\##How to setup

update `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "require": {
        "devfactory/api": "1.0.*"
    }
}
```

and run `composer update` from terminal to download files.

update `app.php` file in `app/config` directory:

```
'providers' => array(
  'Devfactory\Api\ApiServiceProvider',
),
```

```
alias => array(
    'API'          => 'Devfactory\Api\Facades\ApiFacade',
),
```

\##Configuration

```
 php artisan config:publish devfactory/api

```

\##How to use api in your route

the param `{format}` are not mandatory

```
Route::group(array('prefix' => 'v1'), function()
{
    Route::get('foo.{format}', 'ApiV1\FooController@foo');
    Route::post('bar.{format}', 'ApiV1\FooController@bar');
});

Route::group(array('prefix' => '{format}/v1'), function()
{
    Route::get('foo', 'ApiV1\FooController@foo');
    Route::post('bar', 'ApiV1\FooController@bar');
});
```

In you controller you can use

```
  return Response::api(array("foo" => "bar"), 404);
  return Response::api(array("ok"));
```

or

```
  return API::createResponse(array("foo" => "bar"), 404);
  return API::createResponse(array("ok"));
```

\##To call your service you can use the Facade

```
  API::get('v1/foo.json', array('foo' => 'bar'));
  API::post('v1/bar.xml', array('foo' => 'bar'));
  API::put('v1/bar.xml', array('foo' => 'bar'));
```
