Create Helper function

Create new folder in app/http/ by name Helpers

Create new file ResponseBuilder.php

Create new class in ReponseBuilder.php with function with same name as file, so class name will be ResponseBuilder

first we need to add namespace, as our file is in app\http\Helpers folder, namespace for the file would be namespace App\Http\Helpers;

<?php
    namespace App\Http\Helpers;

    class ResponseBuilder
    {
        public static function Result($status="", $information="", $data="")
        {
            return [
                "success"=>$status,
                "information"=>$information,
                "data"=>$data
            ];
        }
    }
?>

Note: here we have created static function, so later we can directly use it without initialization of object using :: operator.

Call Helper function in GET method

public function GetAllPost()
{
        //return Post::all();
        $data = Post::all();
        $status = true;
        $information= "Data is fetched successfully";

        return ResponseBuilder::Result($status, $information, $data)
}

Call Helper function in POST Method

public function AddPost(Request $request)
    {
        $post = new Post;

        $post->id = $request->input('id');
        $post->title = $request->input('title');
        $post->content = $request ->input('content');
        //$post->save();
        $result = $post->save();
        if($result == 1)
        {
            $status = true;
            $information = "Data added successfully";
        }
        else
        {
            $status = false;
            $information ="Data not added successfully";
        }
        return ResponseBuilder::Result($status, $information);
    }

Create Routes

//add post
$router->post('/addpost', 'PostController@AddPost');
//get all posts
$router->get('/getallpost','PostController@GetAllPost');
