How can I use JSON API Resource in a Lumen project?

Question

In Laravel it can be done as simply as it is described here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/eloquent-resources.

Some says, API Resources is not meant for Lumen. However, just for the sake of this question, I want to know, strictly, if there is a way on how to add Laravel JSON API Resource in a Lumen project (the package use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\JsonResource; is missing from freshly created Lumen project).

API Resources are available in lumen, the files are there under: vendor\illuminate\http\Resources. what's missing is the artisan command to generate them. So just create the files manually, something like: app\Http\Resources\UserResource.php

namespace App\Http\Resources;

use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\JsonResource;

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

I don't know who says, API Resources is not meant for Lumen, but that's not true.

For Lumen 5.8, if you add the package flipbox/lumen-generator: ```composer require flipbox/lumen-generator``` you will be able to use it with the artisan command ```artisan make:resource myresource``` – Osh Mansor Jan 20 '20 at 09:21

Upgrade your laravel to 6.xx run

composer install

then only you see the Resource classes under

vendor/illuminate/http/ directory
