Working with collections about json-api HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi!

I'm assuming you're on the latest version of the library (if not, just say). To get the array from the data key, you can do:

use CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Decoders\DocumentDecoder;
use CloudCreativity\JsonApi\Object\Resource;

/** @var string $content    the response content */
$decoder = new DocumentDecoder();
$document = $decoder->decode($content);

/** @var stdClass[] $data */
$data = $document->get('data');

/** If you want these as actual resource objects... */
$resources = array_map(function (stdClass $object) {
    return new Resource($object);
}, $data);

The reason there isn't an inbuilt way of doing this is because the library has been built to validate content coming from a client, rather than a client handling the response from a server. However, this is definitely an intended use case for the package, we just haven't put a huge amount of dev time into it yet.

It'd be a great addition if I added support for this in, because what you're trying to do is an obvious omission for the use case of handling responses

All I need to do is add a collection that holds instances of this class:
https://github.com/cloudcreativity/json-api/blob/master/src/Contracts/Object/ResourceInterface.php

And then add a method to this interface:
https://github.com/cloudcreativity/json-api/blob/master/src/Contracts/Object/DocumentInterface.php
To get the collection from the data key.

I'm happy to do this but I won't be able to get to it until the weekend at the earliest, or next week.

Closing as this change is available on the 0.6.x-dev version and will be release at v0.6
