How to get an of fields provided in the query about laravel-api-handler HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi Marcel,

thanks for your reply.

I'm experimenting your api handler package with https://github.com/dingo/api and hope the author of dingo/api will integrate this package into his project.

The possibility of having the query params build in this way for searching and filtering of a query is fantastic!

Hi

Right now, there isn't a convenient method to get the fields from the parser.
I'm of course always looking to improve extensibility and usability so I could imagine to implement something like that in the future. For example:

<?php
$fields = $users->getParser()->getFields();
//Or
$fields = $users->getFields();

However right now this does not exist but nomatter what there are alternatives:

1. You can get the fields from the GET params and split them up on your own, of course then you won't have the foreign keys that are automatically added according to the _with param.
2. You should be able to get the columns from the Laravel query builder like:

<?php
//Using this for the unit tests too
$users->getBuilder()->getQuery()->columns;
//Or maybe even that one works but I guess only functions are passed to the query builder by Eloquent
$users->getBuilder()->columns;
