Introduction

ResponseBuilder is Laravel's helper designed to simplify building nice, normalized and easy to consume REST API responses.

Conclude your controller method with simple

return ResponseBuilder::success();

and your client will get nice JSON like

{
  "success": true,
  "code": 0,
  "locale": "en",
  "message": "OK",
  "data": null
}

Something went wrong? Just do

return ResponseBuilder::error(250);

and the following JSON response will be returned

{
   "success": false,
   "code": 250,
   "locale": "en",
   "message": "Your error message for code 250",
   "data": null
}

Nice and easy! And yes, message can be easily customized! Also there're much, much more you can do with rich ResponseBuilder's API. See library documentation for details and usage examples!
