• Creating hypermedia-driven resources
• Link relation management
• URI templates

Usage Example

<?php

use App\Infrastructure\Http\Link\Link;
use App\Infrastructure\Http\Link\LinkProvider;

// Create links
$selfLink = (new Link('/api/users/123'))
    ->withRel('self')
    ->withAttribute('title', 'User Profile');

$collectionLink = (new Link('/api/users'))
    ->withRel('collection');

$templateLink = (new Link('/api/users/{id}'))
    ->withRel('user');

// Create provider
$provider = (new LinkProvider())
    ->withLink($selfLink)
    ->withLink($collectionLink)
    ->withLink($templateLink);

// Get links by relation
foreach ($provider->getLinksByRel('self') as $link) {
    echo $link->getHref(); // /api/users/123
}
