Send multiple variable to laravel Api resources

Question

I want to different type of collection..One containing users acros the city and another one containing near by users. I want these from single api hit. is it possible ? If yes then please suggest how to do that.

Waht I did

return  ServiceProviderCollection::collection($near_by);

Output:

"data": [
    {
        "username": "??",
        "email": "??",
        "rating": 0,
        "role_id": 2,
        "wallet": "0"
    }
],

I want

return  ServiceProviderCollection::collection($near_by,$across_city);

expected output:

{
    "across_city": {
        "data": [
            {
                "username": "??",
                "email": "??",
            }
        ],
    },
    "near_by": {
        "data": [
            {
                "username": "??",
                "email": "??",

            }
        ],

    }
}

What exactly is the class ServiceProviderCollection? This does not seem to be part of Laravel itself. — Jerodev

Laravel's resources collection. Collection resources extend the Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\ResourceCollection class. More ditails: laravel.com/docs/5.7/eloquent-resources — weaver

No, you can't pass 2 objects in Resource. You can do it like this

return [
         'across_city' =>  ServiceProviderCollection::collection($across_city),
         'near_by' => ServiceProviderCollection::collection($near_by)
       ];

Edit: After comment

If you want to show pagination information then you have to create separate controller action and then return ServiceProviderCollection::collection then you will get result with pagination meta information.

create these action in your controller ex. (UserController)

public function acrossCity(){
   $acrossCity = User::where('city','test')->paginate(10); //example 

   return ServiceProviderCollection::collection($acrossCity);
}

public function nearBy(){
   $nearBy = User::where('near','1')->paginate(10); //example 

   return ServiceProviderCollection::collection($nearBy);
}

create routes for these

Route::get('user/acrossCity','UserController@acrossCity');
Route::get('user/nearBy','UserController@nearBy');

Check document https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/eloquent-resources#pagination

Note: when using resource class then name it without Collection. For your case you should name resource as ServiceProviderResource and then when you call its collection then ServiceProviderResource::collection($object) but when returning single object then new ServiceProviderResource($object).

You used two different routes. mean i can't get both result near_by and across_city at same time. i need both result on single route hit

I am currently using Laravel 7 and in my controller I am passing an array of collection objects to resource class

 $data = ['quotation' => Quotation::first()]; 
 return new QuotationResource($data);

and in my resource class I can access the data using

   public function toArray($request)
   {
        return [
            'quotation' => $this->resource['quotation']
        ];
    }
