Laravel Package for building REST API rapidly.

This package is based on "spatie/laravel-query-builder" allows you to rapidly creating API controllers for your Laravel application. This package also works with authorization policies.

Basic Usage

Create a new API controller: ProductApiController:

use DevLabor\Api\Http\Controllers\ApiController;

// ...

class ProductApiController extends ApiController
{
// ...
}

Extend your API routes within routes/api.php:

// ...

Route::resource('products', 'Api\ProductApiController');

Sometimes you need an identifcation for the object in your api. For this reason, you can use the DevLabor\Api\Http\Resources\ApiResource as base class for your own resource classes:

use DevLabor\Api\Http\Resources\ApiResource;

class Product extends ApiResource
{
//
}

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require devlabor/laravel-api

You can optionally publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=api

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
	'pagination' => [
		/**
		 * Number of items per page returned in index()
		 */
		'items' => 20
	]
];

Usage

Configure policy authorization

By adapting the $authorizeAbilities member in the controller class, the authorization check can be partially restricted.

// ...

protected $authorizeAbilities = [
	'viewAny', // index
	'view', // show
	'store',
	'update',
	'destroy'
];

For more information about policies, take a look at Laravel's Creating Policies

Disable policy authorization

You are able to disable the complete check with following member change in your controller class.

protected $authorizeAbilities = false;

Configure custom paths

    /**
     * Models location
     * @var string
     */
    protected $modelPath = 'App\\Models\\';

    /**
     * Resources location
     * @var string
     */
    protected $resourcePath = 'App\\Http\\Resources\\';
