💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the single resource class for multiple items.

Using the model or controller class.

Not wrapping the data in a resource or collection.

When returning a resource collection as a new instance, you should use the collection class, like UserCollection, not the single resource class.

hard

Fill both blanks to define a resource collection class extending the correct base class.

{
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [2]::collection($this->collection);
    }

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Extending the model or controller instead of ResourceCollection.

Returning the collection directly without wrapping.

Using the wrong resource class inside toArray.

A resource collection class extends ResourceCollection from Laravel. Inside toArray, it returns a collection of the single resource class, here UserResource.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to customize the resource collection's additional data.

Laravel

public function with($request)
{
    return [
        '[1]' => [2],
        '[3]' => 'Success'
    ];
}

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect keys like 'data' or 'info' instead of 'meta'.

Setting 'meta' value as a string instead of an array.

Omitting the 'status' key or using wrong values.

The with method adds extra data to the resource response. The key meta is used for metadata, and status can indicate success. The value for meta is an array with version info.
