address')->includable(),

            Field\ToMany::make('friends')
                ->type('users')
                ->includable(),
        ];
    }

    public function filters(): array
    {
        return [Filter\Where::make('id'), Filter\Where::make('name')];
    }
}

$api = new JsonApi();

$api->resource(new UsersResource());

/** @var Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface $request */
/** @var Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface $response */
try {
    $response = $api->handle($request);
} catch (Throwable $e) {
    $response = $api->error($e);
}
