Ships a `Post` model, full CRUD controller, and API routes. Stores post bodies as Markdown and renders them server-side via `league/commonmark`. No opinions on auth, frontend, or theming — bring your own. --- Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.2+ - Laravel 11 or 12 - `laravel/sanctum` installed in the consuming app (for authenticated endpoints) --- Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require lontar/blog ``` The service provider is auto-discovered. Run migrations: ``` php artisan migrate ``` That's it. The API routes are registered automatically under `/api`. --- Endpoints --------- [](#endpoints) ### Public [](#public) MethodEndpointDescription`GET``/api/posts`Paginated list of published posts (`title`, `slug`, `excerpt`, `published_at`)`GET``/api/posts/{slug}`Full detail for a single published postPosts with a `null` `published_at` or a future `published_at` are treated as drafts and excluded from public responses. ### Authenticated (`auth:sanctum`) [](#authenticated-authsanctum) MethodEndpointDescription`GET``/api/posts/drafts`Paginated list of unpublished posts`POST``/api/posts`Create a new post`PUT``/api/posts/{slug}`Update a post`DELETE``/api/posts/{slug}`Delete a post`POST``/api/posts/{slug}/publish`Set `published_at` to now`POST``/api/posts/{slug}/unpublish`Set `published_at` to null--- Request Bodies -------------- [](#request-bodies) ### `POST /api/posts` [](#post-apiposts) ``` { "title": "My Post Title", "body": "Markdown content here.", "excerpt": "Optional short summary.", "published_at": "2026-03-10T00:00:00Z" } ``` `slug` is derived automatically from `title`. `excerpt` and `published_at` are optional — omit `published_at` to save as a draft. ### `PUT /api/posts/{slug}` [](#put-apipostsslug) Same fields as above, all optional. If `title` is updated, `slug` is regenerated. --- Markdown -------- [](#markdown) Post bodies are stored as raw Markdown. The `Post` model exposes a `rendered_body` attribute that converts the body to HTML on access via `league/commonmark`: ``` $post->rendered_body; // HTML string ``` Use this in your views when rendering post content. The raw `body` field is always available too. --- Post Model ---------- [](#post-model) ``` use Lontar\Blog\Models\Post; // Published posts Post::published()->get(); // All posts including drafts Post::all(); // Find by slug Post::where('slug', 'my-post')->firstOrFail(); ``` The `published` scope filters to posts where `published_at` is not null and not in the future. --- Auth ---- [](#auth) This package ships with `auth:sanctum` on write routes but does not install or configure Sanctum. Set it up in your consuming app: ``` composer require laravel/sanctum php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Sanctum\SanctumServiceProvider" php artisan migrate ``` Then ensure your `api` middleware group includes `sanctum` in `bootstrap/app.php` or `app/Http/Kernel.php`. --- License ------- [](#license) MIT ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance90 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity46 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
