Macro is the powerful feature of the laravel framework. Macros allow you to add on custom functionality to internal Laravel components. This laravel macro also work with laravel 5.8 , 5.7 and 5.6 .

Let's see Laravel Macro

Example 1

Let's say you are working with the api and want the below response on success

{

    "success": true,

    "msg": "Your message",

    "data": []

}

Request::macro(‘success’, function ($msg, $data) {
    Request::json([
     "success" => true,
     "msg" => $msg,
     "data" => $data
    ]);
});

And then use the above defined method

Request::success('Your message', Array()); 

Example 2

Let's see another example. Suppose you want to create a new method which we will use at the time of fail

Open the AppServiceProvider.php file and put the below code

Request::macro(‘fail’, function ($msg, $data) {
    Request::json([
     "success" => false,
     "msg" => $msg,
    ]);
});

And then use

Request::fail('Your message');

{
   "success": false,
   "msg": "Your message"
}
