Resource point of view / Laravel model style

[sxtnmedia]

Hi everyone!

Sam, I'm impressed by your work and really loved this lib.

I'm currently developing a package based on the Saloon. Kind of a plugin, but a little bit more. It will give the possibility to use the Saloon from the perspective of a Resource in the style of Laravel Models.

$connector = new Gitlab()
$connector->issues()->find(1234); 
$item = Issue::find(1234);
$collection = Board::where('title', 'abcd')->get();
$response = Board::create(['title' => 'abcd']);

And even relationships:
$boardsCollection = Issue::find(1234)->boards;
$paginatedBoardsCollection = Issue::find(1234)->boards()->where('title' => 'abcd')->paginate();

Is there anyone interested in this kind of a package? :)

Hey, @sxtnmedia This sounds awesome! 😍 I'd love to see more, it's a yes from me. I've seen this concept written up before, but never implemented it for Saloon.

Did you say this will be for Saloon? If so, always happy to give feedback :)

[sxtnmedia]

Yep, exclusively for Saloon ;)

Here is the repo with PoC.

Earlier I made this from the scratch, writing whole SDK Builder but realised that I can get all goods from both worlds and not reinventing the wheel. So I adapted the basic functionality to the Saloon.

I don't know if someone other than me, needs this kind of approach to SDK building, but I just feel a great need to contribute something to the open source world, after all these years of using someone else's work ;)
