Resources are for individual models.
php artisan make:resource User
For collections use Resource Collections
I think these are optional, just if you want additional metadata
php artisan make:resource Users --collection
php artisan make:resource UserCollection
To use collections:
UserResource::collection(User::all());
Relationships
'email' => $this->email,
'posts' => PostResource::collection($this->posts),
'created_at' => $this->created_at,
Data Wrapping
Default is in data but this can be disabled with withoutWrapping.
Pagination
this adds the ```meta``` and ```links``` keys.
## Conditional Attributes
```when``` can be used to conditionally add attributes:
‘secret’ => $this->when(Auth::user()->isAdmin(), ‘secret-value’),
## Merging Conditional Attributes
$this->mergeWhen(Auth::user()->isAdmin(), [
'first-secret' => 'value',
'second-secret' => 'value',
]), ```
