Thus you can use the backdrop site as a backend and laravel as front end. Compatibility ------------- [](#compatibility) v. 1.\* of this package is compatible with Laravel 5.8 v. 2.\* of this package is compatible with Laravel 7.\* Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require robertgarrigos/backdrop-headless-client ``` Optionally, you can use `artisan vendor:publish --tag=backdrop-config` to publish a config file. You need to add a config value in your .env file for the backdrop api url as: ``` BACKDROP_API_SERVER="https://example.com" ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) To make use of this package, you need to install and config a [backdrop cms](https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop) site with the [headless module](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/headless), which is reponsible to create the JSON end points. You acces those endpoints in your controller with: ``` /* Nodes (v2): /api/v2/node/{type}/{id} */ $node = Backdrop::getNode($type, $id); /* Terms: /api/{vocabulary}/term/{id} */ $term = Backdrop::getTerm($vocabulary, $id); /* Views (v2): /api/v2/views/{view_name}/{display_id}/{contextual_arguments}{filter_arguments} */ $view = Backdrop::getView($view, $display_id, $args); /* Paragraphs (v3): /api/v3/paragraphs/{id} */ $paragraph = Backdrop::getParagraph($id); ``` Read my [blog post](https://www.garrigos.cat/blog/how-to-set-a-backdrop-cms-as-backend-and-a-laravel-as-frontend) about this package for a deeper understanding of how it works and how to use it. ### Changelog [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
