Message:

I'm trying to convert the json response below in $response variable to a callable function like $response->getStatus() so it can return failed.

Here's the response

$response = '{

  "status": "failed",

  "msg": {

    "success": true,

    "license": "invalid_item_id",

    "license_limit": 2,

    "site_count": 2,

    "activations_left": 0,

    "price_id": false

  }

}'

I found something about using LazyJsonMapper.
Please how can I go about it. Thanks

My Answer:
To convert the JSON response into a callable object in PHP, you can use the LazyJsonMapper library. Here's how you can do it:

1. First, you need to install the LazyJsonMapper library using Composer. Run the following command in your terminal:


composer require jasonlewis/lazy-json-mapper


2. Once the library is installed, you can create a class that extends the LazyJsonMapper\Json class and define the properties you want to access as methods. Here's an example class for your JSON response:

php
use LazyJsonMapper\Json;

class Response extends Json
{
public $status;
public $msg;

public function getStatus()
{
return $this->status;
}

public function getMsg()
{
return $this->msg;
}
}


3. Next, you can use the Response class to parse the JSON response and access the properties as methods. Here's how you can do it:

php
$response = '{
"status": "failed",
"msg": {
"success": true,
"license": "invalid_item_id",
"license_limit": 2,
"site_count": 2,
"activations_left": 0,
"price_id": false
}
}';

$responseObject = new Response(json_decode($response, true));

echo $responseObject->getStatus(); // Output: failed
echo $responseObject->getMsg()->license; // Output: invalid_item_id


By using the LazyJsonMapper library, you can easily convert the JSON response into a callable object in PHP and access its properties as methods.
