A set of restful API classes that offer strict RESTful methods for laravel. Currently in development.

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Laravel's out the box RESTful implementation is fairly easy to use, but it is not a strict REST api. This repository offers classes to deliver a true REST implementation that matches the wikipedia definition.

- [Wikipedia definition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer#Relationship_between_URI_and_HTTP_methods)

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Simple setup/configuration
- Simple "plug-in" traits and interfaces that quickly add a full set of RESTful responses to a controller
- JSON API compliant responses
- Not implemented/not allowed/data responses available on a per method/route basis
- Easily overrideable by your own code on a per method/route basis
- Suports laravel validation

-------

[](#install)

```
composer require floor9design/laravel-restful-api
