Manually Creating Resources =========================== Most of the time resources are created within a hydrator. But imagine you want to compose a response which is a combination of unrelated data by including it in the ``_embedded`` section. Build this inside your controller .. code:: php return HALHydratorManager::resource() ->addEmbeddedResource('model1', $model1) ->addEmbeddedResources('model2', $model2) ->addLink('self', $request->url()) ->toArray();
