Laravel Sunset

Laravel Sunset allows you to deprecate URLs (API or otherwise).

The Sunset header is an in-development HTTP response header that is aiming to standardize how URLs are marked for deprecation. tl:dr; it looks a bit like this:

Sunset: Sat, 31 Dec 2018 23:59:59 GMT

This can be combined with a Link: <http://foo.com/something> rel="sunset" which can be anything that might help a developer know what is going on. Maybe link to your API documentation for the new resource, the OpenAPI/JSON Schema definitions, or even a blog post explaining the change.

Install

Via Composer

composer require hskrasek/laravel-sunset

Usage

Within your base controller, add the following:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use HSkrasek\Laravel\Sunset\SunsetsEndpoints;

class Controller {
    use SunsetsEndpoints;
}

Then when returning a response from your controller, do the following:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use HSkrasek\Laravel\Sunset\SunsetsEndpoints;

class APIController extends Controller {
    public function index()
    {
        // Other logic here
        return $this->sunsetsResponse(
            response()->json(['foo' => 'bar',]),
            '2017-12-31 23:59:59', // When this endpoint is being deprecated
            'http://example.com' // Optional link explaining the deprecation
        );
    }
}
