A suit of basic files samples to build a light-weight , short-handed & a strong Laravel REST API Applications.

Concerning Laravel. I found myself repeating a very basic form of code each time i begin a new REST API. in which the whole Interface's pieces are developed from a sample of each piece. eg:each one of the Models, Controllers, Routes, Test suits, Requests and so on follow a certain manner of writing code.

in this repository i've collected these files samples, so i can get rid of repeating them each time in each project. and since i love to share code with others, i decided to share that repository with you! i hope you can find it useful.

Available sample files

• A Model file
• A Controller file (Note that this class extends the base controller for the API)
• A Base Base Controller file
• A Request file (Note that this class extends the base form request)
• A Base Form Request file
• API v1 Routes(Routes are loaded from the RouteServiceProvider class)
• A Feature Test File

Requirements

Basically, you'll need -besides Laravel 8.x requirements- to activate pdo_sqlite extension in your php configuration file if you're running your application in windows OS and install it if you're doing that in linux OS.

Installation

1. As any other github repo, download or clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/adnane-ka/dev-suite.git

2. Install the app's dependencies

composer install

3. Create a database and run laravel migrations

php artisan migrate

Initialization

Since everything is based on use cases, i love to let tests run and control the application. so to make sure that everything works well just run phpunit.

vendor/bin/phpunit
