Using Serializers from Fractal

[codivist]

Does this have the ability to use Serializers from Fractal?

I've tried adding in the $manager->setSerializer(new DataArraySerializer()); as well as the JsonApiSerializer(), but I just receive errors as the third variable for the withItem method expects the meta array.

I'm building an api that will be consumed by Ember and I need to serialize the data so that the user reponse is 'user' instead of 'data'

I was able to use the following code to make it work

$resource = new Fractal\Resource\Item($user, new UserTransformer(), 'user');
$data = $manager->createData($resource)->toArray();
return Response::api()->withArray($data);

Would be really cool though to have a method call like:
Response::api()->setSerializer('myCustomJsonSerializer', 'user')->withItem($user, new UserTransformer);
or to somehow set the namespace of the returned data to something else.

@codivist I think i should simply add the support to set custom resource key directly in the Response::api()->withItem($user, new UserTransformer, 'user', $meta); method.

However, I also think the proper way to set the serializer is globally in the service provider. I add some comment in the default service provider to explain how to do this. You can see https://github.com/ellipsesynergie/api-response/blob/master/src/Laravel/ResponseServiceProvider.php#L41

If you want want to set a custom serializer for a specific route, you can do something like this Response::api()->getManager()->setSerializer('myCustomJsonSerializer');
