Hello,

I have problem in using the model transformer, on the controller I called it using this line
$appointments = Appointment::where('field', condition)->get(); return Response()->json(['appointments' => AppointmentTransformer::transform( $appointments )], 200); and my model transformer is
`

class AppointmentTransformer extends Themsaid\Transformers\AbstractTransformer{
public function transformModel(Model $item)
    {
        $output = [
           "field_key" => value
        ];

        return $output;
    }

}

and I get below error:
Declaration of AppointmentTransformer::transformModel() should be compatible with Themsaid\Transformers\AbstractTransformer::transformModel(Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model $modelOrCollection). Is there any way how can I fixt this? Thanks :)

Hi,

I found your package very simple but yet very useful, I tried to install it on Laravel 5.3 version but it seems it has an error. Is there any version that would support Laravel 5.3?

Thanks,
Noel

FYI for anyone upgrading to L5.5 with this package in use:

In Laravel 5.5, a helper method named transform was added to the framework, thus overwriting LMT's helper method of the same name.

Fixes for you:

1. Invoke LMT's transform method statically
2. grep for instances of transform( then replace
3. Use L5.5's Responsable

I know the consumer API is not really the "Laravel way", but wouldn't it be better to work on a Laravel integration of the Symfony Serializer rather than re-inventing the wheel? Actually the serializer offer you a couple more features:

• It figures out how to serializer/deserialize your objects automatically, so no need for custom serializers. So instead of having a custom Transformer, you would just need to register the serializer instead.
• If you need a more granular serialization, for example to display only a few properties or not allow the deserialization of some properties (user password), you can always use groups for it

I had a bit of trouble to use for my app to be honest, mainly because Eloquent models are a bit special making them hard to automatically serialize. I eventually got over it by using EloquentSerializer though.

WDYT?

Hey, nice package, but the transformer works only with a model or collection. What about paginated results?

Thanks.
