Laravel Repository Controller
=============================

[](#laravel-repository-controller)

Easily open an HTTP api over your Laravel database.

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

Install with composer:

`composer require foothing/laravel-repository-controller`

This package will define several routes in a REST-like format that will perform operations on your database.

Add the service provider in `config/app.php`:

```
	"providers" => [

		Foothing\RepositoryController\RepositoryControllerServiceProvider::class,

	],
```

In order to enable the routes, you'll need to declare them in your `routes.php`:

```
	// ... your app routes

	RouteInstaller::install('api/v1/');
```

> Be careful and place the `RouteInstaller::install()` method at the very end of your `routes.php` in order to avoid conflicts.

> IMPORTANT: you will need to change the default Controllers namespace in `RouteServiceProvider` like so: `protected $namespace = '';`

Finally, configure your resources in the config file.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Foothing\RepositoryController\RepositoryControllerServiceProvider" --tag="config"

```

This will add the `resources.php` file in your `config` folder.

```
'resources' => array(

	// Resources must be in the form 'resourceName' => 'resourceImplementation'
	// The implementation should be a fully qualified namespace to the model.

	'user' => 'App\User',
	'foo'  => 'My\Namespace\Foo',
),
```

This will enable the routes on the specified resources.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

The `RouteInstaller` will declare the package routes. You can specify a prefix as an optional `install()` argument. The process will enable the following routes, which we'll describe in better details later.

VERBUrlNotesGET`[optionalPrefix]/resources/{resource}/{id?}/{args?}`Read resourcesPOST`[optionalPrefix]/resources/{resource}`Create resourcesPUT`[optionalPrefix]/resources/{resource}/{id}`Update resourcesDELETE`[optionalPrefix]/resources/{resource}/{id}`Delete resourcesPUT`resources/{resource}/{id?}/link/{relation}/{related}/{relatedId}`Attach many-to-manyDELETE`resources/{resource}/{id?}/link/{relation}/{related}/{relatedId}`Detach many-to-manyPOST`resources/bulk/{resource}`Bulk create resourcesPUT`resources/bulk/{resource}`Bulk update resourcesEach api endpoint will return data in `JSON` format.

### Read resources

[](#read-resources)

VerbUrlPayloadGET`[optionalPrefix]/resources/{resource}/{id?}/{args?}`*none***Examples**

- `GET api/v1/resources/user`: will return all users
- `GET api/v1/resources/user/15`: will return user with id = 15
- `GET api/v1/resources/user/15/roles` will return user 15 roles

**Pagination**

This endpoint will handle 2 querystring args for pagination:

- page (pagination page)
- ipp (pagination items-per-page)

The result will be a Laravel paginated result like:

```
{
	"total":4,
	"per_page":"25",
	"current_page":1,
	"last_page":1,
	"next_page_url":null,
	"prev_page_url":null,
	"from":1,
	"to":4,
	"data":[ the resources array ]
}
```

**Related resources**

You can pass an optional `with` query string argument that will be used to fetch relations within the requested resource:

`GET api/v1/resources/user/1?with=roles,posts`

**Auto eager loading relations**

Since this package relies on [Laravel Repository](https://github.com/foothing/laravel-repository) you can take advantage of that package *eager loading* features therefore enabling auto eager-load features on each resource.

### Create resources

[](#create-resources)

Create the requested resource.

VerbUrlPayloadPOST`[optionalPrefix]/resources/{resource}`{resourceData}**Example**

`POST api/v1/resources/user`

**POST payload**

```
{
	name: 'foo',
	email: 'foo@bar.baz'
}
```

**HTTP Response**

```
{
	id: 1,
	name: 'foo',
	email: 'foo@bar.baz'
}
```

### Update resources

[](#update-resources)

Update the requested resource.

VerbUrlPayloadPUT`[optionalPrefix]/resources/{resource}/{id}`{resourceData}**Example**

`PUT api/v1/resources/user/1`

**PUT payload**

```
{
	id: 1,
	name: 'updating name',
	email: 'foo@bar.baz'
}
```

**HTTP Response**

```
{
	id: 1,
	name: 'updating name',
	email: 'foo@bar.baz'
}
```

### Delete resources

[](#delete-resources)

Delete the requested resource.

VerbUrlPayloadDELETE`[optionalPrefix]/resources/{resource}/{id}`*none***Example**

`DELETE api/v1/resources/user/1`
