Using The Presenter Class

After you create the presenter class, you need to register it on the Model by adding the $presenters protected property:

 1use App\Presenters\UserPresenter;
 2use Coderflex\LaravelPresenter\Concerns\CanPresent;
 3use Coderflex\LaravelPresenter\Concerns\UsesPresenters;
 4// ...
 5 
 6class User extends Authenticatable implements CanPresent
 7{
 8    use UsesPresenters;
 9 
10    protected $presenters = [
11        'default' => UserPresenter,
12    ];
13}

By default, the type of your presenter class is default, but you can use as many of presenters you want, just by identifying the type in $presenters property.

Example

Now, after we generated the presenter class, and we implemented it successfully in our model, we can use it like so:

In your UserPresenter class or any presenter class you generated.

1...
2class UserPresenter extends Presenter
3{
4    public function fullName()
5    {
6        return "{$this->model->first_name} {$this->model->last_name}";
7    }
8}
9...

We add a new method to present the fullName.

In your blade or any place you want, you can do:

1$user->present()->fullName

Your application will show the full name from the method you added.
