Cant supply a array to the Item Method in the response object.

[themogly]

The item method on the response object must require an object and does not allow an array.

If I use the array method the transformer you pass does nothing..

Currently having to use ArrayObject to change array to object..

Doesnt quite make sense as Fractal allows both arrays and objects.

@themogly The Fractal adapter provided by this package is setup in a way where you can attach a transformer to an object, say a UserTransformer to a User model, which is why the item method is requiring a object be passed in.

You could always cast the array to an object (object) $array, or inject the fractal instance manually and create the response that way.

currently what I am doing is this:

return $this->response->item(new ArrayObject($resource), $this->transformer);

However it wouldnt be hard to add a bit of code to check if its an array and cast to an object in the library

@themogly The issue I see with this, is that in the internals we are saving bindings to an array as they are created, to prevent them from being created again. With your approach, or the one I suggested, the same binding would be re-used for potentially two or more different resources.

Not sure if it makes sense for the response factory to support an array. You could always use the underlying fractal instance directly to transform the information
