Laravel API Template

Building your API with Laravel.

Prerequisites

0. Install dependencies.

• Install docker, it's used for development.
• Install PHP and composer on your machine, this is optional since you can ssh into the docker container and run PHP and composer there instead.

1. Replace all laravel-api in docker-compose.yml with your custom app name (in snake-case).
2. Copy .env.example to .env..
3. Replace Laravel API in .env with your app name.
4. Update DB_DATABASE in .env with a desired database name.

Run it locally

# Run this on your machine if you have PHP/composer installed
# Otherwise you should run it inside your docker container
composer install

# Run this on your machine
docker-compose up -d

Then open http://localhost:8080

Adding API Routes

Adding routes directly to routes/api.php, we have removed the /api prefix for you.

Run Commands inside the Docker Container

docker exec -it <container_name> /bin/bash
