Json output

[eMaurits]

Hi,
I'm using your library for a while now and i really like it. But i have a question about the output of a save action.
If i make a save action i get output that is protected so i can't really use it.
Is there a way to just get the json output from exact so i can use that for more actions?

regards,
Egbert

Ps, i wrote this in english but i am dutch, so if its more convenient to answer in dutch thats possible ;)

Hi @bertjuuhh,

Thank you :) You can assign the new object to a variable by using $item = $item->save(); after which $item is filled with the new data. After that $item->json() will give you a json representation of the object.

Is this enough of the json you need? If not, please let me know what exactly you need from the raw json from Exact.

Hi @stephangroen,

is the same trick supposed to work for a the get function as well?
So
$result = $item->get();
$result-json().

You can always use json() method on an object that extends the Model (so all entities support it).

Alright, maybe i'm using it wrong then. Because if I use it like this :
$vatCode = new \Picqer\Financials\Exact\VatCode($connection);
$result = $vatCode->get();
$resultjson = $result->json();

I get the error : Call to a member function json() on a non-object.

I use it the exact same way with the save function.

It seems you are not getting a valid result from $vatCode->get();. You might want to check into that first. var_dump($result).

Yeah i have results, i checked it on another function aswell. The same error as result.
The result are filled with a lot of stuff as well, but it starts like this :
[0]=>
object(Picqer\Financials\Exact\VatCode)#38 (5) {
["fillable":protected]=>
array(40) {

I get result now via another way, but thats timeconsuming.

[stephangroen]

Whoops, I see the problem now. Since you are doing a get call (retrieve all vatcodes), you will get an array of VatCode objects. So $result[0]->json(); will give a JSON representation of the first object in the array.

Ah, that explain's it, thank you :)
