apideck-laravel
===============

[](#apideck-laravel)

Lightweight, beautiful, zero-config API playground and explorer for Laravel APIs.

ApiDeck automatically inspects your Laravel routes and controllers to generate a stunning UI allowing you to browse, test, and document your API without writing manual OpenAPI YAML files or docblocks.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Zero Config**: Just require the package and visit `/apideck`.
- **Dynamic Schema Reflection**: ApiDeck uses PHP Reflection to automatically read your type-hinted Controller parameters (DTOs, FormRequests) and generate JSON examples in the UI!
- **Modern UI**: Sleek, fully responsive, dark-mode ready interface.
- **Native Integration**: Seamlessly integrates with Laravel's internal router.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require muammarsiddiqui/apideck-laravel
```

Because of Laravel's package auto-discovery, the service provider will be registered automatically!

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

You don't need to do anything. Simply define your routes in `routes/api.php` or `routes/web.php`:

```
Route::prefix('api/v1')->group(function () {
    Route::get('users', [UserController::class, 'index']);
    Route::post('users', [UserController::class, 'store']);
});
```

Then open `http://localhost:8000/apideck` in your browser!

*(Note: ApiDeck automatically filters out routes that don't belong to your API to keep the interface clean).*

Advanced: Dynamic Schema Reflection (Auto-Example Generation)
-------------------------------------------------------------

[](#advanced-dynamic-schema-reflection-auto-example-generation)

ApiDeck features a powerful PHP Reflection engine. If you want ApiDeck to automatically generate **Example JSON** payloads and field schemas in the UI for your POST/PUT requests, all you have to do is strongly type-hint your controller methods or route closures!

### Using a DTO / Class

[](#using-a-dto--class)

If you type-hint a custom class, ApiDeck will read its public properties:

```
// Define your DTO class
class CreateUserDTO {
    public string $name;
    public string $email;
    public int $age;
    public bool $isActive;
}

// In your routes or controller:
Route::post('api/users', function (CreateUserDTO $payload) {
    return response()->json(['success' => true]);
});
```

### Using Form Requests

[](#using-form-requests)

If you type-hint a standard Laravel `FormRequest`, ApiDeck will try to instantiate it and parse its `rules()` array to map out the fields:

```
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class StoreUserRequest extends FormRequest {
    public function rules() {
        return [
            'name' => 'required|string',
            'email' => 'required|email'
        ];
    }
}

// In your controller
public function store(StoreUserRequest $request) {
    // ...
}
```

ApiDeck will automatically reflect on these injected parameters and display fully populated JSON example payloads in the interface!

Configuration (Optional)
------------------------

[](#configuration-optional)

If you need to change the base URL or other behavior, publish the config file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ApiDeck\Laravel\ApiDeckServiceProvider"
```
