laravel5-api-generator

Generates boilerplate for laravel REST API: migration, controller, model, request and route.

composer require --dev asmiarowski/laravel5-api-generator

if ($this->app->environment() == 'local') {
    $this->app->register('Smiarowski\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider');
}

For POST / PUT data to work you either have to send your request with Accept: application/json header or set up json responses globally in app/Http/Requests/Request.php like so:

/**
 * Overwrite Laravel Request method because API is always returning json
 * @return bool
 */
public function wantsJson()
{
    return true;
}

php artisan make:api-resource <table_name> --schema="<column_name>:<column_type>(<arguments>):<option>(<arguments>); [...]" --softdeletes

php artisan make:api-resource emails --schema="email:email:unique; title:string; body:text; status:integer:default(1); user_id:integer:foreign(users)" --softdeletes
