laravel5-api-generator
======================

[](#laravel5-api-generator)

Generates boilerplate for laravel REST API: migration, controller, model, request and route.

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev asmiarowski/laravel5-api-generator

```

Add this to app\\Providers\\AppServiceProvider inside boot() method:

```
if ($this->app->environment() == 'local') {
    $this->app->register('Smiarowski\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider');
}

```

For POST / PUT data to work you either have to send your request with `Accept: application/json` header or set up json responses globally in app/Http/Requests/Request.php like so:

```
/**
 * Overwrite Laravel Request method because API is always returning json
 * @return bool
 */
public function wantsJson()
{
    return true;
}

```

### Command syntax

[](#command-syntax)

```
php artisan make:api-resource  --schema=":():(); [...]" --softdeletes

```

### Command options

[](#command-options)

\--schema - required, schema of your migration, validators will be set based on fields and types specified.

\--softdeletes - optional, add softDeletes() to migration

### Column types

[](#column-types)

### Custom types

[](#custom-types)

\- email - puts string type column in your migration and email validation for your request

\- url - puts text type column in your migration and url validation in request

### Example command

[](#example-command)
