Install

You can use Composer to install the bundle to your project:

composer require theofidry/eloquent-serializer

Laravel (~5.5.0)

Nothing to do, the provider is automatically discovered :)

Symfony (^3.4 || ^4.0)

Enable the bundle by updating your app/AppKernel.php file to enable the bundle:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    //...
    $bundles[] = new \Fidry\EloquentSerializer\Bridge\Symfony\FidryEloquentSerializerBundle();
    return $bundles;
}

Usage

use Fidry\EloquentSerializer\Bridge\Laravel\Facade\Serializer;
// Dummy is an Eloquent model
$dummy = Dummy::create([
    'id' => 100,
    'name' => 'Gunner Runte',
    'email' => 'vbrekke@example.com',
    'password' => '$2y$10$j/R4kRrymk3wMXwohvoRou2zBKJZVecr1VON.9NnSXu24k6CP6tDe',
    'remember_token' => 'PhiasHkmCh',
    'created_at' => new Carbon('2016-07-02T12:28:14+00:00'),
]);
// You can either use the Facade (Laravel) or the 'serializer' service (Laravel & Symfony)
$normalizedDummy = Serializer::normalize($dummy);
// $normalizedDummy: [
//     'id' => 100,
//     'name' => 'Gunner Runte',
//     'email' => 'vbrekke@example.com',
//     'created_at' => '2016-07-02T12:28:14+00:00',
// ];

You can find two bash scripts to help with the testing:
