JsonApiResourcefeature introduced in Laravel 12.45.0. It includes:Instructions on how to generate a JSON:API resource using the
--json-apiflag.An explanation of how the
JsonApiResourceautomatically structures the JSON output to adhere to the JSON:API specification (wrapping attributes, handlingidandtype).A code example showing a basic implementation and the resulting JSON structure.
Why is this change being made?
With the release of Laravel 12.45.0, developers now have native support for creating JSON:API compliant resources. However, this feature is not yet mentioned in the official Eloquent: API Resources documentation. Adding this section ensures that the documentation stays up-to-date with the latest framework features and helps developers implement the specification correctly.
