How to map Laravel API resources for Non-Related Models

Hi I'm creating non related model resources. Inventories and Categories. They have child relationship models but they are not connected directly.

Sample:

{
  "data": {
    "inventories": [
      {
        "id": 1,
        "user_id": 1,
        "sub_category_id": 6,
        "created_at": "2019-03-08 03:00:00",
        "updated_at": "2019-03-08 03:00:00",
        "deleted_at": null,
        "get_inventory_details": {
          "id": 1,
          "inventory_id": 1,
          "image_path": "Pahiram-Drone1-1.png",
          "name": "Drone i1",
          "description": "Drone i1 The Best Drone yet!",
          "quantity": 10,
          "cost_per_day": 1000,
          "cost_per_hour": 100,
          "status": "0",
          "created_at": "2019-03-08 03:00:00",
          "updated_at": "2019-03-08 03:00:00",
          "deleted_at": null
        }
      }
    ],"categories": [
      {
        "id": 1,
        "category_id": 1,
        "parent_id": null,
        "created_at": "2019-03-08 03:00:00",
        "updated_at": "2019-03-08 03:00:00",
        "deleted_at": null,
        "get_sub_category_details": {
          "id": 1,
          "sub_category_id": 1,
          "category_type_id": 1,
          "name": "Drone DJI 1",
          "description": "Drone DJI 1",
          "created_at": "2019-03-08 03:34:23",
          "updated_at": "2019-03-08 03:34:23",
          "deleted_at": null
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

This is my sample data

It works with: 

    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return parent::toArray($request);
    }

But not: 

     public function toArray($request)
     {
         return [
             'inventory_ids' => $this->inventories->id,
             'category_ids' => $this->categories->id
         ];
     }

My expected result is to be able to map my response.

You Don't access direct id from categories and inventories, because its an array not object.

This should be usefull for you.

$categoryIds = Collection::make($this->categories)->pluck('id')->toArray();
$inventoryIds = Collection::make($this->inventories)->pluck('id')->toArray();


return [
  'category_ids' => $categoryIds,
  'inventory_ids' => $inventoryIds
];
