Laravel 5.5 API resources for collections (standalone data)

Question

I was wondering if it is possible to define different data for item resource and collection resource.

For collection I only want to send [\'id\', \'title\', \

Answer 1

If you want the response fields to have the same value in the Resource and Collection, you can reuse the Resource inside the Collection

PersonResource.php

 $this->id,
            'person_type' => $this->person_type,
            'first_name' => $this->first_name,
            'last_name' => $this->last_name,
            'created_at' => (string) $this->created_at,
            'updated_at' => (string) $this->updated_at,
        ];
    }
}

PersonCollection.php

collection);
    }
}
