laravel-api-resources

Laravel API resources structure consistent JSON responses by wrapping Eloquent models in resource classes and collections. This skill provides patterns for standardized response shapes, nested relationships, and conditional attributes across versioned controllers.

Versioning Laravel API controllers involves organizing routes and resources by version, such as V1 and V2. This skill enforces patterns for maintaining multiple API versions, ensuring backward compatibility while managing evolving JSON response structures.

Handling nested Eloquent relationships and pagination in Laravel API resources requires applying eager loading patterns and resource collections. This skill enforces conventions for paginated responses and nested resource formatting to prevent N+1 query issues.

Conditional attributes in Laravel JSON resources allow you to dynamically include or hide fields based on model state. This skill applies these patterns to standardize response shapes and reduce payload overhead across API endpoints.

Building maintainable APIs across multiple versions is supported through versioned controllers and resource collections. This skill standardizes conventions for V1, V2, and beyond, reducing boilerplate while improving API quality and code resilience.
