README

Provides simple classes for JSON responses that adhere to a standardized structure. Since JSON responses may have very different formats, this package supports the specific JSend format defined at http://labs.omniti.com/labs/jsend.

This package is an extension of the HttpFoundation\JsonResponse class from the Symfony package.

Install

The recommended way to install JsonResponse is through composer.

You can either add it as a depedency to your project using the command line:

$ composer require gridonic/json-response

or by adding it directly to your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "gridonic/json-response": "1.*"
    }
}

Run these two commands to install it:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar install

Now you can add the autoloader, and you will have access to the library:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

JsonResponse

We differentiate between two different types of Responses:

• SuccessJsonResponse
• ErrorJsonResponse

SuccessJsonResponse

/**
 * @throws \InvalidArgumentException
 */
 new SuccessJsonResponse($data, 'Success message', 'Success title', 200);

{
    "status" : "success",
    "data" : { ... },
    "message" : "Sucess message",
    "title" : "Success title"
}

ErrorJsonResponse

/**
 * @throws \InvalidArgumentException
 */
 new ErrorJsonResponse($data, 'Error message', 'Error title', 400, 'e311', $errors);

{
    "status" : "error",
    "data" : { ... },
    "message" : "Error message",
    "title" : "Error title",
    "error_code" : "e311",
    "errors" : { ... }
}

JSend

Our Responses are based on the Model of JSend. You can find the documentation of JSend on the JSend website

Usage

SuccessJsonResponse

Use a Gridonic\JsonResponse\SuccessJsonResponse to build a structured JSON Response.

Empty SuccessJsonResponse

new SuccessJsonResponse();

{
    "status" : "success",
    "data" : null
}

SuccessJsonResponse with Content

$data = array(
    'post' => array(
        'id' => 1,
        'title' => 'A blog post',
    )
);
$message = 'The Blog post was successfully created.';
$title = 'Successfully created!';
$statusCode = 205;

new SuccessJsonResponse($data, $message, $title, $statusCode);

{
    "status" : "success",
    "data" : {
        "post": {
            "id" : 1,
            "title" : "A blog post"
        }
    },
    "message" : "The Blog post was successfully created.",
    "title" : "Successfully created!"
}

SuccessJsonResponse

Use a Gridonic\JsonResponse\ErrorJsonResponse to build a structured JSON Response.

ErrorJsonResponse with Message

$message = 'Oups, data is missing.';

new ErrorJsonResponse(null, $message); // you have to send a message!

{
    "status" : "error",
    "data" : null,
    "message" : "Oups, data is missing"
}

ErrorJsonResponse with Content

$data = array(
    'post' => array(
        'title' => 'A blog post',
    )
);
$message = 'Oups, data is not correct.';
$title = 'An error occured!';
$statusCode = 400;
$errorCode = e311;
$errors = array(
    'body' => 'The parameter is missing.',
    'title' => 'This parameter is too long.'
);

new ErrorJsonResponse($data, $message, $title, $statusCode, $errorCode, $errors);

{
    "status" : "error",
    "data" : {
        "post": {
            "title" : "A blog post"
        }
    },
    "message" : "Oups, data is missing",
    "title" : "An error occured",
    "error_code" : "e311",
    "errors" : {
        "body" : "The parameter is missing.",
        "title" : "This parameter is too long."
    }
}
