How to add HTTP Status code and status text in to response with ellipsesynergie/api-response In Laravel 5?

Question

We will need to add status code in to the response.

Like

public function withArray(array $array, array $headers = array()) {
if ($this->statusCode == '200') {
$array = array('code' => $this->statusCode , 'success' => TRUE) + $array;
} else {
$array = array('code' => $this->statusCode, 'success' => FALSE) + $array;
}
return response()->json($array, $this->statusCode, $headers);
}

For now, we had modified library code on "ellipsesynergie/api-response/src/Laravel/Response.php".

But I feel. Its not good way.

Could you please suggest me how can i add this to all response without change library code ?

Or Is there any way to add the status code from controller for final response.

Actually, we will need final response like "http://screencast.com/t/nmWF7PYU".

Please help us on this.

Thanks in advance

Just make your own Response class wich extends EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\Laravel\Response. Let's call it App\ApiResponse\MyResponse

Overwrite all methods in EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\Laravel\Response with your own. For example:

public function withArray(array $array, array $headers = array())
{
    $array['code'] = $this->statusCode;
    $array['success'] = true;

    return parent::withArray($array, $headers);
}

Then in your app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php register you class something like:

$myResponse = new \App\ApiResponse\MyResponse(new \League\Fractal\Manager());    
$this->app->instance('EllipseSynergie\ApiResponse\Contracts\Response', $myResponse);
