Set custom serializer for includes file

[stefensuhat]

HI,

I've been wondering is there any chance that i can use above class at includes?

For example:

class OrderTransformer extends TransformerAbstract
{
    public $availableIncludes = ['user', 'items'];

    /**
     * A Fractal transformer.
     *
     * @param $resource
     * @return array
     */
    public function transform($resource)
    {
        return [
            'id'         => $resource->id,
            'receiver'   => $resource->receiver,
            'totalPrice' => $resource->totalPrice,
            'address'    => $resource->address,
            'phone'      => $resource->phone,
            'orderedAt'  => $resource->createdAt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
        ];
    }

    public function includeUser($resource)
    {
        $resource = $resource->user;

        return $this->item($resource, new UserTransformer);
    }

    public function includeItems($resource)
    {
        $resource = $resource->items;

        return $this->collection($resource, new OrderItemTransformer); // I want to use custom serializer here to remove "data" key.
    }
}

I need to use those fractal to remove the additional data key on the result.

Here is the result I get:

{
    "orders": [
        {
            "id": "C170620PVJM6",
            "receiver": "Example",

                            }
                        }
                    },
                    {

                        "menu": {
                            "name": "Queen jumped up in.",

                        }
                    },
                    {
                        "price": 2,
                        "menu": {
                            "name": "And oh, I wish you.",
                            "image": {
                                "web": "https://lorempixel.com/413/413/?22822",
                                "mobile": "https://lorempixel.com/413/413/?22822",
                                "square": "https://lorempixel.com/413/413/?22822"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    ],
    "meta": {
        "pagination": {
            "total": 5,
            "count": 1,
            "per_page": 1,
            "current_page": 1,

            }
        }
    }

Expected result:

Can I include custom serializer on that includes?

[DeRain]

Faced the same issue. It would be great to get any feedback from package maintainers.

[maxim-usikov]

@DeRain @stefensuhat i think that's why:

Collections keep the 'data' namespace to avoid confusing JSON when meta data is added.

See here: http://fractal.thephpleague.com/serializers/

[JayBizzle]

See https://github.com/thephpleague/fractal/issues/315#issuecomment-248789771 for a work around

[mcblum]

@JayBizzle is there any reason why this workaround would no longer be working? Our app was working great for the longest time, then we updated to Laravel 5.5 and all of a sudden I can't get that data key to go away. I've tried setting the default_serializer in the config file and using the manager to set a custom serializer.

[mouadhbenalaya]

You must change the default serializer in config/fractal.php default_serializer' => 'League\Fractal\Serializer\ArraySerializer',
