## Json Resource with additional information along with standered values in json file
### Introduction:
How to generate customized Json data using resource in Laravel with some additional information?

>In Our previous tutorial we have seen how to generate customized Json data in which we had generated 2 field values from **`User`** tabel of database.

__Now, Assuming Requirement: I need a json data of User Table along with below aditional data like__

1. Virsion
2. attribution
3. valid_as_of

+ If i  need `Virsion`, `attribution` and `valid_as_of`, attribiutes in my Json Object.
what would i do then...

__We will add `with(){}` function with additional data in our User class as shown below:__

+ Lets see where i will make Changes in code.
NOte: Make sure you have Resourec folder with User class under `<Your-app>\app\http\Resources`

#### STEP 1: Adding with(){} with additional information.

```php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Resources;

use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\Resource;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;

class User extends Resource
{
    /**
     * Transform the resource into an array.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return array
     */
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [
            
            'name' => $this->name,
            'email' => $this->email,
            'profile' => url('/user/'. $this->id . '/'),
     
        ];
    }
    
    public function with($request){
        return [
            'version' => '2.0.0',
            'attribution' => url('/terms-of-service'),
            'valid_as_of' => date('D, d M Y H:i:s'),
        ];
    }
}
 
```

#### STEP 2: keep below below Changes in `web.php` file as it was before

```php

<?php

use App\User;
use App\Http\Resources\User as UserResource;


Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::get('/json', function () {

	$users = User::first();
    return new UserResource($users);
});

```

#### STEP 3: All set to go
+ Here my Application is **`'demo-app'`** and its virtual host url is **` http://demo-app/ `**.
So i will open browser and hit:  **`http://demo-app/json`** and see tha magic of **LARAVEL RESOURCES**
