⚠️**This package is deprecated**⚠️

Laravel support for REST apis are just fine now. [Dingo API](https://github.com/dingo/api) is not in beta anymore.

We suggest just using Laravel + `spatie/laravel-fractal`

A "mobile friendly" API package made on-top of the popular [Dingo API](https://github.com/dingo/api) package.

📝 Introduction
--------------

[](#-introduction)

Before this package we used the awesome and popular [Dingo API](https://github.com/dingo/api) package, but as a company who create **a lot** of native iOS / Android apps, [Dingo](http://github.com/dingo/api) was lacking a few things here and there.

This package is in some way a more "mobile friendly" version of [Dingo](https://github.com/dingo/api). It is build on-top of [Dingo](https://github.com/dingo/api) so all the goodies that [Dingo](https://github.com/dingo/api) comes with out-of-the-box is also available here.

We simply just added extra functionality and made it more flexible.

📦 Installation
--------------

[](#-installation)

To install this package you will need:

- Laravel 5.1+
- PHP 5.5.9+

You must then modify your `composer.json` file and run `composer update` to include the latest version of the package in your project.

```
"require": {
    "nodes/api": "^1.0"
}
```

Or you can run the composer require command from your terminal.

```
composer require nodes/api:^1.0
```

🔧 Setup
-------

[](#-setup)

Setup service providers in `config/app.php`

```
Nodes\Api\ServiceProvider::class,
```

Setup alias in `config/app.php`

```
'API' => Nodes\Api\Support\Facades\API::class,
'APIRoute' => Nodes\Api\Support\Facades\Route::class
```

Publish config files

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nodes\Api\ServiceProvider"
```

If you want to overwrite any existing config files use the `--force` parameter

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Nodes\Api\ServiceProvider" --force
```

#### Bypass Laravel's CSRF tokens

[](#bypass-laravels-csrf-tokens)

Laravel comes with a built-in CSRF token system, which is by default hooked into all `POST` requests. This gives us a bit of a problem since API requests won't contain the required CSRF token that Laravel expects. Therefore we need to *whitelist* all requests hitting our API.

This can be done by modifying the following file `app/Http/Middleware/VerifyCsrfToken.php` and add `api/*` to the `$except` array:

```
protected $except = [
    'api/*',
];
```
