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

return HALHydratorManager::resource()
    ->addEmbeddedResource('model1', $model1)
    ->addEmbeddedResources('model2', $model2)
    ->addLink('self', $request->url())
    ->toArray();
