💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using an attribute that does not exist on the User model.

Confusing the attribute with username or fullname.

The property name is the correct attribute to return the user's name in the resource.

medium

Complete the code to return a collection of users using the resource class.

Laravel

use App\Http\Resources\UserResource;
use App\Models\User;

public function index()

    $users = User::all();

}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using make which is for single models.

Using all which is a query method, not a resource method.

The collection method wraps a collection of models into a resource collection.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the resource class to correctly include a custom attribute.

Laravel

class UserResource extends JsonResource
{
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [
            'id' => $this->id,
            'name' => $this->name,
            'is_admin' => $this->[1],
        ];
    }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using camelCase attribute names that don't exist on the model.

Using attribute names that are not defined in the model.

The attribute is_admin matches the typical Laravel model attribute naming for boolean flags.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to add a conditional attribute to the resource output.

Laravel

class UserResource extends JsonResource
{
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [
            'id' => $this->id,
            'email' => $this->email,
            'phone' => $this->when($this->[1], $this->[2]),
        ];
    }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Dphone != ''

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the wrong attribute name for the phone number.

Not providing a proper condition for the when method.

The when method conditionally includes the phone attribute only if it is not null.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to customize the resource response with additional data and a custom key.

Laravel

class UserResource extends JsonResource
{
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [
            '[1]' => $this->name,
            'email' => $this->email,
            'role' => $this->whenLoaded('[2]'),
        ];
    }

    public function with($request)
    {
        return [
            '[3]' => 'User data retrieved successfully',
        ];
    }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ausername

Brole

Cmeta

Duser_name

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect keys that don't match the data.

Not using the whenLoaded method properly.

The key user_name customizes the name field key, role is the relation to load, and meta adds extra info to the response.
