Laravel API Boilerplate using Laravel Passport
===============================================

[](#laravel-api-boilerplate-using-laravel-passport-)

Laravel API Boilerplate is a starting point for your first API.

It is built on top of:

- Laravel Framework - [laravel/laravel](https://github.com/laravel)
- Laravel Passport - [laravel/passport](https://github.com/laravel/passport)
- Laravel-CORS [barryvdh/laravel-cors](http://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors)

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

[](#installation)

1. run `composer create-project usamamuneerchaudhary/laravel-api-boilerplate myfirstApi`;
2. Rename `.env.example` to `.env`
3. Generate Passport encryption keys & secret access tokens `php artisan passport:install`
4. Generate application key by `php artisan key:generate`
5. After DB Connection, run `php artisan migrate`. For dummy data for users, run `php artisan migrate --seed`. You can see more info in `database\seeds\UserTableSeeder.php`.
6. For Testing Emails, you can setup MailTrap.
7. Well that's it lad, it would be up and running on your server already.

Basic Requirements for the Project
----------------------------------

[](#basic-requirements-for-the-project)

1. PHP `v7.3` or greater.

Main Features
-------------

[](#main-features)

### Ready-To-Use Authentication Controllers

[](#ready-to-use-authentication-controllers)

You can find Authentication Controllers under namespace `App\Http\Controllers\API\Auth`.

### Validations

[](#validations)

There are also the validation rules for every action (login, sign up, recovery and reset) under namespace ` App\Http \Request\API\Auth`.

### Endpoints

[](#endpoints)

- Login: `POST api/v1/login`
- Register: `POST api/v1/register`
- Recover `POST api/v1/recover`
- Reset `POST api/v1/reset`
- Find Reset Token `GET api/v1/reset/{token}`
- Logout `GET api/v1/logout`
- Verify Email `api/v1/user/verify/email/{token}`

Please note that, api routes are prefixed with `v1`, you can changed this in `App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php`

### Separate File for Routes

[](#separate-file-for-routes)

All the API routes can be found in the `routes/api.php` file.

### Firewall

[](#firewall)

We're using [akaunting/firewall ](http://github.com/akaunting/firewall) to secure our API.

### Roles & Permissions

[](#roles--permissions)

Simpler way of assigning Roles & Permissions to Users. You can more details on what we've done here on [usamamuneerchaudhary/roles-permissions](https://github.com/usamamuneerchaudhary/roles-permissions)

### CRUD Scaffolding

[](#crud-scaffolding)

A Simple [CRUD Scaffolding package](https://github.com/JunaidQadirB/laravel-crud-scaffold) is being setup out of the box to keep you going without any hassle.

Creating Endpoints
------------------

[](#creating-endpoints)

You can create your endpoints in `routes/api.php` under `auth:api` middleware group.

Cross Origin Resource Sharing
-----------------------------

[](#cross-origin-resource-sharing)

If you want to enable CORS for a specific route or routes group, you just have to use the *cors* middleware on them.

Thanks to the *barryvdh/laravel-cors* package, you can handle CORS easily. Just check [the docs at this page](https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors) for more info.
